March 2001 The Common Cold The Problem In the course of a year, individuals in the United States suffer 1 billion colds, according to some estimates. Colds are most prevalent among children, and seem to be related to youngsters' relative lack of resistance to infection and to contacts with other children in day-care centers and schools. Children have about six to ten colds a year. In families with children in school, the number of colds per child can be as high as 12 a year. Adults average about two to four colds a year, although the range varies widely. Women, especially those aged 20 to 30 years, have more colds than men, possibly because of their closer contact with children. On average, individuals older than 60 have fewer than one cold a year. The economic impact of the common cold is enormous. The National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS) estimates that, in 1996, 62 million cases of the common cold in the United States required medical attention or resulted in restricted activity. In 1996, colds caused 45 million days of restricted activity and 22 million days lost from school, according to NCHS. The Causes The Viruses.

by Dr. J. Glenn Knox BA, DC author of the 344 page book from the LIFEKNOX JOURNAL published by Lifeknox Publishing PO BOX 65130 Vancouver, WA 98665 Order it now! Click here to order online! Colds and flu are commonly viral illnesses, in fact colds are by definition viral illnesses, rhino viruses of which there are several thousand types. What is the current medical treatment for colds? Antihistamines, cough suppressants, decongestants and other treatments of the symptoms of infection are used, but very little treatment is directed toward the cause of the cold. Rest in bed, keeping warm and plenty of fluids is still recognized as important. Sometimes even antibiotics are used, even though we all know that antibiotics never work on viruses. Rhino-virus infections usually last about three or four days. The lining of the respiratory tract is affected and the surface is damaged by the virus. Then bacteria, which may be susceptible to antibiotics, move into the damaged tissue and set up secondary infections. These cause the yellow discharge of infected material from the nose that can last for weeks. Today if I had a cold I would try a health food store first. Even if I had pneumonia I might try a health food store first. Health food stores sell large quantities of vitamin C, Echinacea, and other herbal and homeopathic remedies for colds which often do have some effect on viral diseases. Vitamin C and A are certainly proven to be enhancers of the immune system, and many herbs and homeopathic remedies have clinical evidence of efficacy. I am not suggesting that you refuse to or do not see a medical physician for pneumonia. There are still many strains of this disease, and many others, that antibiotics cure. It is just that there are many that they do not. The belief that health and freedom of disease could come from doses of antibiotics was wrong 50 years ago. It is even more wrong today.

You've tried a slew of over-the-counter drugs but still feel sort of lousy. And when you describe what's wrong, the list sounds like roll call for the one of the Seven Dwarfs and his bothersome cousins sneezy, itchy and scratchy. Is it a cold? Or is it an allergy? How do you tell the difference and what will make you feel better? The onset of spring and the pollination of some plants that occurs during this time of year tend to raise those sorts of questions. The quick clues in determining the difference between an allergy or a cold are duration, texture and color, said Dr. William Dolen, an allergist at the Medical College of Georgia in Augusta. That means how long the symptoms last and how thick and what color the, um how should we say it? how dense and colored the mucus is. EXTRA INFORMATION Interactive: The facts on allergies At the onset of the discomfort, a sufferer's nose may be kind of runny and itchy, and some sneezing may be involved. At that point it could be either a cold or allergy, Dolen said. The diagnosis becomes more clear about 48 hours later, he said.

Colds are by far the most common illness in the world. In the United States, 90% of the population will have at least one cold per year. The flu is similar, and somtimes has the same symptoms as a cold, but is often much more severe and lasts longer. Cold and flu viruses attack the nose, nasal sinuses, throat and the upper breathing tubes (trachea and bronchi). As they invade the moist skin lining of these structures, they cause runny nose, sinus congestion, sneezing, sore throat and cough . Fever might also occur, usually with the flu. Although it Is difficult to tell the difference between colds and flu (especially in children), the chart on the next page may help distinguish between the two. The classic symptoms of above begin 1-4 days after contact with the virus and usually last 5-7 days, but can linger on. For most healthy people the difference between colds and flu aren't important. For the elderly, very young children, or otherwise susceptible people, the flu can be very serious. These people should always be seen by a doctor if the flu is suspected. Causes Both colds and flu are caused by viruses, and the real difference between them is simply the type of virus that causes the illness.

A new study, however, found that nearly half of adults and one-third of parents of children with cold symptoms wanted a prescription for antibiotics to manage the symptoms. Barbara L. Braun, Ph.D., and Jinnet B. Fowles, Ph.D., of HealthSystem Minnesota in Minneapolis, investigated the reasons for the requests for antibiotics and their use among people who had colds.

At one time or another, patients have blamed almost all discomforts of the head and neck on "Sinus". However, the term "Sinus" means a bony cavity next to the nasal passageway and its medical usage should be reserved for conditions involving this structure. It is a location not a medical condition. A "Cold" refers to an infection of the nose and throat. It is usually viral but may also be caused by a bacteria. Usually, patients with colds are febrile, have malaise (feels sick) and myalgias (sore muscles). Types of Over-The-Counter Medications List Of Over-The-Counter Medications The problem with treating a "Cold" is it may not be a "Cold" at all. A simple sore or scratchy throat may be caused by a bacterial such as Group A Beta Hemolytic Streptococcus If not treated, it may lead to rheumatic fever (disease of the heart valve ). Because of the emerging problem with bacterial resistance to antibiotics, patients should not be treated indiscriminately. Antibiotic therapy should be reserved for patients in whom acute sinusitis ( infection of the sinuses ) is a consideration and for those with positive Strep Screens. The organisms which cause acute sinusitis are the same as those that cause acute otitis media middle ear infection). (In some respects, the ear can be thought of as a specialized sinus cavity.)

C old and flu viruses probably account for more unnecessary trips to the doctor than anything else. The problem is, there's not much your doctor can do except provide you with sympathy, and tell you what you already know: "Rest, take a pain-reliever, and drink plenty of fluids." So, keep this self care brochure on hand for the next time you come down with a cold or the flu. It could save you the supreme hassle (and expense) of an unnecessary doctor visit. GUIDELINES. . . Home care Take aspirin, acetaminophen, or ibuprofen to relieve headache, muscle ache, and fever. Rest (in bed if necessary). If you feel well enough to be up and about, OK. Just take it easy. You're most contagious the one to four days before you come down with symptoms not while you're ill. Drink plenty of liquids. Your body needs extra fluids when you have a fever. Also, extra fluids help keep the mucous more liquid, which can help prevent bacterial complications such as ear infections and bronchitis. Salty liquids (e.g. chicken soup, bouillon) can help with dizziness. If you have a headache or cough, or are congested, a vaporizer can help you feel better and breathe easier. A steamy shower works, too.
