A cold is also called
infectious rhinitis, a viral infection of the nose through to the throat. A cold is normally a self-limiting
conditions, and that means that it only last so long and goes away on its own
and it should, the main reason being that the body’s immune system takes care
of the virus, but before going away the cold viruses may wing their way to your
family members or friends, or relatives with whom you may have come in contact
with during the time of your cold.
For most of us, coming
down with flu at least a couple of times during the year is considered normal,
but remember that cold that you get should go away on its own. If it goes away on its own then one can say
that your immune system has fought the viruses and destroyed which is a very
good sign but at the same time, coming down with flu for a couple of times in a
year is also cause for worry since it generally means that your immune system
is turning weak, your immune system should have neutralized the cold virus even
without your knowledge that you were attacked by a cold virus. The only worrying matter is that this might
be a start stage for a severe illness or disease that are likely to be more
severe than the common cold with its runny nose, sore throat, and sneezing, shows
that the immune system is breaking down at a slow pace but then picking up and
finishing off the invaders under any circumstances, giving you relief but then
again it attacks after some period of time, which means that the immune system
though managed to get rid of the cold, still it is being overwhelmed by the
repeat bouts of cold virus all the year around and this should raise your
danger signal and make you ask questions as to why I am targeted with cold
virus a number of times during the year and off course make you run to the
doctor, not for the same of taking medicine to subdue it, but to find cause of
repeated bout of cold which is what is lacking in current medical scenario.
If you have observed
there are some people who have extraordinary robust immune systems, that is
without taking any nutritional supplements regularly to boost the immune system
and that is a very good sign and they always should endeavor to maintain it,
and for that one needs to main proper diet, exercise, proper channeling of
emotions.
