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?

Find out about treatments for constipation:
· Nasal decongestants;
· Use of saline solutions, such as sea water;

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:
