Cold Treatment:
(1) Ensure sufficient rest: Let the body have enough energy to resist bacteria and viruses
(2) Ensure air circulation: Because the air we breathe usually contains a large number of pathogenic bacteria such as viruses and bacteria, but under normal circumstances, our body's detoxification system will transport it to the nasopharynx, and then within half an hour Delivered to the stomach and finally excreted by the stomach. When you have a cold, the number of bacteria builds up over time because the exhaled breath itself contains bacteria and bacteria in the room. The disease will not only lessen but get worse. Therefore, when you catch a cold, you should ensure the relative circulation of the air.
(3) Drink plenty of water: When you catch a cold, your metabolism speeds up, your energy consumption increases, and your body gets hot, so the water seals are quickly excreted from your body. If you don't drink water when you have a cold, dehydration can last a long time, so try to drink plenty of fluids when you have a cold.

(7) Remove nasal congestion and other causes: Usually we breathe through the nose, which will cause a lot of bacteria and viruses in the air to enter the nasal cavity. If you don't clear your nasal passages when you have a cold, it can lead to a buildup that can make the condition worse.
