Your allies this winter

Your allies this winter

With the arrival of this season of the year, it is normal for people to shelter indoors or in closed spaces, due to the cold and rain. However, it is precisely in these environments that cold viruses are transmitted, especially when frequented by many people.

What is a constipation?

A cold is a viral infection that is only transmitted if a person catches the virus. What happens is that the virus spreads in the dry air that circulates in heated spaces, and travels through coughing and sneezing, usually in closed spaces.

What are the symptoms of a cold?

· Sore throat;

· Cough;

· Fatigue;

· Sneezing;

· Stuffy nose.



Find out about treatments for constipation:

· Nasal decongestants;

· Use of saline solutions, such as sea water;

· Treatments with vapors;

· Air humidifiers.



A stuffy nose is one of the worst symptoms of a cold, as not only does it make breathing difficult, it can also cause your sleep cycle to be irregular, which is not beneficial when one of the best treatments for a cold is rest.

Therefore, in case of nasal congestion, Rhinomer and Vibrocil may be the solution you are looking for:

· Rhinomer is best indicated in the first phase of cleaning: It is a nasal spray of 100% sea water that helps to clean and restore the nose's natural defense properties;

· Vibrocil is your ally in a later stage of treatment: Depending on the source of nasal congestion, there is a nasal decongestant Vibrocil suitable for you!

Despite the congested nose, you may also experience a cough (dry or with phlegm) or even an irritated throat, so Panatosse can be your ally in relieving these symptoms:

· Panatosse natura syrup – is a 100% natural syrup with honey and several natural extracts combined that provides effective cough relief;

· Panatosse natura tablets – flavored with red fruits, they relieve not only coughs, but also sore throats and Vitamin C protects the body by contributing to the normal functioning of the immune system

 

What is a flu?

The flu is actually a respiratory infection caused by viruses that can lead to fever, headache, cough, sore throat and muscle aches.

What is the difference between the flu and the common cold?

Sometimes the terms flu and cold can be confused, given the similarity of some of their symptoms. Therefore, we help you to know how to distinguish between these two viral infections, so that you can choose the best treatment for each case:

·        Flu symptoms last longer and may be associated with fever, tremors and muscle aches;

·        The symptoms of a cold tend to last for a shorter period of time and generally involve mostly congestion and a runny nose.

What are the flu symptoms?

· Fever;

· Headache;

· Cough;

· Sore throat;

· Nasal congestion;

· Body ache.

How to treat a flu?

As we saw above, depending on the symptoms presented, there may be different solutions for you, however, in case of flu and cold, in which you have a cough with phlegm, Panadol Gripus may be the solution for you.

Panadol Gripus has 4 actions to combat flu and constipation:
