so in the current rainy season. then it suddenly gets hot, when our immune system is weak, we catch a cold quickly. because a cold is the most common disease of a person and it can easily be contagious. It is called common cold
Why do we get sick?
Our nose normally produces mucus. When a virus is inhaled or ingested, the lining inside the nose becomes inflamed. The nose will produce too much mucus and this is called a cold. This is the body's allergic reaction that occurs to fight the virus.
Anyone is susceptible to colds especially those with weak immunity. The cold virus is easy to transfer and spread. Even through hands and objects that are touched can be infected and catch a cold. Viruses that cause colds can also be airborne from the sneezes of a person with a cold.
There are many other reasons why we catch a cold but the most common of all is the result of an infection caused by a cold virus.
Besides the virus, there are allergens such as pollen from plants and dust in the air that can cause the same reaction. A cold caused by allergens is an allergic reaction called allergic rhinitis.
If you notice, the cold gets better on its own. Within 7-10 days the cold disappears even without treatment. For others who don't want the cold to last 10 days, they take medicine or follow some home remedies that are also effective in relieving the feeling.
These are the home remedies that we can take to get rid of colds quickly:
1. Drinking ginger tea.
2. Drinking green tea with natural honey.
3. Inhaling the steam of boiled water infused with eucalyptus while covered with a towel.
Here are some more reminders:
1. Avoid taboos and keep strengthening the immune system.
2. Relax and avoid stress because stress can easily lower immunity.
3. Drink water often.
4. Don't get drunk. Drinking alcohol is dehydrating.
5. Stop smoking.
6. Don't stay up late. Go to bed at bedtime and complete the sleep time of at least 7 hours.
