Do you have to get fluids and shots for a cold?

After a night shift, Ms. Lin fell ill with a headache, tearfulness, and a sore throat, and asked the doctor to give her fluids directly at the doctor’s office, arguing that she would get better faster. In the blood test results are not high and Ms. Lin has no other underlying diseases, Henan Provincial People’s Hospital Respiratory Deputy Chief Physician Qi Yong suggested that she should not be given fluids, and that she should just be treated with symptomatic medication. In the face of the doctor’s advice, she still strongly requested an infusion. Director Qi Yong said, in the clinic, like Ms. Lin such a patient is very much, as long as the first disease is thought to be able to immediately get well, in fact, the development of the disease process is a parabola, it has to go through the highest end of the slow fall, the disease will slowly get better. As a self-limiting disease of the cold, is through the infusion of this way, in fact, and through the oral medication to play the same effect, are to relieve the symptoms, the cold to be really good, or to go through the 5 to 7 days of time. Most spring colds are viral common colds, and it is not necessary to add antibacterial drugs to the common cold medicine. Antimicrobials should only be used if your blood count is high and your doctor recommends it.
