Bathing is permissible if the symptoms of a cold are mild, but it is not recommended if the mental state is poor or if there is a high fever. During the course of a cold, if the symptoms are mild and the mental state is still good, you can take a bath. When you take a bath, the heat on the surface of the body is gradually lost with the water, which has a certain effect on reducing fever in people with low fever symptoms. At the same time, more sweat is discharged, which can also promote the metabolism of body fluids, which is helpful for the recovery of colds. However, if there is a high fever, i.e., a fever of 38.5 ℃ or more, or a poor mental state, accompanied by weakness, headache and other manifestations, it is not recommended to take a bath. At this time there may be a fall during bathing, resulting in a higher risk of trauma. And if you get cold again in the course of a cold, it will aggravate the symptoms of the cold.
