When the condition of hyperthyroidism is not under control, excessive consumption of nutrients, hypoproteinemia, wasting, sweating, etc., it is easy to make hyperthyroidism patients more prone to colds than ordinary people. The autoimmune function of hyperthyroid patients is also abnormal, so the resistance to viruses is poor. Therefore, when the hyperthyroidism is not cured and the cold occurs, this time you can take cold medicine.

In addition, patients with hyperthyroidism should appropriately restrict foods containing much dietary fiber to avoid aggravating diarrhea.
