Quick treatment at the first sign of a cold

Cold is a common malaise, especially in the cold season. It can arise both in an adult and in a child. Symptoms of a cold infection are similar to those of influenza, angina and other infections, however, are less pronounced. It is necessary to treat a cold immediately, as soon as its first signs appeared, otherwise an innocuous infection in the beginning can turn into a serious complication.

In the article, we will consider the peculiarities of treating colds in children and adults when the first symptoms appear.

Features

What are the characteristic features inherent in cold.

According to medical statistics, almost 90% of all people - both large and small - know by their experience what a cold infection is.

And the disease is so common, and no one is surprised that many people in winter perceive the symptoms of colds as inevitable, rarely who turns to the doctor about this.

But some still have to visit the clinic. This occurs when the cold has developed into a more serious complication.

Cold viruses enter the body by airborne droplets. In addition, they can leak and with direct physical contact - when kissing, using shared utensils, etc.

Symptoms of

How the disease manifests itself. The throat turns red, swells, perspiration appears in it, sometimes painful sensations. Feeling chill, limbs become cold. This is a clear sign of the onset of infection.

There is a general weakness in the body, sometimes - joint aches and pain in the muscles, the feeling that they "pull".Apathy and lethargy are also signs of the beginning of a cold.

Clonet in a dream. With such symptoms it is very difficult to concentrate on work, sometimes it's just impossible. The best way with such symptoms is to take time off from work, and go home to be treated. Otherwise, you can not only suffer yourself, but still infect half the team.

The head may also be sore. A characteristic sign that the cold begins - a tickling sensation in the nose. This indicates that the infection has penetrated the body. It's time to take action.

Temperature

Let's talk about the "relationship" of cold and temperature.

Many believe that a cold should necessarily be accompanied by a high fever. However, this is not an obligatory sign. The temperature will appear only when the viruses are already quite strongly attacking. And at the very beginning of the disease, no temperature may yet be there. However, already at this stage it is necessary to start a fight, so that the heat does not arise in principle.

Colds without temperature at the very beginning are more common in adults. As for children, it is not peculiar to them. The children's organism is more vulnerable, but at the same time it has better adaptability, so it immediately reacts violently to the introduction of the infection. This manifests itself, in part, and the rising temperature. Therefore, it is difficult to miss a child's cold, do not pay attention.

Aspirin or paracetamol can be taken as a temperature. These are inexpensive and quite effective medicines. They, as a rule, are in any home medicine cabinet.

To strengthen immunity, it is good to use homeopathic remedies. For example, such as:

Advice: when treating a cold at the very beginning of the disease, it is better to refrain from strong antipyretic drugs, and even more so, from antibiotics. Take these drugs only if necessary - in the case of temperatures above 38 degrees and the onset of inflammation. At the beginning of malaise, these symptoms do not happen.

Cold in children

Consider the features of the symptoms and treatment of colds in children.

In infants at the onset of a common cold, the following are common symptoms:

• Cough, sometimes quite severe.
• Rhinitis, which also delivers to children and parents a lot of trouble.
• Children's common cold differs from adults in that in this case the temperature rises immediately, often at the same time it is quite high.

Due to the fact that the temperature rises immediately, it can be difficult to distinguish a child's cold from flu or another infection - viral or bacterial. Therefore, in case of a child's illness, it is always advisable to call a doctor, otherwise self-employed treatment can go along the wrong channel. For example, you will give your baby antiviral drugs when he actually has a bacterial infection, and antibiotics are required.

Children's colds are characterized by pronounced symptoms that occur dramatically and immediately. In the morning the child can safely go to the kindergarten safely, and by the evening you will take him from there already with a temperature.

As with the treatment of an adult cold, children are also given antiviral drugs at the beginning. The child is better suited and have a milder effect of antiviral immunomodulators like Anaferon.

The fact that the common cold develops so drastically requires constant monitoring of the baby's condition. The temperature can rise even higher if it is not reduced, and in the case of a bacterial infection, severe otitis media, pneumonia or sinusitis can be complications.

If the temperature is less than 38 degrees, it is not recommended to shoot it artificially. The fact is that up to the boundary mark of 38 degrees the body does not need help, it must tighten its reserves and, possibly, will independently defeat the infection. And if we interfere with the natural course of events and take antipyretics, we relax our body. The next time he can not already turn on the defense, hoping for external help.
