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.
