Most of us suffered from cough and cold this cold season. Like me my cough and colds started last Tuesday and I’m so thankful that it was gone yesterday. I’m a little bit fine and happy. There are many ways on how to reduce discomfort if you suffered from cough and cold. The first thing to do is to drink plenty of fluids to prevent dehydration and to help clear the mucus. Get plenty of rest. Avoid too much of work and if you can file a leave at work. You need to stay at home especially if you have cough and colds with fever. Gargle with salt water to relieve the sore throat. If you have losenges, hard candy or ice chips, it can help to soothe the sore throat. Avoid smoking if you have cough and colds. Don’t hesitate to take medicine if needed.
