Health Tips
Rest, cold medicine help combat viruses
By Janet Krueger, M.D.
A.P. Beutel Health Center
Sniffles, coughs and colds caused by virus
es are common this time of year, and A.R Beu
tel Health Center officials said treatment of
virus symptoms can make a person feel better
until the virus is in submission.
Symptoms of head colds, sore throats,
aches and coughs may not start until a few
days after a person has been infected with
the virus.
The body responds to the virus, causing
symptoms such as muscle aches, fever,
throat pain, cough or congestion.
Therefore, treatment of these symptoms
can relieve pain while the virus runs its
usual course of three to five days.
Pain medications such as Tylenol or
ibuprofen help reduce throat pain, fever,
and head and body aches.
Decongestants such as Sudafed will dry
nasal drip and help stuffiness. Sudafed also
will help relieve sore throats if the cause of
the pain is post-nasal drip. Nasal sprays
also can help, but should not be used for
more than three days.
Sore throats also can be relieved by tak
ing throat lozenges, gargling three to four
times daily, or using a humidifier.
Because coughs are the body’s way to
clear airways, it is best not to suppress a
cough. A cough suppressant can help if
coughing is interfering with sleep or work.
Combining an antihistamine andade-
congestant can relieve virus symptoms,
It is important to drink plenty of liquids
and get as much rest as possible when
stricken with a virus. Eating balanced
meals and refraining from smoking also
will help speed recovery.
Extra vitamin C is not proven to shorten
a viral illness, but it may benefit someone
sick with a virus.
Antibiotics do not cure a viral illness.
However, they do cure secondary bacterial
infections that may occur with a cold.
If a cold lasts for longer than seven to
10 days, contact a physician about the
illness.
