Suffering a Cold or Flu Strengthen the immune system to minimise the misery of colds and flu.
 A
cold is a viral infection that can strike at any time. Many people
accept a regular attack as a fact of life. The nose, mouth and
throat may become infected and inflamed, causing swelling, leading to
symptoms such as a runny nose, sore throat, sneezing, watery eyes and a
headache.
The body’s immune system has the ability to detect and
destroy bacteria and viruses, so it is in our best interests to see
that it is functioning well. Regular exercise, a healthy dietand plenty of warm drinks can help; taking vitamin C is also thought to be beneficial. However, if you do catch a cold Echinaforce can
help relieve the symptoms.
Remember
that all colds and most coughs and sore throats are caused by viruses.
Antibiotics do not work against infections, such as colds, caused by
viruses. However if a cold lasts for more than three weeks, or you
become breathless or have chest pains, or already have a chest
complaint, see your doctor.
Symptoms include:
- Runny nose
- Sore throat
- Sneezing
- Fever
