Common Cold
Are you feeling sniffly and stuffy? HomeTown Urgent Care is here to help when those pesky cold symptoms come your way.
Our providers at HomeTown Urgent Care offer quick, quality care to help you feel better—so you can get back to being well, now. The common cold is the illness that people experience most over the course of their lives.
Symptoms of an Common Cold
When you catch a common cold, you’ll likely experience several familiar symptoms. Congestion is a common one, affecting both your chest and nose, making you feel blocked up. A persistent, hacking cough often accompanies the cold. Your nose might also be particularly bothersome, feeling both stuffy and runny, with frequent draining.
Sneezing is another hallmark, as your irritated nose and throat react to the cold virus. Lastly, a sore throat is typical; as congestion drains, it can irritate your throat, leading to inflammation and discomfort.
Common Cold Treatment
Because the common cold can be caused by over 200 different viruses, there’s no single cure or vaccine for it. While your body works to fight off the virus, there are several ways you can support your immune system and lessen your symptoms, in addition to using over-the-counter pain relievers.
Rest and hydration are crucial; getting enough sleep and drinking plenty of water will significantly help your body recover and heal faster. To soothe a sore throat, you can gargle with warm salt water. Using a humidifier can also bring relief by adding moisture back into the air, which helps to ease congestion.
