After getting caught in the rain, you may take a warm bath to enhance systemic blood circulation and promote sweating, which helps raise body temperature and facilitate detoxification. Drinking ginger tea is also beneficial—it helps dispel cold pathogens, warm the stomach, and promote sweating and cold dissipation. Additionally, drinking plenty of warm water helps prevent excessive fluid loss and supports both cold dispersion and heat dissipation. For cold prevention, prophylactic oral administration of medications such as Isatis Root Granules or Antiviral Oral Liquid may be considered.
