It should be noted right away that different people can catch a cold. And children, and the elderly, and patients with chronic diseases.
It's about a common cold like snot with a sore throat, cough and not too high a body temperature.
In principle, it is good to sleep at 18 degrees. At this air temperature in the bedroom, the patient's elevated body temperature decreases by itself. At normal body temperatures, people sleep better. They are not sausage, the liver does not shake.
Another factor intervenes here. If a person is initially strong, then in some cases he sleeps better at a slightly elevated body temperature. This happens with profuse liquid snot or an obsessive cough with a small amount of sputum.
From a slightly elevated body temperature, both snot and phlegm simply dry out.
Let's go further. Sick children, old people and any weakened people easily freeze at room temperature below 20 degrees. Old people can freeze to death at an air temperature of 10 degrees.
People with chronic lung disease are more ill at ambient temperatures below 21 degrees.
Now the humidity
For colds, most people feel better if the relative humidity in the room is above 40%.
It is usually dry at home during the cold season. Therefore, for those with a cold, they suggest using a humidifier or boiling something, or turning on a hot shower in the bathroom.
All this helps to increase the humidity. The humidity at home can be increased for no longer than a few days. Otherwise, mold will start to grow. That is, just at the time of a common cold.
In bronchial asthma, it usually gets worse if the humidity is below 30% or above 50%. The rest of the initially strong people without chronic diseases like to inhale waterlogged air or even hot steam during a cold.
Something like this... It seemed that everything is simple and understandable, then I began to remember, and now it all came out.
