How to deal with chronic colds?

Colds, generally speaking, are not serious illnesses. However, if one suffers from frequent colds with recurring symptoms, it can significantly affect the patient and severely impact their quality of life. So, what should be done? Typically, if one frequently catches colds, it indicates that the patient's immune system is relatively weak. Therefore, it is recommended to regularly exercise, engage in physical activities, and spend time outdoors to boost immunity and enhance the body's adaptability. Additionally, with seasonal changes, it is important to change clothing promptly to avoid getting cold. Regular rest and maintaining a healthy lifestyle are crucial; avoid smoking and drinking.
