Sometimes the weather can change at will, but when the body's resistance decreases, it can easily cause symptoms of a cold. Every time they catch a cold, many people choose to go to the hospital for injections in order to recover quickly. However, due to individual differences in physical conditions, some people may experience white tongue after receiving a cold injection. So, what should be done if the tongue turns white after receiving a cold injection?
After receiving a cold injection, the tongue turns white, which belongs to the category of wind cold cold. Wind cold cold is a cold caused by catching a cold in the wind, usually due to fatigue, lack of rest, and exposure to wind or cold. Specifically, the onset of wind cold cold is relatively sudden, with fever, chills, and even chills. There is no sweating, nasal congestion, runny nose, cough, thin and white phlegm, headache, body aches, decreased appetite, normal urination and defecation, thin and white tongue coating, etc. Wind cold cold cold is a self-healing disease, and the general course of the disease is within one week. If the condition is mild, it can be left untreated, and the patient's body will heal on its own. In severe cases, treatment is needed.
Although a cold is a minor illness, it can also cause some complications, and when a cold is prevalent, the number of cases is high, so it cannot be ignored. If left untreated, viral infections can spread to nearby organs and cause other diseases, with sinusitis being more common when the infection spreads to the sinuses around the nasal cavity.
Parents often purchase cold medicine or even antibiotics for their children without distinguishing the type of cold, leading to the use of incorrect or excessive drugs. This not only fails to cure the cold, but can also seriously damage the child's immune system, making it more harmful than beneficial.
When a child has a cold or fever, parents usually use ice cubes to apply ice to their forehead. The purpose of applying ice cubes is to remove excess temperature through blood flow, but the forehead does not have large blood vessels, which cannot quickly reduce the fever. If cold compress is really needed to cool down, a location with large blood vessels should be chosen.
Pay attention to your body. During a cold, try to drink more hot water as much as possible, which is more conducive to helping the body eliminate toxins and promoting metabolism. At the same time, it is important to rest well and avoid staying up late, as this can easily increase physical stress. Eating more fresh fruits and vegetables can help supplement vitamins, and when you have free time, you can actively participate in outdoor exercise activities.
