Treatment of a cold

Everyone faced such a problem as a runny nose. It causes many inconveniences both to the patient and to others. The inflammatory process is accompanied by pain and continuous discharge. In some cases, the temperature may rise. Due to congestion of the nose, breathing becomes difficult and sleep is disturbed. As a result, a person does not get enough sleep and suffers from this even more.

Treatment of the common cold is often described in various printed publications. It can be carried out in traditional ways and resort to folk medicine.

Unfortunately, the smallest ones suffer from a runny nose - our children. For many parents this is not a cause for concern - and in vain. The child's body is still fragile enough and can not quickly overcome the virus. As a result, even a small sore can become a big problem if it is not cured in time. In particular, the common cold can cause nasopharynx. And, without applying for help to a doctor, you run the risk of rewarding your baby with a chronic illness.

Treatment of a cold in a baby is slightly different from that of an adult. Children should not be given many drugs. In addition, remember that numerous sprays do not treat, but only relieve swelling and facilitate breathing. There is also a risk of poisoning in case of an overdose. In this regard, it is useful to apply the knowledge and skills of our mothers and grandmothers.
