Symptoms of catching a cold while sleeping at night

With the arrival of summer, the temperature of our living environment is gradually rising. It also puts many people in a very hot environment, so many people choose not to cover themselves with quilts when they sleep at night. Because the temperature is high, if they cover themselves with quilts, it will make us even hotter. So let’s take a look at the symptoms of catching a cold while sleeping at night.

1. If you have stomach pain, you must first determine the cause of the pain. You cannot attribute stomach pain caused by physical illness to catching a cold. Otherwise, delaying the treatment of the disease will have serious consequences. Stomach pain caused by cold is often in the navel and its surrounding area. The pain is often discontinuous, and the pain intensity fluctuates in irregular waves, that is, the pain is sometimes light and sometimes heavy. You can only treat a cold yourself, but you must see a doctor if your stomach pain is caused by pathological reasons.

2. Some people will suffer from diarrhea in addition to stomach pain after catching a cold. In this case, once the diarrhea is stopped, the stomach pain will naturally go away. If the stomach pain still occurs after the diarrhea is stopped, continue to take other methods to expel the wind. To stop diarrhea, you can go to a pharmacy and buy some medicine such as norfloxacin; you can also do it yourself. The specific method is to find a piece of fresh ginger, mash it into paste, and then use the ginger paste to mix with white wine and drink it. Please note that you need to use older ginger for better effects, and take it together with wine and ginger paste.

3. If you have an moxa device at home, you can use moxa sticks to moxa your navel, which can also treat stomach pain caused by cold. Generally, moxa massage is only required once or twice, with each session lasting more than half an hour.

5. If you have stomachache caused by wind, you can also use silver utensils to dispel wind and relieve pain. The specific method is: use onions, mugwort, ginger slices, etc. to add water to boil an egg in a shell. After the egg is cooked, take it out and carefully split it in half with a sharp knife (do not peel it), remove the yolk, and then sandwich the silver between the two halves of the egg white, wrap the egg with gauze or a towel, and then apply hot compress to the navel; after it cools down, soak it in mugwort and other medicinal materials and boil it in water, and apply hot compress repeatedly; open the cloth bag every ten minutes or so to see if the silver has turned black. If it has turned black, polish it and apply hot compress again, and continue to apply it until the silver no longer turns black, which means that the wind has been completely driven away and the stomachache will be cured.

6. You can also use garlic and ginger paste for hot compress to dispel wind and relieve pain. This method is suitable for cases where the wind-cold is not severe.

When it cools down, heat them again and continue to apply hot compress for about half an hour. Generally, one or two applications are sufficient.

7. If the cold is not serious, you can also use cooling oil, wind oil and wind-repellent oil to rub the navel and the surrounding area. Apply three or two times a day to relieve pain.
