How do you get a cold ?
The nasal cavities and sinuses are coated with a membrane called "mucosa" which continuously secretes a liquid. This liquid humidifies the inspired air and traps dust or microbes, which helps fight infections. When this lining is irritated, it swells and the cells on its surface can express molecules that promote the attachment of viruses to the lining.
The many viruses that are responsible for the common cold are spread from person to person, most commonly by aerosolized droplets of saliva, especially when sneezing, or by direct contact with the hands. or contaminated objects. They are essentially rhinoviruses, adenoviruses, syncytial viruses, influenza viruses, para-influenza viruses or coronaviruses, all fairly benign viruses.
Please note, the drug Actifed Cold is not a product like any other. Read the package leaflet carefully before ordering. Keep Actifed Cold medicines out of the reach of children. If symptoms persist, seek the advice of your doctor or pharmacist. Beware of incompatibilities on your current products.

ADVICE / HEALTH EDUCATION
"WHAT TO DO IN CASE OF A NOSE MOUTH OR NOSE THAT CASTING":
This medication is used in the treatment of the sensation of clogged nose and / or headaches during colds in adults and adolescents over 15 years of age.
The common cold is a very acute benign infection that affects the nasal mucosa (inner lining of the nose). This mucous membrane creates a liquid whose role is to constantly moisten the inspired air and fight against infectious agents. When this mucosa is irritated, it swells and increases its usual liquid seizure, so that the nose "gets clogged" or that the nose "sinks".
In order to limit the occurrence of symptoms, respect as much as possible the following hygiene rules:
AT· wash hands regularly, especially before meals or when preparing them;
AT· cover your mouth when coughing or sneezing;
AT· blow your nose often with disposable handkerchiefs (not to recontaminate) and throw them in a trash immediately after use, then wash your hands;
AT· Avoid visiting a young child and her newborn, an elderly person, or a person treated with immunosuppressants (corticosteroids, medicines for a disease of the blood or a cancer ...). In these cases, wearing the mask is recommended.
For your comfort:
AT· drink enough;
AT· moisten the nasal mucosa with suitable washing solutions (physiological serum, sprays of thermal water or sea water);
AT· Avoid smoking or breathing the smoke of others;
AT· sleeping the raised head to improve the airflow in the clogged nostrils and to sleep sufficiently;
AT· protect the skin of the upper lip and the nostrils by a cream as the repetition of the flies tends to irritate the skin;
AT· Avoid air conditioners that dehumidify the air and dry the nasal mucous membranes, the ideal temperature of the room should be around 18-20 ° C;
AT· regularly aerate the parts.
"WHAT TO DO IN THE EVENT OF FEVER":
Normal body temperature varies from person to person and ranges from 36.5 ° C to 37.5 ° C.
A rise of more than 0.8 ° C is considered a fever.
In adults and adolescents over 15 years of age: if the disorders they cause are too troublesome, you can take a medication that contains paracetamol in accordance with the indicated dosages.
With this medication, the fever should drop rapidly. NÃ © Nevertheless:
AT· if other signs appear (such as cutaneous eruption),
AT· if the fever persists for more than 3 days or if it worsens,
AT· if the headache becomes violent, or in case of vomiting,
CONSULT YOUR DOCTOR IMMEDIATELY.
