A runny nose, sore throat, cough, raised body temperature - these are the symptoms of a cold. Although they disappear after a few days, they are bothersome and often deprive us of energy and well-being.
Sleep
Nothing works as well as a warm blanket and a restful night's sleep. Resting supports our body as it fights infection. Don't burden it with extra effort.
Eating fruit and vegetables
There are plenty of vitamins in both vegetables and fruit that are essential for the body to function properly. A delicious soup made from vegetables or some fruit for dessert will certainly help us when we are ill.
A visit to the pharmacy
There are many over-the-counter remedies for colds. It is a good idea to use them to help fight the illness, while keeping a healthy mind of course. Sore throat tablets, antipyretics, cough drops and nasal decongestants are advisable, especially when symptoms are severe, last for several days and are not helped by home remedies.
A cold is not the end of the world, but it should not be underestimated as it can cause serious complications such as pneumonia, ear infections or tracheitis.

Taking a lot of medicines and doing everyday chores at all costs will not help us cure a cold. It is necessary to allow the body to fight the infection calmly .
During the autumn period, to reduce the risk of falling ill, dress appropriately for the weather, avoid large gatherings of people and maintain personal hygiene (especially in public places).
