There is a cold going around

日常

Colds seem to be prevalent this time of year.I don’t know how to tell the difference between the flu or corona, but even if I went to the hospital to check it out and they said, “It’s corona,” I’d feel fine either way.

And it’s no less painful either way.

Either way, I’m sure I’ll suffer from joint pain, chills, and a rising fever.

If your immune system is weakened by stress or other factors, you are more susceptible to the disease and should rest immediately if you feel sick.

*I think the response is usually to immediately seek medical attention and get a prescription for medication.

get a good night’s sleep

I would lie down immediately. I have painkillers in my regular medicine and would take them if I couldn’t sleep because of joint pain.

Then I’ll get enough sleep, my body temperature will rise, I’ll sweat (because it inhibits the virus from multiplying), and when I wake up in the morning, I’ll feel a little better than I did yesterday.

Some of them may start coughing and have difficulty speaking, etc.

Medications should also be used effectively.
Medications are only a coping mechanism. The rest depends on one’s immunity.

Nutrition and hydration

When you catch a cold, you may have a sore throat and lose your appetite.

In such a case, it is better not to force yourself to eat…but it will make you weak and slow down the healing process, so try to take in liquid nutrition such as vegetable soup. Nutrients such as vitamin C and A strengthen the skin and mucous membranes and improve the function of white blood cells.

Alcohol should be avoided as much as possible (^^;)

If you have a good appetite, I recommend adding shredded ginger to porridge or rice porridge.

If you feel that your body is beginning to heal, take a bath to warm up and take in nutrients.
