Prevention and treatment of colds

surely, when hearing the words “cold prevention,” everyone will immediately mentally hear grandmother’s voice: “Put on your hat!”, “Don’t step in a puddle,” “Don’t sit in a draft,” “Ventilate the room,” and “Wash your hands!” Let’s be honest: grandma was absolutely right!And the value of all her advice, based on life experience close to infinity, can be confirmed on a strict scientific basis.

So, a cold. Everyone knows a lot of ways to “catch” it, and it occurs for everyone in an “individual mode.” There is, however, a common feature: it is caused by viruses that mercilessly “attack” our body, and not only in their favorite autumn-winter period, but all year round. And our own immune system opposes them. This means that the outcome of the “battle” depends primarily on how the “defense” is built. Actually, all preventive measures are aimed at maintaining this natural defense line in order.

At “lower temperatures,” the immune system copes much worse with its direct functions, and that is why we catch a cold as a result of hypothermia. So, putting on a hat and keeping your feet warm is really necessary. And do not sit in a draft, which literally “blows away” the “thermal shell” from the body.

The “success” of attacking viruses is directly proportional to their concentration in the space around us. Hence the need for regular ventilation of work, educational and home spaces. Fresh air does not allow a “critical mass” to gather.

But, of course, you need to replenish your lungs with fresh air not only during ventilation. Less TV and computer, more movement and walking. And also vitamins and hardening procedures.

Colds – including the “disease of dirty hands”. Hence the need to wash them not only before eating, but also throughout the day. And, of course, regular wet cleaning. Especially if there are already sick people in the house.

But what to do if you still didn’t “listen to your grandmother” somewhere and caught a cold? Not only her “folk recipes,” but also modern antiviral drugs will come to your aid. For example, an innovative drug Ergoferon , which has a complex effect. The product has antiviral activity, eliminating the very cause of the disease, helps reduce cold symptoms and activates the body’s own “defensive resources”. The drug can also be used as a prophylactic agent.
