It is
that time again. The dreaded time of cold and allergies. You wonder to yourself
why is this happening to me, and is there anyway to stop it. The answer to
that question is very simple, there isn’t a cure to the bothersome sickness we know as a cold. although there is no cure, there are ways to prevent this viral dieseas.
First,”
A cold is a contagious viral disease that causes sneezing and sniffles’ “(Dr
Hanne Korsholm). A cold
is a contagious viral disease that infects the soft lining (mucous membrane) of
the nose (Steven Doerr).You are probably very familiar with it but do you know how you
receive the icky sickness?”Cold viruses are passed through the air, and coming
into direct contact with a sick person, is the most common form of transmission”
(Steven Doerr). To attempt to protect yourself
from this sickness try to not touch your face, and wash and sanitize your hands
constantly.
Secondly,
Sneezing, sniffling and coughing are just some of the many things you can recieve
from a cold. “Runny nose, sneezing, sore throat, and fever
are the most common problems that you get with a cold” (kids health). The cold
usually lasts from 3-8 days normal cases. (Steven Doerr).
Lastly, the
cold is caught about 3 times a year. Scientists think that Corona viruses cause
most of the adult colds. These viruses mostly come around in the winter and
early spring. There are about 30 corona viruses and only 3 or 4 cause harm to
humans. (Causes of common co (Cold and Flu Symptoms, 2012)ld, 2009). The
cold is and pain to catch but it goes way quickly. To stay healthy wash your
hands, and don’t touch your face. There
are many different viruses that can cause cold symptoms, but about half of the
time a cold is caused by a class of viruses called rhino-viruses. (Dr Hanne
Korsholm)The common cold usually causes a runny nose, nasal congestion, and
sneezing. (Cold and flu heath center) You may also have a sore throat, cough,
headache, or other symptoms. There's
no cure for the common cold. But there are cold remedies that claim to make you
feel better faster. Chicken soup may be soothing because of its possible
anti-inflammatory and mucus-thinning effects.(Staff)
Overall, i know that nobody hopes and wishes they will catch a cold, but you still get on average of three times a year . it is best to take caution and keep sanitized. wash your hands and sanitize often to attempt to prevent the cold. This viral disease is bothersome but wont always knock you off your feet. Take precautions to try not to get the icky cold, and stay healthy.
