My point of view, no scientific evidence, practical insights, do not like light spray.

There are generally two types of colds, one is a windy cold that does not debilitate a person, mostly in the summer. The other is a viral cold that makes people weak and puts them down. I like to use Contac to alleviate the symptoms of wind-heat colds, wind-heat colds are not deficient, the spirit of the head is still good, life does not have a great impact on sweating for three days will be fine. Viral colds are mostly in winter, the virus first erodes the respiratory system, breaks through the mucous membrane of the respiratory tract and enters the respiratory tract tissues, at which time the patient does not have obvious symptoms, but only feels uncomfortable. The next step in the respiratory tract tissue cell damage, bacteria on the scene, the formation of inflammation, ooze, swelling. Cold symptoms all come, it is already too late, colds do real, to control inflammation, control fever, you have to use antibiotics, small children with poor physical condition, high fever does not go down when you have to use hormones to reduce the fever, if frequent colds, every time is antibiotics, hormones, the children's body is very harmful.

The way I deal with viral colds is to protect the respiratory mucosa at the beginning of the cold and try to prevent the respiratory tract tissue from breaking down and forming bacterial inflammation, by eating some vitamin C-rich fruits immediately, such as tangerines and oranges, and my family always keeps a kind of nutrients called spirulina tablets, a kind of natural seaweed products, spirulina tablets are available in hospitals and pharmacies, which are inexpensive, but they are miraculous for the initial colds and are even better than the vitamin C-containing fruits. Fruits are even better. That is, if you take spirulina and vitamin C right away at the beginning of a cold, you will often protect the mucous membranes, so that the virus stops and does not develop anymore, or you will dissolve a serious winter flu into a light cold, if so, you will take some general cold medicine at the same time to relieve the symptoms. This way of eating is to take three days, spirulina in the morning and evening, fruit at will, cold medicine at will. Written here found that it seems to be advertising, but spirulina brand hundreds of I do not say what brand, eat what brand can be.

This avoids the need for IVs and hormone pills, and there is basically no delay in study and work, and there are no high hospitalization costs, but if you don't eat in time and get a bad cold, then you should hurry to the hospital to cure it. Children who are too young to feel can't express their feelings in time, so they can't take timely measures. My child hasn't had to be hospitalized or put in a bottle at the clinic for a cold since he was 5 weeks old, that's the way it works. From personal experience, I'm not a doctor, just a little dad exploring ways to avoid colds in kids.

Colds are also divided into types, choose the wrong drug not only can not play a role in the treatment, but will aggravate the condition, so before using the drug we should first understand the scope of application of these drugs!

Patchouli Capsules - for the treatment ofGastrointestinal cold, whose symptoms are mostly dizziness, abdominal distension, vomiting and diarrhea. In addition, the drug can be used to treat colds and flu caused by internal dampness and stagnation, external wind-cold, and summer summer dampness;
