What causes recurring colds?

The weather is hot and cold, and many people will catch a cold. It is rare for a person to have never caught a cold in his life. However, having caught a cold does not mean that you will not catch a cold again next time. Colds are very common symptoms in our daily life. They always come back again and again, which is very troublesome. Especially in the cold winter, the high incidence season of colds, if you don't pay attention to prevention, it is very easy to catch a cold. So, what is the reason for the repeated colds?

What to do if you catch a cold repeatedly in winter

In the emergency rooms of several hospitals, we saw that both the waiting rooms and outside were filled with patients who came for treatment due to constant coughing and high fever. The beds and recliners in the observation room were mostly filled with patients with high fever who were receiving intravenous drips and fluid replacements. Many people have just recovered from a cold and then come to the hospital for emergency treatment after suffering from a cold and fever.

Office workers have become the hardest hit area

People who work in office buildings are most susceptible to recurrent colds. Due to the large temperature difference between inside and outside the building, the human body cannot adapt well, and bacteria and viruses will come to you. Some office buildings have poor natural ventilation conditions, and one person with a cold can easily infect more people. Many young white-collar workers lack exercise in their daily lives. In the cold winter, they are unwilling to go outdoors for exercise. Their physical fitness will naturally decline compared to when they exercise. Once they catch a cold, it is difficult for them to recover, and they are most likely to suffer from recurrent colds.

Doctors remind people to pay special attention to ventilation in the office and to open windows frequently for fresh air. If a well-enclosed office building is not well ventilated and there is someone with a cold, the tiny particles of saliva sprayed out by the sneezing and coughing will float in the air and be inhaled into the body by a normal person, making him or her the next patient. At the same time, office workers still need to insist on physical exercise in winter to improve their immunity in order to avoid repeated colds.

Women are more likely to catch colds repeatedly

Compared with men, women are more susceptible to colds. It is particularly important for women to avoid frequent colds, overcome sub-health and low immunity, and choose health protection, especially in winter. Most of the people suffering from colds are women because their physical constitutions are relatively weak due to their special physiological characteristics and physiological cycles. Especially during pregnancy, lactation and menopause, the body's immunity is low, and colds are most likely to attack people with low immunity.

When women have not recovered well after giving birth and are then exposed to the cold, they are most likely to catch a cold. Women with weak constitutions are also prone to catching colds if they do not take proper care of themselves during their menstrual period, wear too little clothing, or catch a cold due to wind and cold. They cannot effectively resist viral attacks and are also prone to catching colds. When women catch a cold during pregnancy or breastfeeding, it is difficult to choose medicine for treatment and they are afraid of affecting the fetus or breastfeeding, making it even more difficult to cure and causing repeated colds.

So, a cold is a small matter, and repeated attacks can also cause physical and mental distress. The editor thinks that to resist a cold, we must first start with ourselves, strengthen our physical fitness, and insist on exercising; of course, we must also start with small things in life, do a good job of relevant hygiene, develop good eating and rest habits, and strive to restore our health as soon as possible.
