What is a common cold?

If your daily rhythm including meal time and sleep time is disturbed, physiological balance of your body is also disturbed, and you will end up in catching common cold easily as your body cannot fight a disease successfully. You should avoid keeping late hours, drinking excessively or overworking yourselves and try to maintain your physical strength by keeping regular hours especially when common cold is going around.

Mechanism of common cold

As many as 200 viruses are considered to be involved in common cold. So-called common cold symptoms such as sore throat, running nose and stuffed nose begin when some of these viruses elicit inflammatory response after invading the upper respiratory tract including the nose and the throat. Further spread of the inflammation to the lower respiratory tract (bronchi) is sometimes accompanied with such symptoms as cough, sputa, fever, headache, joint pain, lassitude, abdominal pain and diarrhea. A causative virus spreads from one infected person to another through virus-laden droplets which are dispersed in the air by coughing, sneezing, conversation, etc.

The fundamental is not getting near a person with common cold. You should keep away from crowded places if you can, especially when common cold is going around. If you have had no choice but to get into a crowd, make sure to gargle your throat and wash your hands immediately after you get home.

Three fundamentals in the care of common cold

Care.1 Rest
Rest is the first thing to do in treating common cold. Never push yourself to work. Give a rest to your body. Lying down is surely the best, but you can choose to relax quietly in a room. Rest is also indispensable when you take OTC cold medicine. ÀTake medicine and take a rest” would be fundamental.

Care.2 Keeping warm
Chill or coldness can be a factor to worsen common cold. Make sure not to let your body get cool by keeping the whole room moderately warm, to say nothing of staying indoors as long as you can. You should change your underwear in a warm place if it gets moist with sweat.

Care.3 Nutrition
Eating nutritious food is also one of the fundamentals in treating common cold. However, you should avoid overeating or eating indigestible food because gastrointestinal function is poor when you have a cold. In addition, drink enough water to avoid dehydration due to sweating.
