The common cold is one of the most frequently seen diseases in clinical settings, caused by viral infections. The most prevalent symptoms are nasal, such as sneezing, runny nose, and nasal congestion.

What is the temperature of a fever caused by a cold?

Colds are very common clinically, and due to different types of colds, patients exhibit varying clinical symptoms. Typically, febrile colds often occur in the summer. The specific fever temperature varies from person to person. Some patients with febrile colds may not develop a fever at all, while others may experience high fevers accompanied by symptoms like chills and other clinical discomforts. Therefore, the specific temperature of a febrile cold is determined by each patient's individual condition. In cases where the resistance is relatively good, it is common for some patients to have a mild infection and not develop a fever, while others might have a fever around 39°C or even higher.

Is it good to sweat when you have a stomach flu?

Gastrointestinal cold is a very common type of cold. In addition to various degrees of upper respiratory tract symptoms, patients also experience gastrointestinal symptoms, particularly common ones such as decreased appetite, abdominal bloating, diarrhea, nausea, and vomiting. Some patients may also have varying degrees of fever. For such patients, if they have both fever and severe diarrhea, they are prone to sweating because the body needs time to cool down to normal temperature after a fever, which often results in sweating. Moreover, patients may experience sweating due to severe dehydration. If these factors are present, the situation is generally not good, so it is important to provide timely symptomatic treatment based on the symptoms exhibited by the patient.
