CNN.com - Health - Drug Shows Promise Against Common Cold - March 15, 2001
http://cnn.com/2001/HEALTH/conditions/03/15/cold.drug/index.html

Extractions: CNN Medical Correspondent (CNN) Two major studies suggest that a new drug can shorten the duration of the common cold and reduce symptoms, researchers said Thursday. Pleconaril, manufactured by ViroPharma, appears to cut one day off the length of the typical cold, and can lessen the severity of the muscle weakness, nasal congestion, runny nose, cough and sore throat that accompany the illness. The treatment appeared to help Jamie Garris, one of more than 2,000 people who participated in the research. CONDITION CLINIC Find out more about symptoms and treatments for the common cold

Extractions: Colds are very common. Most children have several a year. Sometimes, a child with a cold appears very sick, with a high fever, lack of energy, and loss of appetite. Most often a cold results in less severe symptoms, such as coughing, sneezing, and a runny nose. Occasionally, a cold can lead to complications, such as ear infections and pneumonia. Can colds be treated with antibiotics?

Extractions: Health Source: National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, National Institutes of Health. The problem. The causes: viruses. More than 200 different viruses are known to cause the symptoms of the common cold. Rhinoviruses (from the Greek rhin, Coronaviruses are believed to cause a large percentage of all adult colds. They induce colds primarily in the winter and early spring. Of the more than 30 isolated strains, three or four infect humans. Does cold weather cause a cold? Although many people are convinced that a cold results from exposure to cold weather, or from getting chilled or overheated, these conditions in fact have little or no effect on the development or severity of a cold. How cold viruses cause disease. Viruses cause infection by overcoming the body's complex defense system. The body's first line of defense is mucus, produced by the membranes in the nose and throat. Mucus traps the material we inhale: pollen, dust, bacteria, and viruses. When a virus penetrates the mucus and enters a cell, it commandeers the protein-making machinery to manufacture new viruses, which, in turn, attack surrounding cells.

Sleep Concerns: Common Cold
Home Baby Sleep Sleep concerns common cold Approved by the BabyCenter Medical Advisory Board. By the BabyCenter editorial staff.

Extractions: If your baby is already sleeping through the night, his sleep patterns when he gets a cold will remind you of when he was a newborn . He'll probably wake up several times during the night because of general discomfort and difficulty breathing. A baby can't clear his own nose, so you'll have to help. Expect to be up when your child is, comforting him and suctioning out mucus with a nasal aspirator or an ear syringe, which sometimes works better on babies than the long pointy nasal aspirators. Babies tend to get a lot of colds because their immune systems take a while to mature. In fact, if your baby spends a lot of time around older children, he may get as many as six to ten colds in his first year alone. A baby with a cold may have a fever (up to 101 degrees F), cough, sore throat, runny nose, and reddened eyes. He may also be irritable and lose his appetite. These symptoms will generally abate after three to ten days, though in very young babies they can last up to two weeks.

http://www.babycenter.com/refcap/toddler/toddlerills/11417.html

Extractions: Since he's likely to be exploring a lot and touching (and licking!) everything, it's easy for him to pick up a cold virus on his hands. Then all he has to do is put his fingers in his nose or rub his eyes, and the virus will get a chance to set up shop in his nasal passages. Your toddler may get sick more often during the fall and winter months because cold air and indoor heating dry out his nasal membranes, making it easier for a cold virus to get a foothold there. He also spends more time during cold weather cooped up indoors, where viruses are more likely to spread from one person to another. And recent studies have confirmed what working parents already know: Children in daycare get more colds, ear infections, runny noses, and other respiratory troubles than kids cared for at home. Even if he's not around lots of other children, your toddler is likely to have six to 12 colds a year. As he gets older, the number of colds he gets will diminish, dwindling to about three a year in the teen years.

Extractions: When someone says, "I have a cold," what he or she means is, "There is something in my body that is causing me to have the set of symptoms that we call a 'cold.'" The set of symptoms normally includes things like a runny nose, sneezing, coughing, "chills" and a headache. It does not include a fever normally, if there is a fever it's called "the flu." There are many different viruses that can cause cold symptoms, but about half of the time a cold is caused by a class of viruses called rhinoviruses The rhinovirus gets into the cells lining your nose and starts reproducing. It arrives from other people it is not cold weather that causes a cold, but the fact that cold weather causes people to congregate together indoors, which makes transmission of the virus easier. The virus generally moves from someone else's hands to your hands (either directly or through some intermediate surface like a door knob), and from your hands into your nose or eyes. Your body reacts to the presence of the virus with its immune system. The article

http://www.medicinenet.com/Common_Cold/article.htm

Extractions: The common cold, also known as a viral upper respiratory tract infection, is a contagious illness that can be caused by a number of different types of viruses. Because of the great number of viruses that can cause a cold, the body never builds up resistance against all of them. For this reason, colds are a frequent and recurring problem. In fact, on average, preschool children have 9 colds a year; those in kindergarten, 12 colds a year; and adolescents and adults, 7 colds per year. What are the symptoms of the common cold?

Even though scientists claim there is no cure for the common cold, a viral infection that most people get, there are natural herbs and vitamin supplements that you can take to help your body's immunity system fight it off faster! Cold germs attack the uppper respiratory system and most often start off with a sore throat and runny nose. As the virus progresses, the germs work on destroying some of your body's healthy cells, and this is what makes you feel the symptoms of the cold, like body aches and pains, etc. When you have a fever, it is actually your body at work trying to fight off the enemy germs that have invaded it. bodyOffer(18511) Vitamins are probably the best addition you can take every day to help your immunity system ward off colds as well as other illnesses. Vitamin C, also known as Ascorbic Acid, can be taken as a nutritional supplement, and it can be found in many foods such as citrus fruits, some vegetables, and rose hips. Vitamins A and E are especially helpful in the immunity system also. Echinacea is an herb that acts as nature's antibiotic. It helps to boost the body's immunity system and thus aids in fighting off the infection and illness. Like every other herb, or prescription drug, it should be taken at the onset of the first symptoms of a cold. Follow the directions on the bottle or consult your health care professional to find out the recommended dosage amount.

http://www.kidsource.com/health/the.common.cold.html

Extractions: The Common Cold in the Child Care Setting 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 1994, 66 million cases of the common cold in the United States required medical attention or resulted in restricted activity. In 1994, colds caused 24 million days of restricted activity and 20 million days lost from school, according to NCHS.

Extractions: by American Academy of Pediatrics Advertisement The common cold is caused by many different types of viruses. Usual symptoms can include sore throat, runny nose and watering eyes, sneezing, chills, and a general, all-over achiness. To prevent the spread of colds: Excluding children with mild respiratory infections, including colds, is generally not recommended as long as the child can participate comfortably and does not require a level of care that would jeopardize the health and safety of other children. Such exclusion is of little benefit since viruses are likely to be spread even before symptoms have appeared.
CNN.com - Health - Natural Cures For The Common Cold? - February 13, 2001

Extractions: CNN Medical Correspondent (CNN) We've all felt the symptoms: sniffling, sneezing, coughing, congestion. The average American suffers two to six colds a year, and as yet, there's no known cure. Nevertheless, pharmacies and stores that sell alternative medicine therapies are stocked with products claiming to be natural remedies for the common cold. Herbal industry experts say Americans spend about $400 million each year on cold treatments like zinc and echinacea. But natural remedies such as these are only loosely regulated by the Food and Drug Administration and are on the shelves despite conflicting evidence about whether they work.

Extractions: In research carried out by researchers from the University of Witwaterserand and the University of Cape Town in South Africa, 43 entrants in the 90-kilometre Comrades Marathon ingested 500 mg of vitamin C daily for 21 days prior to the 1993 race. Another 45 participants took 500 mg vitamin C plus 400 IU of vitamin E daily, while 37 runners supplemented their diets with 300 mg of vitamin C, 300 IU of vitamin E, and 18 mg of beta carotene (a chemical which the human body readily converts to vitamin A). 47 other runners took in only a placebo, and all runners were matched with sedentary control individuals who took in similar amounts of anti-oxidants or placebo. All subjects were monitored for infections for 14 days after the marathon. Compared to sedentary controls, runners did have more respiratory system infections during the two weeks after Comrades (very strenuous exercise - like completing a 54-mile marathon - tends to suppress the immune system). However, within the running group, taking in vitamin C or a mixture of C, E, and beta carotene seemed to help prevent infection. Only 16-20 per cent of the runners receiving vitamin C alone or the combination of C, E, and beta carotene became ill, compared with 40 per cent of the runners who consumed a placebo.

http://www.ncemi.org/cse/cse0501.htm

Extractions: Back to table of contents Most patients with colds do not visit emergency departments, unless they are unusually ill; the cold is prolonged more than a week, or it is progressing into bronchitis or serous otitis with new symptoms. The patient may want a note from a physician excusing him from work; or a prescription for antibiotics, which "seemed to help" the last time he had a cold. The common denominator of URIs is inflammation of the respiratory mucosa. The nasal mucosa is usually red, swollen, and wet with reactive mucous. The pharynx is inflamed directly or by drainage of mucous from the nose, and swallowing may be painful. Pharyngitis secondary to nasal drainage is typically worse upon arising in the morning, and signs and symptoms may be localized to the side that is dependent during sleep. Occlusion of the ostia of paranasal sinuses permits buildup of mucous and pressure, leading to pain and predisposing bacterial superinfection. Occlusion of the orifices of the eustachian tubes in the posterior pharynx permits imbalance of middle ear pressure and serous otitis . The larynx can be inflamed directly or secondarily to drainage of mucus or forceful coughing, lowering the pitch and volume of the voice or causing hoarseness. The trachea can also be inflamed, producing coughing, and the bronchi can develop a bacterial superinfection or bronchospasm with wheezing. In addition to all these ills of the upper respiratory mucosa, there can be reactive lymphadenopathy of the anterior cervical chain, diffuse myalgias, and side effects of self medication.
