Drink more water to treat colds?

Drinking more water for a cold is good.

1, accelerate metabolism, increase urine output and accelerate toxin excretion.

2. For people with fever symptoms, drink plenty of water, which can dissipate heat through the evaporation of sweat or the excretion of urine, so as to lower the body temperature and help relieve fever symptoms.

3, supplement the water consumption caused by vomiting and diarrhea, which is conducive to physical recovery.

4. Keep the oral cavity and nasal mucosa moist, prevent the invasion of cold germs to some extent, and relieve the uncomfortable symptoms caused by colds.

5. Reduce the damage of antipyretics to liver and kidney. Febrile drugs such as ibuprofen are mainly metabolized in the liver, and 60%~90% are excreted with urine through the kidney. At this time, drinking more water can accelerate the excretion of drugs, reduce the burden on liver and kidney, and achieve the effect of "diluting" drug toxicity.
