Over the Counter Cold Treatments
| |
By: Jillan Rowbotham,D.O., Board Certified Physician
at the Rittenhouse Women's Wellness Center
 It is never a good time to get sick but unfortunately the cold and flu season is once again squarely upon us. The common cold lasts an average of seven to ten days and typically starts with a sore throat and possibly low grade fever, then progresses to nasal and sinus congestion. Finally, a cough, sometimes productive of mucus, is usually the last symptom to develop and the last to resolve. There is not yet a cure for the common cold and antibiotics not only won't help but increase the risk of allergic reactions, side effects, and development of resistant bacteria. Plenty of rest and fluids are the mainstays of treatment, but there are also many medicines available over-the-counter that can help make things more manageable - the key is choosing the correct medications for the symptoms you are experiencing.

Simple visual cues can serve as a reminder to keep fitness a priority. Try placing your gym clothes next to your bed or weights close to your door. Read more for motivation! |
