The Natural Common Cold Prescriptions

Symptoms:

 

An infection in the upper respiratory tract caused by any of over 200 viruses that causes runny nose, fatigue, sore throat, nasal congestion, sneezing, mild fever, mild headache, watery eyes.

 

Root Causes:

 

·        Toxicity in the body

·        A deficient immune system

 

Medical Prescriptions:

 

Analgesics (Aspirin, Ibuprofen, Tylenol): These are anti-inflammatory and reduce fever and mild aches.  Side effects are rarely an issue unless higher doses or prolonged use are taken.  Common side effects are all of the digestive system problems.  These also deplete you of vitamin C, folic acid, B12, and Zinc.

 

Topical Nasal Decongestants (Afrin): These drugs constrict veins in your sinuses to improve drainage for a few minutes.  Potential side effects are burning, stinging, dryness, or irritation of the nose.  Major cautions will be dizziness, difficulty breathing, irregular heartbeat, and swelling of insides of nose.

 

Oral Decongestants (Sudafed): these work by drying the nasal and eye secretions for quick sinus relief.  These can overstimulate the nervous system and result in making it hard to sleep, headaches, nausea, and nervousness.  Caffeine must be avoided.  Major cautions are hallucinations, bloody diarrhea, and seizures.

 

Antihistamines (like Benadryl): These dry out the cells that produce mucus to reduce sneezing.  These drugs can cause vomiting, dizziness, headaches, and constipation.  Major cautions are insomnia, blurred vision, seizures, fainting spells, and irregular heartbeat.

 

Mucus Thinner (like Robitussin): Side effects aren’t common in typical doses.  Vomiting, diarrhea, drowsiness, and abdominal pain can happen.

 

Cough Suppressants: Potential side effects can be dizziness, drowsiness, fatigue, vomiting, and stomachache.  Major cautions are restlessness, sever vomiting, slurred speech, shaky movements, troubled breathing and seizures.

 

The FDA had cracked down on many drug companies selling cold and cough drugs for children as they have been linked to pediatric deaths.
