About the pool and there is nothing to say: after any water procedures, I will shoot half an hour before going to the road.
The immediate culprit of the cold - pathogenic bacteria, for the time being, calmly living in the nose, throat and bronchi each of us.

Of course, an increase in body temperature, cough, a runny nose, the lack of appetite is still the pleasure, but it is with the help of them our body struggles against Diseases.
Therefore, having fluttering, you should not:
- Shoot down the temperature (if it does not rise above 38-38.5);
- Taking vasoconstrictor drops against a cold;
- Drink preparations inhibiting cough.
Why you need to do this exactly, and not otherwise?
With increasing body temperature, our organism produces interferon - a special protein that is equally good and against bacteria, and against viruses. And, the higher the temperature - the more interferon. Got down the temperature, barely managed to rise - interferon was not enough. You will hurt much longer until the immune system finds other ways to confront the infection.
Do not overdo it. If the mark on the thermometer rose to 38, or if you feel very badly and at 37.5 - reduce the temperature.
How to reduce body temperature?
More drink. Everyone knows: Temperature will fall as soon as we risch well, and abundant drink contributes to sweating. Herbs, a variety of compats and frosts, and the most ordinary water are suitable as beverages, and the most common water, so that they are neither cold, nor too hot. The closer the temperature of the drink to the body temperature, the better - will work faster.
Brilliant raspberry effect. Also honey, especially lime. Dissolve a tablespoon of honey in a glass of tea or milk and go to bed, covering warmer - waking up the next morning, you do not remember the cold. Only before applying the cooral tools, take care that the body is what to sweat: penetrate the same compote or mess. By the way, a wonderful anti-inflammatory and antipyretic action has a cranberry juice.
The temperature decreases and when heating the inhaled air, so you follow the room in the room it is cool and fresh. Get dull and open the window, - believe me, you will almost immediately feel relief.
If the heat does not fall, take a paracetamol tablet, but remember that the effect will be lower if you drink not enough liquid or if the room is too warm.
Rubber with cold
Rubber, one more way to combat the cold. Symptom, as a rule, viral disease, so that when there is no cold, it may not be. Rubber hinders infections to penetrate further - in the throat, into the lungs, and the mucus itself contains special antiviral substances.
They say, Treatment of runny nose passes a week, and not treated - in seven days. Therefore, since you have been treated to catch a cold, now it is important not to allow mucus to dry. For moisturizing the nasal moves, various kinds of physiological solutions (drops of aquamaris, sain and others) are perfectly suitable, and the usual boiled water with a small addition of salt will be combined. Other treatment options Rubbly - Sea buckthorn oil or rosehip, mentho oil or pinsol. From folk remedies - onion juice, diluted with boiled water in proportion 1: 4.
Everything! Vesseloring drops (Nazivin, Sanorin, Nazol) do not apply. Ultimately, they only worsen the case. Rubber will pass by itself.

To get rid of cough during a cold, you can graze the chest with bearish fat or pork lard and wrap hever. Also a good iodium mesh or a bag with preheated oats or salt, laid on the chest.
Inhalation - Another proven remedy that enhances the debit of sputum, thereby improving a cold. You can use a special inhaler or just ride, covered with a blanket, above saucepan with a brewed chamomile, mint or chamber. Useful and simply drinking mother-and-stepmother and chamomile.
Treat the cold, not postponing and not being deceived by her apparent harmability. The cold, which began as a result of the weakening of immunity, does not contribute to the strengthening of the body. Remember: Against the backdrop of a cold pick up the influenza virus Easier easy.
