Do you often have a cold? A cold is a common illness(疾病) that starts with a sore throat and a headache. It isn't serious, but you can feel very bad.
What should you do when you have a cold? You should have a good rest first. It's good to drink a lot of water, too. Besides, you can see a doctor and take some medicine. Maybe you can also try some Chinese medicine that is now very popular around the world. There is a survey among 1,500 students about their ways to deal with the illness.
What should you do to stop a cold? One important way is to exercise more often. Running, swimming or even walking can help a lot. Try to exercise for at least 30 minutes a day. It's also important to go to bed early. Studies show that the cold or the flu virus (流感病毒) can live on your hands for a long time. So you should wash your hands with soap. Finally, it's important to have a balanced diet(均衡饮食). If you can do these, you will hardly ever catch a cold again.
