Patient's question:
Last night it was too hot, so I quickly turned on the air conditioner. This morning after coming down, I felt dizzy, had a headache, and was completely drained. I also kept hiccuping and had a runny nose. I thought it was a cold, so I drank some Cold Relief Granules, but it didn't help at all and I felt worse. I searched online and found it might be air conditioner disease. Hello, do I have air conditioner disease?Doctor's answer:
Your symptoms are likely a recurrence of a cold. After sleeping, your immune system may recover, but if the air conditioning is still running, you may catch a cold again. Your symptoms are also typical of a cold. A cold is a viral infection that has a certain course and typically requires 5 to 7 days to develop antibodies before gradually improving. Therefore, you can take Gan Mao Ling, but it will take a few days to take effect.
