A cold is usually called a disease of the upper respiratory tract, which is caused by viruses. It is believed that if a person has strong immunity, then such a disease will occur without temperature. This is especially common in adults. If a child's organism immediately reacts to a viral infection with fever, then an adult organism with an already established and more or less strong immune response may not react at all to a cold with fever.
Perhaps, for this reason, there are questions, such as what medicines to drink when cold without temperature? After all, most drugs in their composition have antipyretic agents, which in this case are not required. But all in order. Let us first consider the symptoms of a cold without raising the body temperature.
Symptoms of the disease
A cold without a temperature usually proceeds as with a rise in temperature:
- unpleasant aches in joints;
- Persecution in the throat ;
- congestion of mucus in the nose, runny nose;
- cough, as a result of sore throat;
- general weakness and malaise.
The incubation period in viral infections of the upper respiratory tract is up to two days. Therefore, the symptoms can appear gradually. First the cold can begin simply with an easy indisposition, and later there will be a runny nose and a sore throat.
Approach to treating colds
The first thing to remember is that viruses are eliminated from the body with the help of abundant drinking. Therefore, drinking requires a lot, teas with honey, lemon, herbs, fruit drinks, and just water.
Whether it is worth taking pills for colds without temperature is up to you and the treating doctor, based on the general condition of the body. After all, it happens that there is no temperature, and the condition is very bad, there is no strength to rise, a strong ache all over the body. In such cases it is better to help the body cope with the virus. Perfectly suitable:
- Imunoflazid;
- Amiksin ;
- Lavomak;
- Arbidol;
- Tamiflu and others.
Modern pharmacology offers a wide range of medicines aimed at fighting viruses. Virtually all the powders that are directed to destroy the virus and raise the body's immunity have paracetamol, which is not necessary for colds without fever. But on the other hand, aspirin in the composition of drugs helps the body cope with the virus.
From a cold without fever, you can drink funds that increase overall immunity and enable you to quickly overcome a viral infection.
Do not forget that in addition to taking medications for colds without fever, old proven methods help:
- maximum bed rest;
- teas from herbs (viburnum, raspberry, linden and others);
- warm and fairly fresh air in the room.
- positive attitude to recovery.
If the body has strong immunity, then the cold will take 5-7 days and will not leave a trace. But measures still take to avoid bad complications.
