It is a normal phenomenon for patients to have generalized aches and pains after catching a cold, mainly caused by the following two factors: 1. The patient has fever after catching a cold, and the fever will cause the muscles of the whole body to produce a lot of lactic acid, so it will cause the symptoms of generalized aches and pains. 2. The virus or bacteria causing the cold will secrete a lot of inflammatory factors in the body, and these inflammatory factors will stimulate the muscle nerves, so it will cause generalized aches and pains. These inflammatory factors will stimulate the muscle nerves, so there will be symptoms such as whole body aches and pains. Generally, after the symptoms of cold and fever are healed, the symptoms of general body aches and pains will disappear. During the cold period, patients should pay attention to drink more water to speed up the metabolism of lactic acid in the body, which will help the recovery of the symptoms of general body aches and pains. If the patient’s symptoms are more serious, he can take analgesic and anti-inflammatory drugs such as ibuprofen and aspirin under the guidance of a doctor to treat and relieve the symptoms.
