Patients are advised to undergo a comprehensive physical examination, including basic tests such as complete blood count, thyroid function, liver and kidney function, blood glucose, and lipid profile, as well as necessary digestive system evaluations such as stool routine test and colonoscopy, to rule out organic diseases. In daily life, patients should adjust their eating habits to ensure a balanced diet with adequate intake of protein, vitamins, and minerals. They should avoid consuming raw, cold, unclean, or potentially allergenic foods. It is recommended to eat more foods that have the effect of warming yang and invigorating qi, such as lamb, longan, and red dates, to help alleviate cold intolerance symptoms.
It is important to maintain a regular lifestyle, especially regarding sleep. Patients should try to go to bed at a consistent time each night and create a quiet and comfortable sleeping environment. If symptoms persist or worsen, prompt medical consultation is recommended.
