At one time or another, patients have blamed almost all discomforts of the head and neck on "Sinus". However, the term "Sinus" means a bony cavity next to the nasal passageway and its medical usage should be reserved for conditions involving this structure. It is a location not a medical condition. A "Cold" refers to an infection of the nose and throat. It is usually viral but may also be caused by a bacteria. Usually, patients with colds are febrile, have malaise (feels sick) and myalgias (sore muscles). Types of Over-The-Counter Medications List Of Over-The-Counter Medications Most often the common "Cold" is caused by a virus. If so, the best treatment is often fluids, rest, and supportive over-the-counter medications. T he problem with treating a "Cold" is it may not be a "Cold" at all. If symptoms do not improve in 5 to 7 days or if they worsen, a more serious condition may be present and reconsultation with a medical professional should be recommended. A simple sore or scratchy throat may be caused by a bacterial such as Group A Beta Hemolytic Streptococcus If not treated, it may lead to rheumatic fever (disease of the heart valve ). Because of the emerging problem with bacterial resistance to antibiotics, patients should not be treated indiscriminately.

Colds are the most common type of respiratory infection; they are usually mild illnesses that naturally come to an end and only occasionally lead to further problems.

PreventThe Flu .com Dr. Brasco's Practical Tips Advanced Hygiene Diet Supplementation Sleep Reducing Stress Five Simple Steps to Bolster Your Immune System To Help Prevent Colds and the Flu By Joseph Brasco M.D. Because many people are concerned about the upcoming flu season, I want to stress that a shortage of the flu vaccine does not mean a shortage of options that make it less likely to get a cold or even the flu. In my practice, I have had great success recommending a comprehensive approach that focuses on building a strong immune system. Adhering to the approach outlined below will not only help ward off the flu, but will be your foundation for improved overall optimal health. Bolstering Your Immune System in Five Simple Steps to Help Prevent Colds and the Flu The immune system defends the body against diseases and other harmful invaders, including bacteria and the flu virus. The body's ability to resist these invaders is called immunity. In my opinion, building one's immunity against all invaders is a much more comprehensive approach than the singularly focused flu vaccination and can be accomplished by following five easy steps: Advanced Hygiene

Related Links Why does my baby get so many colds? As your baby grows, he's likely to be exploring a lot and touching (and licking!) everything, so it's easy for him to pick up a cold virus on his hands. Then all he has to do is put his fingers in his nose or mouth or rub his eyes, and the virus will get a chance to set up shop in his nasal passages. Your baby may get sick more often during the fall and winter months because cold air and indoor heating dry out his nasal membranes, making it easier for a cold virus to get a foothold there. He also spends more time during cold weather cooped up indoors, where viruses are more likely to spread from one person to another. And recent studies have confirmed what working parents already know: Children in daycare get more colds, ear infections, runny noses, and other respiratory troubles than kids cared for at home. Even if he's not around lots of other children, your child is likely to get between four and ten colds in his first year. As he gets older, the number of colds he gets will diminish, dwindling to about three a year in the teen years.

72. The Common Cold, NIAID Fact Sheets Children have about 6 to 10 colds a year. One important reason why colds are socommon in children is because they are often in close contact with each http://www.niaid.nih.gov/factsheets/cold.htm

December 2004 The Common Cold OVERVIEW Sneezing, scratchy throat, runny nose-everyone knows the first signs of a cold, probably the most common illness known. Although the common cold is usually mild, with symptoms lasting 1 to 2 weeks, it is a leading cause of doctor visits and missed days from school and work. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 22 million school days are lost annually in the United States due to the common cold. In the course of a year, people in the United States suffer 1 billion colds, according to some estimates. Children have about 6 to 10 colds a year. One important reason why colds are so common in children is because they are often in close contact with each other in daycare centers and schools. In families with children in school, the number of colds per child can be as high as 12 a year. Adults average about 2 to 4 colds a year, although the range varies widely. Women, especially those aged 20 to 30 years, have more colds than men, possibly because of their closer contact with children. On average, people older than 60 have fewer than one cold a year. CAUSES The Viruses More than 200 different viruses are known to cause the symptoms of the common cold. Some, such as the rhinoviruses, seldom produce serious illnesses. Others, such as parainfluenza and respiratory syncytial virus, produce mild infections in adults but can precipitate severe lower respiratory infections in young children.

