A common cold can be annoying, but it usually clears on its own. While there’s no cure, you can definitely make yourself more comfortable.
Helpful symptom relief:
• Rest as much as you can
• Stay hydrated
• Keep warm
• Eat a healthy diet
• Use saline nasal sprays or decongestants
• Try throat lozenges for sore throats
• Paracetamol or ibuprofen for fever or aches
Remember: good hygiene protects your family and community. Wash your hands regularly and cover coughs and sneezes.
