Cold season
Wie kann man eine Verkühlung vorbeugen?
Eine Verkühlung vollständig zu vermeiden, ist fast unmöglich, da es unzählige Viren gibt. Doch mit einigen Möglichkeiten ist das Immune system to strengthen.
Healthy nutrition: plenty of fresh vegetables, fruit and wholemeal products
Sufficient sleep: The body recovers during sleep
Regular exercise: Good for the circulation
Healthy indoor air: Fresh air reduces viruses indoors
Which home remedies help with colds and coughs?
- Drink a lot: Plenty of water & unsweetened teas with honey and lemon or herbal teas help to soothe the cough.
- Inhalation: Inhaling hot water vapour can clear the airways.
- Chicken soup: The ingredients in chicken soup can alleviate the symptoms.
- Nasal rinses: Viruses are flushed out & nose is cleared
When should you take a child to the doctor?
In den meisten Fällen klingen Verkühlungen von selbst wieder ab. Nevertheless, you should take your child to the doctor if:
- the cough longer als 2 weeks lasts
- Hoarseness, breathing difficulties or pain
- Especially for discoloured mucus (yellowish or reddish)
- with several days or high Fever
