With an especially severe winter season this year, most of us suffer from severe cold and cough with a heavy running nose and persistent cough. Some of us may complain that even after 7 days, in spite of taking medicine, cold is still persisting!
The most probable reason might be that in spite of taking medicine, the cold is cured only partly and the balance remains!
- The current switchboards, door handles, other family members, cups/glasses of coffee taken by cold-affected persons, TV remote, water-tap handles, towels, multiple toothbrushes kept in a single receptacle may all be the agents to spread cold! They may even serve to intensify the existing cold! So, watch out!
- There are several kinds of viruses capable of creating and spreading cold complaint. They may be the cause.
- Some kind of allergy may also be the reason! So, it is better to find out the reason for the allergy and then find the cure.
- Another possibility may be the germs which lead to being affected by the cold.
- Check with the doctor if there is asthma or anything wrong with the breathing lines/pipes.
- Medical check-up and treatment is mandatory for complaints like pneumonia.
- Take note and be warned about any problems of acidity, stomach unrest, frequent belching, etc.
- If the cough is highly persistent and severe, please check whether TB has affected.
- There might be a deficiency in the system of body resistance to diseases. Consult with a doctor and take the prescribed medicines/tablets.
