A cold is not about detoxing; it is a type of disease. It is caused by a viral infection leading to a respiratory infection, which can cause symptoms such as coughing, runny nose, sore throat, fever, headache, body aches, fatigue, nausea, and vomiting. It is important to properly understand that one should drink plenty of water during a cold, measure body temperature twice a day, and avoid eating spicy, overly greasy foods. The main treatment principle is to choose pain-relieving medications to alleviate symptoms like fever, headache, and body aches. For a runny nose and sneezing, antihistamine medications can be used for symptomatic treatment, and they can also be combined with antiviral medications.
