First steps

In case of colds, first of all, you need to stay at home for at least 1 day. This time is required to restore the body, get rid of unpleasant symptoms.

After the issue with an additional day off has been settled, it is necessary to start treatment at home. The therapy as a whole will be quite intense, since you need to have time to recover in just a day and complete a treatment program that is actually designed for a week.

To quickly get rid of a cold, you need to do the following:

The first symptoms of a viral infection

As you know, the causative agents of colds, ARVI are viral microorganisms that spread from a sick person by airborne droplets and penetrate into a healthy body, primarily through the respiratory system – the nose and throat. The virus can be defeated very quickly, without allowing it to spread further than the nasopharyngeal mucosa.

How to cure a cold in one day? You need to pay attention to the first signs of a cold:

weakness, malaise;
slight chills, bone aches;
sore nose and throat;
fever, headache.

If you do not take action immediately, after a couple of days the virus will affect the entire body, the condition will worsen and the treatment will drag on for several days. Timely complex therapy will cure a cold in 1 day.

Alternative treatment for colds with garlic is an effective remedy for adults.

For some people, garlic can help cure colds in 1 night.

The woman caught a bad cold in the country, at home she felt that she was getting sick. I measured the temperature – 37.2. I decided to treat myself with garlic. I took a crust of bread, rubbed it abundantly with garlic and salt, ate it, chewing it thoroughly and without drinking anything, and ate another garlic creeper just like that. The temperature began to drop. When I went to bed, I felt already healthy. The next day, the temperature remained normal, just in case I ate the same sandwich again. The disease was avoided. (HLS 2014, No. 22 p. 31).
If you feel unwell, grate a clove of garlic and inhale its phytoncides for 10-15 minutes, do this several times a day. If your eyes burn, cover them with a towel. Grated onions, horseradish, radishes (sniff, keep in mouth) help to cure colds.
On the street, you will be protected by garlic, cut into strips and attached with an adhesive plaster to your foot. When walking, the garlic softens, the juice is absorbed into the skin, and the blood carries garlic phytoncides throughout the body, providing a healing effect. (HLS 2012, No. 18, p. 6).

Ordinary pasta will help you quickly cure a cold! Boil the pasta, add the grated garlic, and eat it hot – an excellent diaphoretic and disinfectant. (HLS 2004, No. 10 p. 18,).

How to cure a cough for a cold in a day?

When a cough is the first sign that you have a cold, you should start by rubbing your back and chest with ointments that contain essential oils that are disinfecting, distracting and irritating.

You can rub the chest area overnight with a mixture of castor oil (2 tablespoons) with turpentine (1 tablespoon) or ready-made pharmacy turpentine ointment. This remedy is rubbed into the skin of the chest (except for the heart area) and into the soles of the feet, wrapped up warmly. With the help of two or three rubbing, you can cure a cough with a cold almost in a day. But it should be borne in mind that such procedures cannot be carried out at elevated temperatures.

Badger fat has proved to be an irreplaceable remedy for coughs (and not only). Due to its composition, badger fat has a tonic, anti-inflammatory and even immunostimulating effect on the human body. This fat should be rubbed on the back and chest area at night. And in folk medicine such a recipe is very popular: mix 100 g of badger fat, honey and cocoa powder with 50 g of butter and 50 g of chopped leaves of aloe (agave). Add 5 g of mummy and propolis, as well as 50 g of medical alcohol. Mix all ingredients until smooth.

For the treatment of cough for colds, 1 teaspoon of this mixture is diluted in a glass of water and rubbed overnight on the back, chest and calf muscles. And for internal use – as a powerful tonic – 1 tbsp. a spoonful of the mixture is dissolved in a glass of hot milk and drunk in small sips (before eating).

Instead of tea for the treatment of cough for colds, you need to drink decoctions of medicinal herbs: oregano, coltsfoot, elecampane, sweet clover, thyme, peppermint. A handful of herbs are taken in a glass of boiling water and brewed like tea, which, after 15 minutes of infusion, is ready for use – a glass three times a day. Special chest coughs are available at pharmacies. For example, “Breast collection №1” contains marshmallow root, coltsfoot leaves and oregano herb; and in “Breast collection No. 2” – the leaves of coltsfoot, leaves of plantain and licorice root. These herbal medicines are available in filter bags and are very easy to brew.

