It’s winter cold season and everyone around you including yourself is either sick with a cold or a flu bug. Being indoors, close working quarters, it’s very common to get infectious cold passed along person to person.
Apparently, there is no cure for common cold. Whether you have the common symptoms of runny nose, cough, fever, sore throat, body aches, headaches, its important to treat the cold before it leads to other infections like pneumonia, strep throat, asthma, bronchitis, etc.
Here are some tips to help you ease and get through the worst of it.
Drink lots of fluids to help hydrate the body. Avoid caffeinated and alcoholic drinks. Drink hot green, spice or even ginger teas. Don’t forget to add some honey for that extra boost!
Eat chicken soup. Maybe your grandmother was right all along. It’s comfort food that will boost your immunity system. Get some homemade chicken vegetable soup made with tons of garlic , carrots, rice and onions to help curb that loss of appetite.
Eat tons of citrus fruits such as oranges, apples, bananas and blueberries. Add some probiotic yoghourt to your fruit for that extra boost. Don't forget to take your vitamins too!
Take a relaxing hot steamy shower. It will moisturize and clear your nasal passages.
Just let the cold run its course and with plenty of rest, diet, hand washing (twice), and fresh air, this will keep the common cold at bay. If your symptoms get worst, do seek medical advice.
Get Well Soon!