Quackwatch Home Page Vitamin C: Do High Doses Prevent Colds? Charles W. Marshall, Ph.D. (Edited by Stephen Barrett, M.D) Few things have stirred the imagination and hopes of the public in matters of nutrition or vexed nutrition scientists as much as Linus Pauling's 1970 book, Vitamin C and the Common Cold. [1] The book's main claim was that taking 1 gram (1,000 mg) of vitamin C daily would reduce the incidence of colds by 45% for most people, but that some persons might need much larger amounts. It recommended that if symptoms of a cold do start, you should take 500 or 1,000 mg every hour for several hours or 4 to 10 grams daily if symptoms don't disappear with smaller amounts. Without question, publication of this book, combined with Pauling's reputation as a Nobel Prize-winning scientist, has made vitamin C a best seller. When his theory was announced, millions of Americans rushed to try it for themselves. The second edition of the book, issued in 1976 as Vitamin C, the Common Cold and the Flu, suggested even higher dosages [2].

Help them do better in school! Visit my other site gameboylearning.com! Treating colds naturally The cold is the most common infectious disease in the United States. The cold accounts for more absences from work and school than any other illness. It is the #1 cause of patient visits to doctors. It is not easy to catch a cold. Your body's immune defenses usually fight off these viruses. There is a direct correlation between the amount of time spent in contact with an infected person and your risk of catching a cold. This is why familie members tend to get colds together. In most cases , something called a "rhinovirus" is the cause of the common cold, while a variety of other viruses are responsible for the remaining cases of the cold. However, bacterial infections are rarely the cause of upper respiratory symptoms so antibiotics won't help most colds. Almost all cases of the common cold are caused by VIRUSES, and antibiotics do not work against viral infections. In spite of this fact, an amazing 60% of colds are treated with antibiotics. Researchers found that 60% of parents wrongly believe that some colds are caused by bacteria and nearly 50% mistakenly believe that things such as colds, green mucous and bronchitis should be treated with antibiotics.(1) Colds are actually caused by VIRUSES, and antibiotics and antibacterial lotions have no effect on them.

A proactive approach to warding off colds and flu is apt to make your whole life healthier. The most effective way to prevent flu, frankly, is to get the flu shot. It may not be natural, but it works better than anything else. But there are other strategies you can employ as well. WebMD went to Charles B. Inlander, president of The People's Medical Society, for suggestions you may want to try: #1 Wash Your Hands Most cold and flu viruses are spread by direct contact. Someone who has the flu sneezes onto their hand, and then touches the telephone, the keyboard, a kitchen glass. The germs can live for hours in some cases weeks only to be picked up by the next person who touches the same object. So wash your hands often. If no sink is available, rub your hands together very hard for a minute or so. That also helps break up most of the cold germs. #2 Don't Cover Your Sneezes and Coughs With Your Hands Because germs and viruses cling to your bare hands, muffling coughs and sneezes with your hands results in passing along your germs to others. When you feel a sneeze or cough coming, use a tissue, then throw it away immediately. If you don't have a tissue, turn your head away from people near you and cough into the air.

80. Colds: How To Know...What To Do...When Mystery, confusion, and uncertainty about colds and their treatment abound. colds, like people, are common, but far from simple, and widely different. http://medicalreporter.health.org/tmr1096/carstensen.html

Colds: How to Know...What to do...When by E.J. "Skip" Carstensen, M.D. Cold season lies at the tips of our noses. Rhinoviruses ("nose viruses") skulk on the tips of our fingers, awaiting their chance to make mucous membrane mischief. Rub your eye or touch your nose and they have your nose "off and running." Mystery, confusion, and uncertainty about colds and their treatment abound. But one fact is indisputable: the number of touted cold "remedies" matches the number of cold viruses. Unfortunately, none fit like lock & key to cure, prevent or even speed healing of the 'common' cold. A cold seems to last a week without treatment and seven days with treatment. "If we can send a man to the moon, why can't we cure the common cold?" is the oft-heard indictment of the health sciences. Pithy comment but faulty logic. The logic assumes, "To be common is to be simple." Colds, like people, are common, but far from simple, and widely different. Rhinoviruses, the primary "cold-causers," are typical of all viruses they are not capable of having a life of their own. To make us sick, they must invade, dwell in, and commandeer our cellular machinery. This viral-cellular intimacy makes antibiotics counterproductive. We and the unwelcome virus are so entwined, that if antibiotics killed the virus, they'd also kill our cells. Doubly shrewd, the large numbers and wide variability of these DNA villains make vaccines prohibitively costly.
