Patients with gastroenteritis can improve and treat their condition by scraping the kidney shu point, lung shu point, middle cavity point, upper cavity point, and lower cavity point during regular scraping sessions. Dietary attention is also crucial; it is best to avoid greasy, cold, and irritating foods, as they can increase the burden on the stomach and intestines and worsen the condition. The diet should mainly consist of light foods, including fresh fruits and vegetables. Consuming millet porridge and rice porridge can also help with digestion and improve symptoms of gastroenteritis.

Can air conditioning cause coughing?

Air conditioning cold is also a very common factor that triggers the onset of colds. Clinically speaking, an air conditioning cold is typically caused by staying too long in an air-conditioned room during the hot summer, where the temperature is set too low, leading to clinical symptoms such as nasal congestion, runny nose, and fever. Even for colds caused by catching a chill, the symptoms can vary in severity among patients, and not all patients will exhibit the same clinical symptoms. Some patients may not show obvious coughing, while others might develop coughing symptoms due to exposure to air conditioning. Therefore, it is necessary to consider the specific circumstances of each patient, as the immune function of each patient varies, leading to different clinical symptoms after catching a chill.

What should you not eat when you have a cold and nasal congestion?

Colds are very common in clinical settings, often due to a patient's lowered immune function. Patients may inadvertently come into contact with viruses, bacteria, or other pathogens, leading to symptoms such as nasal congestion, runny nose, sneezing, sore throat, fever, and cough. For patients experiencing nasal congestion from a cold, it is advised to avoid spicy and irritating foods such as chili peppers, raw onions, and raw garlic. Additionally, they should not consume cold or cooling foods and should avoid smoking and drinking alcohol to prevent exacerbating the symptoms of the cold. Therefore, during a cold, it is advisable to avoid seeking cool environments and to not set the air conditioning too low to prevent getting chilled again.

Can a baby take a bath when they have a cold?

When babies have a cold, it is generally not recommended to give them a bath soak, but showering is acceptable. This is because soaking for an extended period may worsen the symptoms of the cold. However, if the baby has a fever, showering with warm water can help reduce their temperature, which is an effective physical cooling measure. But if soaking in a bath, the extended time in the water and the slight dilation of pores may allow cold to penetrate further into the body, potentially worsening the cold symptoms. Therefore, under these circumstances, it is temporarily advised against giving babies a bath soak. However, a medicinal herbal bath is a different matter.

What fruit cures a cold?

Colds are caused by viral infections, often causing symptoms such as sneezing, runny nose, nasal congestion, cough, headache, and fever. So, is there any fruit that can cure a cold? We know that there is currently no particularly effective treatment for colds, so it is unrealistic to treat colds with fruit. The current treatment methods for colds mainly involve symptomatic treatment medications, such as compound cold medicines, antipyretic analgesics, and some traditional Chinese medicines to alleviate symptoms. In addition, it is important to rest, avoid cold exposure, drink plenty of water, quit smoking, and ensure room ventilation, which is beneficial for the recovery from a cold.
