Effective Ways to Tackle the Common Cold
With the arrival of cold season, many of us will face the inconvenience of the common cold?"an upper respiratory infection caused by over 200 viruses. Luckily, there are numerous ways to find relief from those pesky symptoms like sinus pressure, nasal congestion, headaches, body aches, and sometimes a fever or cough.
Understanding the Spread
On average, adults catch two to four colds annually, totaling about one billion cases nationwide. Contrary to popular belief, cold weather isn't a direct cause. Instead, spending more time indoors facilitates virus spread. Sneezing, nose-blowing, and touching contaminated surfaces are primary ways the virus spreads.
Over-the-Counter Relief
For those seeking quick relief, over-the-counter (OTC) medications are available. One effective option is Aleve Cold & Sinus, providing 12-hour relief from headaches, body aches, fever, nasal congestion, and sinus pressure. The American College of Chest Physicians (ACCP) suggests that naproxen, an active ingredient in Aleve, can be more effective for cold-induced coughs than many common cough syrups.
Addressing Sinus Headaches
If a cold leads to congested sinuses, it may result in painful sinus headaches. Symptoms include pain or pressure around the eyes, cheeks, and forehead, with tenderness and discomfort when bending over. Aleve Sinus & Headache contains an extended-release decongestant that reduces sinus pressure for up to 12 hours.
Additional Remedies
Beyond medication, consider these remedies:
- Get Plenty of Rest: Give your body the time it needs to recover.
- Stay Hydrated: Drink plenty of fluids to stay hydrated.
- Avoid Alcohol: Alcohol can dehydrate you further.
- Gargle with Warm Water: Soothe a sore throat with warm salt water gargles.
Real-Life Endorsement
Marty Heggs, a registered nurse from Loveland, Colo., shares, "I'm constantly exposed to germs during my shifts. Aleve Cold & Sinus lets me continue helping others through my 12-hour shifts. I recommend it to my co-workers and patients."
