Seasonal colds are caused by the change of seasons, where the difference between day and night temperatures is significant. This cold is due to external pathogenic wind, which is related to a decrease in the body's immune capacity and exposure to cold. It involves infection by rhinoviruses and can lead to symptoms like runny nose, sneezing, sore throat, headache, and fever. It is advised to drink plenty of water, rest, monitor body temperature, and treat symptoms accordingly. If there are no other complications, complete recovery can occur within 3 to 7 days.

Can I eat oysters when I have a cold?

You can eat oysters when you have a cold. However, it's important to control the amount consumed and not eat too many oysters. During a cold, the body is very weak, and eating too many oysters can increase the burden on the gastrointestinal tract. Oysters are considered a "cold" food and consuming too many can also have an adverse effect on a cold. During a cold, it's also important to eat light food and not arbitrarily add seasonings to food; overly salty or spicy foods are not advisable.

What to eat for a child with a cold?

If a child's cold is considered to be caused by a viral infection, it is important to monitor the baby's temperature and mental response, among other factors. If the child does not have a fever, or only has a low fever and is in good spirits, simply monitoring the baby’s condition and ensuring they drink plenty of warm water and eat light, easily digestible foods is sufficient, with no other special requirements needed. However, some colds, such as those with persistent high fever, lethargy, and poor responsiveness, are more serious and require immediate attention. It is crucial to visit the hospital for further diagnosis and treatment in these cases. Sometimes, the impact of a cold should not be underestimated, as diseases like myocarditis and intracranial infections can initially be triggered by a cold. Therefore, a comprehensive analysis is necessary to make a judgement, and treatment should proceed under the guidance of a doctor.

What should I do if a cold and fever persist?

It is necessary to take corresponding interventions based on the degree of fever to prevent complications such as high fever convulsions and coma. Firstly, drink more water and rest more. You can wipe your palms, feet, neck, and inner thighs—areas where major blood vessels pass—with warm water or alcohol, which can help restore body temperature. You can also use a cool towel or ice packs to compress the forehead, which can protect brain cells and be effective. Along with taking antipyretic and analgesic drugs for symptomatic treatment, re-measure the temperature after two hours.

What should I do if the baby has a cold and is vomiting milk?

Baby colds accompanied by vomiting of milk indicate that the child has an upper respiratory infection along with gastrointestinal symptoms. A cold can cause poor digestion or stomach discomfort, which might lead to vomiting of milk. First, ensure the child's diet is light and easy to digest. For babies who are formula-fed, you can give them probiotics or gastric protease granules, which can help alleviate gastrointestinal discomfort and are also beneficial for reducing vomiting. Additionally, after each feeding, it's important to hold the baby upright and pat their back to burp them, then hold them a bit longer. When sleeping, place the baby in a right-side lying position with the head of the cot elevated at a 15-degree angle. By managing this way, the vomiting in most children can be alleviated.