A good remedy for severe coughs is fresh black radish juice, which has anti-inflammatory and expectorant properties. The radish must be washed, peeled and finely chopped. Then mix with granulated sugar in a 1: 1 ratio and put in a jar, tightly closed with a lid. After 4-5 hours, the radish will give a healing juice, which must be taken – 1 tablespoon at least three times during the day.

One of the most effective cough treatment methods is steam inhalation. For example, with eucalyptus, mint, juniper or pine oil. Put a few drops of oil in a bowl of boiling water, sit down, tilt your head over the container, cover yourself with a towel and breathe in the steam. These simple home treatments have antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, expectorant and bronchodilator effects.

Aerosol inhalations, which are carried out using pocket inhalers, are also useful. Most often, the mixtures include essential oils (menthol, anise, eucalyptus, peach), as well as natural honey and propolis (alcohol solution). Here is a recipe for honey inhalation with propolis: Dissolve 1-2 teaspoons of honey in 0.5 cups of boiled water and drip 6-8 drops of propolis. Water can be replaced with a 0.2% furacilin solution. The duration of the procedure is 5 minutes.

If we talk about pharmaceutical cough remedies, then drugs such as Glauvent, Libexin or Tusuprex inhibit the cough reflex, but do not depress breathing. And “Tusuprex” has not only an antitussive effect, but also a weak expectorant. Doctors recommend taking these medicines three times a day, one tablet.

The group of drugs with enveloping, expectorant and mucolytic (thinning phlegm) effects include “Acetylcysteine”, “Bromhexine”, “Ambroxol” (synonym “Lazolvan”), etc. Remember that many drugs have side effects and often more than one. It is for this reason that drugs for the treatment of cough for colds are recommended to be taken after consulting a doctor.

Additional measures to cure a cold

You can also add a pinch of baking soda, honey, and butter to a glass of hot milk to cure a cold. The mixture should be taken before bed, covered with several blankets to get a good sweat. After this procedure, you will notice that the next day your well-being will improve significantly.
Another effective way to help increase the body's resistance to disease is to eat two lemons with honey or dragees, which contain the required amount of vitamin C. If desired, several citruses can be boiled in a container filled with three liters of water, adding honey or sugar to it. However, it should be borne in mind that this option is recommended only for those who do not have gastric ailments.
Mustard is another remedy that can help cure colds. You can sprinkle it in warm woolen socks and wear them before bed, or take a hot foot bath with it.
During a cold, it is very important to remove all harmful toxins from the body. For this purpose, you can prepare compote from any dried fruits. A drink made from dried apricots and apples contains amino acids and iron, allowing the patient to recuperate, and the compote from prunes and raisins is rich in fructose and glucose, and in addition, such a composition has a positive effect on the state of the stomach. It is recommended to drink the drink warm and preferably lying under a blanket in order to sweat properly. In order for the positive effect to be noticeable the next day, it is recommended to drink compote in sufficiently large quantities.

General recommendations for health improvement

In order to recover faster and prevent the appearance of weakness after a cold, a number of recommendations must be followed during the period of illness:

Observe bed rest. The body spends quite a lot of energy to fight the disease, therefore it needs good rest. If you continue to lead a normal life, there is a risk of complications – pathologies of the nervous system, digestive organs, heart and blood vessels.
Drink a lot. Thanks to this, it will be possible to remove the decay products of pathogenic agents and strengthen the immune system. It is advisable to use dried fruit compote, infusions of medicinal plants – linden, chamomile, calendula. Drinks made from berries – raspberries or currants – are no less useful.
Stick to a diet. Fatty, spicy, fried foods should be excluded from the diet. The diet should be based on light steamed foods. It is also worth including in the menu fermented milk products, low-fat broths, boiled vegetables, cereals. Doctors advise to completely stop drinking alcohol, coffee and smoking.
Do inhalation, often ventilate the room, walk in the fresh air.

