Still No Cure
For Common Cold
What can you do for the common
cold?
Most folks know you can't cure
it. And yet we keep trying. We still
waste a lot of time and money on
pills and nostrums and treatments
- all in the faint hope that maybe
this time something will help.
A cold is caused by one or more
of many viruses, the American
Medical Association reminds, and,
actually, grandma's home therapy
is still good. If you get a cold, stay
home in bed. Keep warm. Gargle
to ease a sore throat. Take a mild
pain reliever for the discomfort.
None of this will cure the cold, but
it will make you feel somewhat
more comfortable while your body's
natural defense mechanisms are
building up enough steam to
overcome the cold virus.
Most of us have a cold or two
during the course of the winter.
Usually we try to keep going to the
office, but sometimes we feel too
bad to work and spend a day or two
at home.
There are medications now
available ? antihistamines, pain
relievers, cough suppressants, and
fever reducers -- that can make the
symptoms of a cold much less
severe. These have their limitations
and their problems. The antihista
mines can cause drowsiness, which
can be highly dangerous when
driving an auto. If you get a cold,
ask your doctor about the medi
cations that reduce the runny nose
and sneezing and coughing.
As youngsters heard the old folks
say: Treat a cold and cure it in two
weeks; let it alone and it will go
away in a fortnight. The time
element isn't that exact, but the
theory is the same.
Much research has been done on
the cause and possible cure for
colds. Perhaps the answer will be
found some day. But as of now we

Proper humidity of air in
haled by the nose is extreme
ly important to the function
of the lungs. A primary func
tion of the membrane lining
the nose is to moisturize the
inhaled air to 85% humidity
when it reaches the lungs.
Too dry air passing thru the
nose and to the lungs will
cause irritations in the nose,
sinuses, ears, throat, and per
haps the bronchial tubes.
