What should a man do when he has a cold?

In general, male colds may be caused by factors such as inadequate warmth protection or pathogen infection. Improvement can be achieved through dietary adjustments, general treatment, physical therapy, Western medicine treatment, and traditional Chinese medicine treatment. Specific analysis is as follows:

1. Dietary Adjustment

If the illness is mild and does not cause obvious symptoms such as fever or cough, improvement can usually be achieved by consuming foods rich in vitamins and protein to enhance disease resistance. Additionally, drinking plenty of water helps keep oral mucosa moist, which also benefits symptom relief.

2. General Treatment

When feeling weak, getting more rest and maintaining a regular sleep schedule can promote physical recovery.

3. Physical Therapy

If fever is present but body temperature does not exceed 38.5°C, methods such as warm compresses or tepid sponge baths may be used under medical guidance to regulate body temperature.

4. Western Medicine Treatment

Patients with more severe symptoms typically require medication for symptom improvement. For example, when body temperature exceeds 38.5°C, antipyretic medications such as ibuprofen granules, ibuprofen capsules, or acetaminophen tablets may be used under medical supervision to control fever.

5. Traditional Chinese Medicine Treatment

If patients prefer not to take Western medicine, treatments such as Lianhua Qingwen Capsules or Ganmao Ling Granules may be used under medical guidance.

If cold symptoms occur, timely medical consultation is recommended to avoid delaying treatment.
