Hello everyone!

It is "Kumagai Internal Medicine and Neurology Clinic" near Motomachi Chinatown.

 

If you catch a cold, you will be divided into "people who go to the hospital" and "people who do not go to the hospital".

Many people will cure a cold with only over-the-counter medicines.

Therefore, this time I would like to introduce whether it is better to relieve fever when you have a cold, and what kind of symptoms should go to the hospital.

 

• Do I need to lower the heat?

When a cold is caught, heat is generated as a biological reaction that removes bacteria and viruses that have entered the body. There is fever = I am in a state of treatment with immunity, so there is no need to forcibly lower the fever.

However, if the fever persists and you have symptoms such as a blurred head, you may use a fever relieving painkiller to relieve the fever.

 

• When should I go to the hospital?

Basically, many people endure coughs and fever. Let's go to

 

In recent years, special rates have been added to going directly to large hospitals.

I would like you to go to a medical institution such as our hospital first, and go to a big hospital if necessary.
