When you catch a cold, it is important to rest well and eat well.
Utilizing cold medications is also effective when you have discomforting cold symptoms.

Before you catch a cold...

Make it a habit to wash your hands and gargle when you come home from outside.

Eighty to ninety percent of colds are caused by viruses. Washing your hands with soap and hot water and gargling with mouthwash are effective as preventive measures.

Make sure to get yourself in good physical condition in your daily life.

If your body is not in good condition, you will be more likely to be infected with a virus. Control your stress and fatigue, have a good night’s sleep, and enhance your physical strength and immunity.

Also, pay close attention to your daily meals.

Wherever possible, try to eat green and yellow vegetables and fruits, which contain a lot of vitamin C and vitamin A, which influence various immune functions.

Provide a supply of fresh air into a room by ventilating it well in a timely manner.

In order to keep the air in the room clean, open the windows to let in fresh air. Since the air is dry in winter, maintain appropriate humidity with a humidifier.

If you suspect you may have a cold

The first priority is to rest.

Have a good night’s sleep in a warm room with relatively high humidity. If you sweat, wipe it off well and avoid cooling your body.

If you don’t have a fever, it is a good idea to warm yourself slowly in a bath.

The steam from the bath moisturizes the mucous membranes of your nose and throat. Take a bath with lukewarm water to avoid exhausting yourself. You should avoid staying in the bath for too long.

Try to take in sufficient nutrition even if you don’t have an appetite.
