Don't worry if a cold hasn't healed within a week. Generally, a cold will gradually get better within a week, but if the cold is more serious, it may take longer. The most important thing at this time is to pay attention to recuperation and get enough rest. You can use medication under the guidance of a doctor, and you should also improve your diet, such as drinking some ginger tea, drinking more water, etc. What should I do if my cold hasn't healed for a week? 1. Drink ginger tea if you have a cold. Generally speaking, most patients with a cold will go directly to the pharmacy to buy some medicine. If they get sick once or twice, they can take cold medicine, but for patients who often catch colds, taking medicine for a long time will not have any effect. Because the human immune system is not only resistant to viruses, it can also develop resistance to drugs. If you take the same medicine frequently, it will not only fail to kill the viruses in the body, but will also increase the burden on the immune system. Therefore, try to take less medicine at this time. It is better to drink some ginger tea, which may have miraculous effects. 2. Drink more water if you have a cold. Most patients catch a cold because of secondary bacterial infection or viral infection, and our body’s immune system will try its best to eliminate all viruses in the body. If you drink more water during a cold, it will be more diuretic, which will help eliminate the virus from the body. At the same time, if the patient has a fever during a cold, he needs to drink more water, because fever will cause a large amount of water loss in the body, so it needs to be replenished. Therefore, when dealing with a cold that never gets better, if the medicine has no effect, stop taking it or switch to other medicines. Patients can take some physical treatment methods, or they can use the healthier treatment methods passed down from the folks, which may help them recover as soon as possible. |
