| Avoid Antibiotics in Cold and Flu |
The people generally become careless
in winter and get afflicted with several diseases like cold and flu. To avoid
these winter ailments we have to be extra careful about dress code and eating
habits.
The blood pressure gets reduced in
winter and the asthmatic people suffer the most.
The following precautions should be taken
about the stalking cold weather.
Wash the hand as many times as
possible. Avoid touching the face with your own hands.
Don’t touch or shake hands with the
person suffering from cold. Avoid touching the virus infected door handles.
Make it a habit to take vitamin C
daily, as it strengthens the immune system and aids in recovery. This vitamin is
water soluble and its presence in body needs to be replenished.
Avoid stress and tension as it
reduces the disease fighting capabilities of the body.
Exercise daily for half an hour to
get strength to fight with cold and flu.
Cold and Flu
There is a little difference between
cold and flu as the latter comes violently and is more painful. Both cold and
flu occur due to virus and thus cannot be cured by antibiotics. The symptoms of
flu include severe pain in legs, feeling of high fever and tiredness. It is
more contagious and viral than cold.
The best course in flu is to take
enough rest, go for liquid diet and avoid exercises.
First of all the throat pain and
infection occurs before cold and flu. During this time it is better to take
tea, coffee honey and warm lemon water.
The gurgles of warm water containing
little salt after every half an hour give relief in pain and restlessness.
After recovery, the feeling of
running or choked nose persists for some time.
