Frequent
Colds
by Dr. Rajesh Shah Definition:
Frequent cold which includes allergic cold, viral cold,
etc. is a major cause of human discomfort and loss of
human hours in the world. Colds being the most common of
the ailments that the humanity suffers from,
it is called common cold!
Remarks: Never
dangerous per se, common colds cause physical discomfort
with annoying symptoms such as running of the nose,
blocked nose, throat irritation, fever, congestive
headache, etc. with a tendency to develop chest congestion
in those who are prone to it. Exposure to cold temperate,
cold drinks-food, etc are known to precipitate the cold by
lowering the temperature of the respiratory passage,
encouraging the virus and bacteria to grow. Viruses of
different strains are the major cause. Allergic cold may
be due to pollen, dust, hay, etc. It is the body tendency
and sensitivity that makes one prone to frequent colds of
any nature. In that sense, common cold is not a local
disease of the nose but that of the whole system, the
immunological system.
Suggestion about homeopathic
treatment:
While treating patients who have frequent colds,
homoeopathy looks at it as a constitutional disease that
requiring wholesome treatment with an in-depth case study.
Homoeopathic treatment is extremely effective to treat
frequent attacks of colds in all age groups. Homoeopathy is
very strongly suggested for all sorts of colds and coryza. |
