HOW TO COMBAT VIRAL COLD??

It is true that there is not much you can do if you have a cold, other than looking after yourself and keeping yourself as comfortable as possible. You can't 'heal' a cold, as it has to run its course, but you can take measures to prevent catching a secondary infection. The vast majority of human viral infections can be effectively fought by the body's own immune system, with a little help in the form of proper diet, hydration, and rest. Remember to take-in plenty of fluids and vitamin C (best in the form of fresh fruit, especially oranges) and don't let yourself get overtired. Taking a couple of paracetamol a couple of times each day can help if you're experiencing aching limbs. The main things though, are fluids and rest - get some early nights. As you probably know, viral infections cannot be treated with antibiotics.
