There are so may ways of treating colds or allergic rhinitis. Sometimes colds is due to allergies that we get from the air we breath, the surroundings and at home, even at work. So it is important to take some anti-histamine capsules or tablets as per doctors order. Do not try to blow your nose too often and refrain from blowing with one nose closed. Instead blow your nose with both nostrils open to avoid the phlegm from going into your ears, which may cause further infection. Gargle with luke warm water with vinegar and salt to help soothe your throat. Take some vitamin riched fruits and juices to help boost up your body's immune system. With doctors prescription, cough syrups and expectorants can ease up the coughing. Take some paracetamol if your colds is accompanied by fever. Drink plenty of water to flush out your phlegms. Take a couple of vitamin C tablets, and eat a balanced diet. Avoid some irritating foods like spicy and chili sauces and gravy. have enough rest and sleep to let your body recuperate and fight infection faster, this way you can channel all the bodies energy to boost up your immune system. i hope those simple things can help you ease up your colds. Happy mylotting.
