How Can You Make Your Cold Go Away Faster?

By Edward Camp - San Francisco Chiropractor Most uncomplicated colds last between eight and nine days, but about 25 percent last two weeks, and 5-10 percent last three weeks. Even the most stubborn colds will typically resolve in a few weeks' time. A cold will last, at most, a few weeks, but allergy symptoms can last all season. Recovery rate varies by individual and can clearly be affected by lifestyle. Typical things people do include taking over-the-counter cough and cold remedies or fever reducers. This is not actually necessary as long as your temperature remains below 102 degrees Fahrenheit (38.9 degrees Celsius) Actually, Cold viruses don’t reproduce at higher body temperatures, so a slight fever can actually help you get rid of the virus quicker. Another common thing people do is, take over-the-counter pain-relief medications. Studies have shown that people who take aspirin and Tylenol (acetaminophen) suppress their body's ability to produce antibodies to destroy the cold virus. Aspirin has even been linked to Lung complications including pulmonary edema. You should only use these medications when absolutely necessary, such as if you have a temperature greater than 105 degrees F (40.5 degrees C), severe muscle aches or weakness. Increasing vitamin C, D and E are helpful as is rest and stress reduction. Lets hope you have a cold free season but if not try a less is more approach and you’ll recover faster.
