In clinical settings, when headache and cold symptoms appear, it's advisable to measure body temperature. If there are signs of fever, using a cool towel or ice pack to apply a cold compress to the forehead, and wiping the palms of the hands, the soles of the feet, the neck, and the chest with warm water or alcohol can aid in physically lowering the fever. It is recommended to drink plenty of water, rest adequately, avoid stress, stay away from staying up late, and refrain from smoking and drinking alcohol. Consuming more green bean sprouts, tomatoes, carrots, and foods high in Vitamin C is advised, while avoiding spicy foods like chili peppers and stimulating products such as meat.
