What to do when you have a headache and dizziness from a cold

When headache and dizziness appear during a cold, it depends on the severity of the headache and dizziness and the accompanying symptoms. When a fever occurs during a cold, headache can often be seen, and when the fever is more pronounced, the headache is even more severe, so antipyretic and anti-inflammatory drugs can be applied, such as ibuprofen or acetaminophen, and indomethacin can also be chosen, and the headache can usually be relieved after the body temperature recedes to normal. If the headache is not particularly severe, the headache can also be treated without separate treatment. Some compounded cold medicines contain caffeine, which is also effective for headaches. Some headaches are not necessarily a symptom of a cold, but are indicative of encephalitis or meningitis, so they should be treated for encephalitis, meningitis or intracranial hypertension. Dizziness is also a frequently seen symptom, affecting the cochlear vestibular nervous system if it is accompanied by a sensation of spinning. If there is no spinning in the sky, the severity of dizziness can be judged. If there is only weakness, the body is usually slightly weak due to the cold, and Chinese medicine can apply some medicines to benefit the qi and relieve the symptoms, which can improve the dizziness. Generally, dizziness can be reduced after the symptoms of cold disappear. If it is accompanied by a feeling of spinning, you can also do the corresponding treatment for peripheral vertigo, such as the application of betahistine hydrochloride.
