Headache and stuffy head, is it a cold?

Patient's question:

This morning, when I went to bed, I suddenly felt lightheaded and heavy-footed, kept wanting to take a nap, and felt completely exhausted. I also lacked energy even after work. My head was still stuffy, and I had no appetite for anything. Stars were flashing in front of my eyes. I was a bit worried that other problems might occur again. Is it a cold that's making my head feel heavy and stuffy?

Doctor's answer:

In your case, it might be caused by a cold. However, based on your description, it seems more likely to be a severe cold. In such cases, it is recommended to visit a hospital for a thorough blood test to check for a decrease in white blood cells or lymphocytes. If lymphocytes are found to be low, antiviral treatment may be necessary. Alternatively, if white blood cells or other infectious cells are decreased, antiviral treatment may be required.
Additionally, drink more warm water and eat nutritious foods to boost your immune system, as physical factors are a primary cause of colds. Rest more often and avoid overexertion. Pay attention to weather changes, as weather conditions are also a major cause of colds.
