Dr. Li Yi
After a cold, the body may experience certain discomforts, such as generalized fatigue, poor sleep, and reduced physical resilience. In more severe cases, symptoms like headache and dizziness may occur. These symptoms could also indicate possible blood pressure abnormalities; therefore, it is recommended to measure both blood pressure and body temperature to assess for any abnormalities. Targeted treatment with appropriate anti-cold medications is advised.
