Cold </h3><br><br> By: Alex Chong<br><br><p>Viral infectious disease of the upper respiratory
system is known as common cold by common folk. Medical term for this disease is acute viral
nasopharyngitis. Among human diseases, this is the most common and contagious disease that
affects adults and its recurrence rate is average of two to four times per year. Recurrence rate
can go up to twelve times in a year if it attacks school children. When weather changes from one
season to another season in tropical countries, common cold will become widespread, and it
usually occurs after school holidays. November to January and March to August are the two
alarming periods. Common cold in bodies can be aggravated by haze, which is released from the
open burning of biomass such as paddy and wheat straws. A weakened immune system, which is
mostly due to not enough sleep or rest, can do the same harm as the haze. Secondary bacterial
infection of the sinuses, pneumonia and asthma is due to the untreated prolonged cases of
common cold. </p>

<p>Most common colds are caused by the infection of virus known as rhinovirus. Coronavirus,
human parainfluenza viruses, or human respiratory syncytial virus are the other types of viruses
that also can cause a common colds. Types of viruses that can cause cold can go up to 200
types and most of them are already present in the environment. A resistance is never built up
against to these viruses in our body is due to the variety of these viruses and also the
development of new viruses. Because of this, cold quite often recurs. Before the body's immune
system defeats the cold virus, it can infect the next person. </p>

<p>Sneezing or coughing can spread virus particle through air and when a person breathes in
these particles, it can cause that person catches cold. The second ways, where a person can
catch cold is through person to person contact such as shake hand, hug and etc. A cold can also
be spread by accidentally touching the mouth or nose with a rhinovirus contaminated hands.
Nevertheless, the most threatening is sneezing because a significantly high concentration of virus
can be expelled from sneezing. The falling rate of the virus cloud expelled from sneezing can last
for hours in air. The virus cloud is invisible because parts of the droplet nuclei evaporating in air.
Due to the evaporating of parts of the droplet nuclei and leaving much smaller and invisible
droplet nuclei in the air, the virus cloud is unable to be visualized with bare eyes. Droplets from
turbulent sneezing or coughing, which have been spat on any surface, can last for hours. Surface
that has been contaminated by droplets through hand contact also can last for a few hours. When
the virus enters the cells of the lining of the nasopharynx , which is the area between the nose
and throat, it will multiply rapidly. </p>

<p>One to three days is the incubation period, which is the time between becoming infected and
developing symptoms. About one day before symptoms begin, that is the infectious period
begins. During this time, the infected person can infect others and the infectious period will
continue for the first five days of the illness. In a crowded room with the close proximity of an
infected person will cause the virus spread more rapidly. That's why children get infected easily in
class-rooms or playgrounds. </p>

<p>Sore, scratchy, and phlegmy throat together with congestion and runny nose, sneezing and
coughing is the first indication of cold. Side symptoms such as muscle aches, fatigue and
weakness may accompany sometimes. Heavy fever or headache, which leads to extreme
exhaustion is rarely caused by colds but mostly caused by influenza, a very virulent virus. Cold in
severe and rare cases may accompany symptoms of conjunctivitis such as red, itchy, or watery
eyes. If infants or young children catch cold, the symptoms mentioned above may be more
severe. For a sufferer who has recovered from common cold will develop immunity in his or her
body to the particular virus. However, different kind of cold virus still can easily infect this person.
Generally, cold usually will end after five to seven days, but residual symptoms such as coughing
and sneezing can last up to one to fourteen days depending to infected person health condition.
</p>

<p>When someone with a cold coughs or sneezes, the virus particles can travel up to 12 feet (3.7
meters) through the air. Hence, to prevent ourselves from contracting a cold from this person, the
best way is to avoid contact with such person and also stay far from this person. Moreover, we
should not share towels or eating utensils such as glass, bottle with someone who has a cold. If
you are the one who catches cold, try to practise good hygiene such as washing your hands
thoroughly and frequently after blowing your nose. Besides, you should try to avoid touching your
mouth and face in order that your hands will not contaminate with droplet. To prevent from
transmitting the disease to other unaffected people, you should cover your nose and mouths with
handkerchief when coughing or sneezing. </p>

<p>However, there are medications we can take to relieve the symptoms of the cold. For the last
50 years, herbal formulation to treat common cold already available in Europe. This herbal
formulation can help to ward off viral attacks and relieving the symptoms by strengthening the
body's immune system. The key components of this formulation are Herba Thujae Occidentalis
(white cedar leaf herb), Radix Baptisiae Tinctoriae (wild indigo root), and two Echinacea extracts,
which are Radix Echinaceae Purpureae (purple coneflower root) and Radix Echinaceae Pallidae
(pale coneflower root). Thujae and Baptisiae can stimulate our immune system, while Echinacea
possesses antiviral properties. Our body immune system can be activated with the help of this
unique herb combination. Activated immune system can increase its resistance to disease and
viral or bacterial infections. This medication has been going through many clinical trials and 20 of
them already published. Currently, this combination of herbs is the only phytomedicine, which is
able to treat common cold. Two scientists in Germany, Erich Schaper and Albert Brummer,
developed this formulation in 1923, which has been used to treat millions of patients throughout
the world. There is no side-effects and safe for consumption for both babies and adults.</p>
