Every time the holiday season arrives, one has to prepare to buy the gifts, go to the parties and also find a way to avoid catching a cold.
The Health portal explains that an average adult can have three colds a year, says Dr. Jane Sadler, MD. So instead of asking you, is this cold going to knock me into a bed? Better, change the strategy. You have to think, what am I going to do to stop this cold?
The first recommendation that appears in Health is to drink a lot of liquid; be it juice or water. Being hydrated cuts symptoms of a sore throat, says Dr. William Shaffner. Meanwhile, the doctor Philip Hagen explains that gargling salt removes excess water from the tissues of the throat. Also, you can use saline water. Yes, saline water is even recommended by pediatricians to help children fight a cold, because it cleanses the nostrils.
One fact that the Health article emphasizes is that you do not let too much time go by when you feel the first symptoms. Search the pharmacy for medicines that can help you combat body discomfort, pain and a nasal allergy. It is always recommended that you consult with the pharmacist or your primary doctor which medicines are appropriate according to your symptoms. If you are one of those who like to take natural remedies, honey from the pot, that helps, said Dr. Harley Rotbar to the portal. Also, turn to grandmother's chicken soup. That is never too much and it is liquid.
