At the beginning of the cold, there are symptoms such as headache, body aches, sore throat, sneezing and runny nose. As the cold gradually gets better, the body aches disappear, sneezing decreases, sore throat is reduced, and the spirit and appetite are restored. If after 3 or 5 days the generalized aches and pains, fever, low fever, or sore throat persist, it should be noted that the condition may be aggravated, the body temperature may rise again, cough and phlegm may appear, and it should also be noted that complications caused by the cold should be excluded. In terms of physical recovery, the recovery of physical strength, the improvement of appetite, the reduction of throat symptoms and the disappearance of various discomforts are signs that the cold is getting better. Therefore, clinically, you can judge whether a cold is improving or not by yourself. For example, if you have a lot of general discomfort at the beginning, but your symptoms gradually decrease and your body gradually recovers after drinking water, resting or taking medication, it is a sign that your cold is improving. Therefore, to distinguish whether the cold is getting better or worse, the main observation is whether the cold is getting better in 5-7 days.
