Answer 1

Daily oil bath and head bath are not necessary, however they are also not contraindicated. Hot water bath helps to improve circulation and prevents hypothermia. Though ayurvedic medicine does give restriction of milk in respiratory infections, there is no evidence on the same and allopathic medicine still does not recommend any food restrictions in respiratory infections.
