Clearance
Common cold is caused by a viral infection that affects the nose and upper respiratory tracts and causes a variety of viruses. It usually takes seven to ten days to heal, but it may take longer for the symptoms to disappear in smokers. It can affect healthy adults two to three times a year, but children under the age of six years are the most vulnerable to infection.
Treatment of leaching
Pharmacological treatments
A range of non-prescription pharmaceutical treatments can be used, including:
- Painkillers: Some species act as analgesics, as well as antihypertensive drugs, such as paracetamol and ibuprofen. However, their use together is not necessary and is not safe for children to use. Aspirin is thought to help relieve symptoms of leukemia, although there is no recommended use for aspirin. It is important to know that aspirin can not be used for children under 16 years of age.
- Anticonvulsants (Decongestants): These drugs help breathe by relieving congestion and swelling in the nose, but they are effective when used for a short period only; use them for more than a week may increase the congestion of the nose worse. It can be used by mouth, or directly to the nose in the form of drops or nasal sprays. It should be noted that the use of children under the age of six years is not recommended, and can not be used for children under the age of 12 years only with the consultation of a doctor or pharmacist.
- It is important to know that the use of certain drugs and treatments is not recommended for the treatment of the side effects because of its side effects and the lack of sufficient evidence of its effectiveness, such as antihistamines, cough medicines, and antibiotics – In the face of bacterial infections only, while the infiltration is considered to be non-bacterial, complementary and alternative medicine, such as Echinacea and Chinese herbal medicines.
Non-pharmacological treatments
- Convenience and fluid intake: The body needs comfort and plenty of fluids to be able to resist the virus, and getting fluids is necessary so that the body can compensate for what is lost in the production of nasal secretions that increase during the period of leaching.
- Eating foods that help cure: Examples of substances that help to relieve coughs and sore throat are eating ginger and drinking it after cutting it into small slices and putting it in hot water for a few minutes. Using honey and adding it to tea, and eating salty soups such as chicken soup, also helps. Caffeine-containing substances such as coffee should be avoided. Caffeine may interfere with and interfere with some medications and treatments, and may increase the risk of fluid loss from the body.
- Use Probiotics (Probiotics): The beneficial bacteria found in the gastrointestinal tract have a significant effect on overall body health. Some studies have found that the greater the concentration of beneficial bacteria in the digestive tract, the easier it is to control diseases. Therefore, the use of dietary supplements containing these yeast, in addition to the intake of large amounts of milk may reduce the severity of symptoms and reduce the likelihood of infection in the future.
- Using gargle with salt water and candies containing menthol (Menthol) .
- Massage using special materials: The chest and back massage helps children breathe better, but they should not be used close to the nose openings. They can cause irritation, which can lead to difficulty in breathing.
- Use drops of water and salt in the nose: As it can help remove nasal obstruction in children.
- Use dietary supplements containing some of the vitamins and minerals: Such as those containing zinc metal. There is some evidence to suggest that use during the first day of leaching may help accelerate healing and reduce symptoms. For supplements containing vitamin C, the evidence is of little use if used at the start of a leak.
