What is the reason for fever and sweating

Old people often say that after a cold or fever, sweating will help you get better faster. Therefore, many people don’t care about sweating when they have a cold or fever. So, do you know what causes fever and sweating? In fact, fever and sweating are our body's self-regulation to prevent high temperature from affecting our body organs. It can be said that fever and sweating are normal phenomena.

Fever and sweating are normal reactions of the human immune system. They can expel toxins and excess heat from the body, protect internal organs from damage, lower body temperature, and restore normal body functions. Excessive sweating will inevitably damage the heart fluid and affect the normalization of human body functions, so it is necessary to replenish water in time and drink more warm water to facilitate the normal metabolism of the human body.

treat

Theoretically, the cold is a self-limiting disease. Even if you don't take medicine, as long as you drink plenty of water and take good care of yourself, you can recover on your own in about a week. However, if it does not heal itself within a week, you should go to the hospital for examination and treatment as soon as possible.

The treatment of cold and fever is mainly symptomatic. It is recommended to take medicine after the body temperature exceeds 38.5℃ after the fever caused by the cold. The commonly used one is dilno ibuprofen suspension, the ibuprofen component of which has antipyretic and analgesic effects. It is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug and a cyclooxygenase inhibitor. It has few side effects at regular doses and is used to relieve symptoms such as fever, headache, sore limbs, sneezing, runny nose, nasal congestion, and sore throat caused by the common cold and influenza.

Exercise can prevent colds

Regular exercise not only helps you strengthen your muscles, but it also helps prevent colds. People who exercise five or more times a week are less likely to catch a cold than those who exercise once a week or not at all, a new study shows.

David Nieman of Appalachian State University in the United States, who led the study, and his colleagues followed the respiratory health of 1,000 volunteers aged 18 to 85 for 12 weeks. This period is autumn and winter, when colds are most likely to occur. Respondents will be asked questions about their exercise habits and personal feelings. The results showed that respondents who exercised more than five times a week had a much shorter cold duration than the control group who only exercised once a week or not at all, only 43% to 46% of the latter's duration. During a cold, people who exercised regularly had much milder symptoms than a control group of people who exercised little or no.

In subsequent experiments, the researchers found that exercise stimulates the body's immune cells to remain active within 3 hours after exercise. In other words, if a person can stick to moderate exercise, the immune cells in his body will remain active for a longer period of time, which is helpful in resisting the invasion of pathogens. In addition, the study found that the incidence of colds is not high among the elderly and married adults. The researchers explained that the elderly are less likely to catch colds perhaps because they have more cold antibodies in their bodies than young people; and married adults lead more regular lives and have limited activities, so they are less exposed to cold germs, and so the chance of being infected is relatively small.
