http://www.niaid.nih.gov/factsheets/cold.htm

Extractions: 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 Viruses.

Extractions: Colds are caused by viruses and no "shot" will cure a cold that doesn't have other complications. You may be uncomfortable but a cold is not usually an emergency. Nasal congestion with stuffiness and a runny nose. Cough - maybe worse at night. Fever - especially the first day or two. Decreased appetite. May have loose stools (runny bowel movements) or vomiting. May be irritable. Drink lots of fluids like water and juices. Try to stay away from other people in order to avoid spreading the infection. Do not wear too many clothes (overdress). Ask smokers in the house to smoke outside. Use a vaporizer if needed. Salt water nose drops can be used for congestion (stuffiness). Rest as needed. Take Tylenol for low grade fevers. Fevers should not be more than 102 degrees. You should not have trouble breathing. Phlegm (spit) should not be green or yellow. Cold should improve in 14 days. If you do have any of these problems, you need to call your doctor. LSUMC Family Medicine Patient Education Home Page
The Common Cold Relief But No Cure
Article from the federal Department of Health and Human Services about treating the common cold, which Category Health Conditions and Diseases common coldThe common cold Relief But No Cure, Save Invaluable Medical Record. The common coldis a selflimiting respiratory infection which lasts from one to two weeks.
http://www.hoptechno.com/book64.htm

Extractions: The Common Cold: Relief But No Cure (posted by Hopkins Technology) After reviewing the ingredients that go into thousands of nonprescription drug products, an FDA advisory panel has concluded that a number of them will relieve cold symptoms but there is still no cure for one of mankind's most familiar maladies. The panel studied some 90 active ingredients that are used in cough, cold, and related products and gave its views on the safety and effectiveness of each one. by Annabel Hecht Had you lived in ancient Rome you might have sipped a broth made by soaking Allium cepa - an onion - in warm water to relieve the symptoms of the common cold. In Colonial America you might have relied on pennyroyal tea or an herbal concoction made from such unmedicinal sounding plants as sage, hyssop, yarrow, black cohosh, buckthorn, coltsfoot, goldenseal, cubeb berries, or bloodroot. In grandma's time, lemon and honey was a favorite recipe, or in extreme cases, a hot toddy laced with rum - the amount of same determined by the age of the drinker. Today, if you don't have an old reliable remedy to fall back on, you might take one of literally thousands of drug preparations available without prescription. Some contain ingredients reminiscent of the folk medicine of the past; others are formulated with sophisticated chemical creations. Old or new, simple or sophisticated, many of these remedies will relieve some of the familiar cold symptoms, such as stopped up nose or hacking cough. But not a single one of these products - on which Americans spend an estimated $700 million a year - will prevent, cure, or even shorten the course of the common cold.
Alternative Common Cold Medications
Alternative methods for treating the common cold.
http://www.mikeschoice.com/reports/common_cold_alt.html

Extractions: Are alternative medicines any use for treating the common cold? Conventional medicines provide only relief from symptoms and do not work against the virus or help our immune system to throw off the infection. There is evidence that some alternative medicines such as zinc and Echinacea may help prevent the onset of common cold symptoms or shorten the duration of symptoms. Alternative medicines are 'big business' In the USA it has been estimated that at least one third of the population uses alternative medicines. In Europe the percentage is even higher, being from 40 - 70% in some cases. The scientific and medical establishments have been defeated by this most common of diseases The popularity of alternative medicines for common cold treatment may be due to the perception by the public that the scientific and medical establishments have been defeated by this most common of diseases. Since a common cold is usually of no great consequence to the vast majority of patients, and is a self limiting disorder, it is normally treated by self medication without resource to medical consultation. The common cold does exact a tremendous toll in morbidity and economic cost.

Extractions: Common Cold Basics T he common cold is caused by a viral infection of the nose and throat. Viruses are much smaller than bacteria and many scientists argue that they are not really 'alive' in the sense that they can only reproduce by hijacking the machinery of living cells such as those lining our noses. There are several groups of viruses that cause the common cold and one of the most common is the rhinovirus or 'nose' virus since rhino means nose. The common cold is more common in cold weather than in summer but there are still plenty of colds around in summer particularly when we go on holiday Common Cold information Summer Colds Conventional common cold medications Alternative common cold medications ...

http://www.med.usf.edu/FAMILY/Health_Education_Projects/cold-htran.htm

Extractions: What is a Cold ? A variety of conditions can cause symptoms of the common cold, but this term is usually reserved for those causes by an upper respiratory tract viral infection. Common cold infections are so prevalent that very few human beings can escape infection each year and some may suffer multiple infections in a given year. The number of colds decreases with age. Preschool children average four to eight colds per year, school age children average two to six per year, and adults average two to five per year. The frequency is increased among persons living in crowded conditions and among mother with young children. Increased psychological stress may also increase a person's susceptibility to a cold as stress could decrease the ability of our body to fight infections. Is cold more common in the winter?

On average one person out of sixty will currently be suffering from a cold. This means that in the UK alone, in any one day, 930,000 people will have a cold. As around 30% of the population work, 279,000 people should be away from work on any one day, suffering from cold symptoms. This means that over a full year, one-hundred and one million - yes 101,000,000 - workings days would be lost to the rhinovirus, costing industry, at a minimum wage of £4 an hour, a staggering £2.8 billion per year; no wonder it is called the common cold!