Increase your vitamin C intake

Vitamin C is an antioxidant vitamin that boosts immunity and fights free radical damage caused by toxins and pollutants. Regular intake of vitamin C can help fight colds, flu, and other chronic infections.

Studies have shown that a high dose of up to 2000 mg of vitamin C per day can help fight bronchitis. At the first sign of illness, take vitamin C and keep taking it for several days, even though you feel better. If you develop diarrhea, reduce your dose and take up to 1000 mg daily until you feel better.

Drink lemon juice

Lemon juice is one of the best natural remedies for colds. Drinking vitamin C-rich lemon or lime juice can help you cure a cold quickly.

At the first sign of a cold, squeeze a whole lemon into a glass of warm water and add some honey. Drink this drink at least 6 times a day until you feel better. Lemon juice reduces toxicity in the body and strengthens the immune system, which begins to fight bacteria and viruses more effectively. This helps to shorten the duration of the cold, and you start to feel significantly better.
You can also use fried lemons to cure a cold in 1 day. Just roast 2-3 lemons in a hot oven until the skin is cracked. Once this starts to happen, extract the juice and sweeten it with honey. Drink a teaspoon of this remedy before meals and again before bed to quickly heal colds and coughs. For very bad colds, take sweetened lemon juice 3 times a day.
For chills and fever, slice half a dozen lemons. Add the slices to boiling water. Boil the mixture for at least 30 minutes. Strain. Drink a teaspoon of lemon water every two hours until the chills have subsided.

Eat hot soups

If you don't know how to cure a cold in 1 day, you can use this time-tested method. You can have any homemade hot soup you like, but garlic and chicken soup work best.

Ginger

Like garlic, ginger is another great natural remedy that can reduce the duration of a cold. Ginger will also help you if you have a sore throat or cough.

Chop fresh ginger root and add it to a cup of hot water. Add some maple syrup, honey, or stevia to sweeten the tea.

Drink this tea for colds 3-4 times throughout the day until you feel better. Ginger not only fights cold symptoms and acts as a decongestant; it is also an excellent remedy for indigestion.

Take echinacea

If you want to learn how to treat colds with folk remedies that also work flawlessly, try echinacea. Echinacea is one of the best herbal remedies for fighting colds, coughs and flu viruses. Echinacea is available in several forms today, such as tea, tinctures, or tablets. Do not use echinacea for more than 12 weeks.

Patients with autoimmune diseases such as systemic lupus erythematosus or multiple sclerosis should avoid taking echinacea. Also, avoid using products based on this plant if you are allergic to chamomile or other similar plant families.

Use a neti pot

You can use neti sweat, which is used to rinse your nose, to relieve nasal congestion and accumulation of mucus and pus in your sinuses. Fill the neti sweat with warm water and add a teaspoon of salt to it.

Tilt your head to the right side, place the nose in the left nostril and start pouring water into it. Water should come out of the opposite nostril. Repeat the same procedure on the other side. You may need to practice using neti pot correctly. After a few tries, you will become an expert! Use neti sweat regularly to clear mucus from your nasal airways and sinuses.

Use baking soda

Some of the best natural remedies that can help you get rid of a cold quickly include baking soda. You can use baking soda to fight colds in a variety of ways. For example:

You can add some baking soda and salt to warm water and use this solution as a nasal rinse. Simply fill a clean syringe with this solution and flush your nostrils. This will help you get rid of allergens such as mold and dust that can cause cold symptoms.
You can also drink warm water with baking soda added to make your body more alkaline. When your body's pH shifts towards the alkaline side, it helps it fight inflammation and infections more effectively.
You can also gargle with water containing a teaspoon of baking soda and 2 aspirin tablets. Gargling with this solution at least 3-4 times a day helps to quickly get rid of colds, coughs and flu.

Make a breast rub using essential oils

Buy high quality essential oils like camphor, eucalyptus, and menthol. These are natural decongestants that can help those with chronic colds. Make your own chest rub with these essential oils.

If oils are highly concentrated, they can irritate the skin; so first try putting a small drop on your wrist and wait for 30 minutes. If there are no signs of irritation on the skin, then you can safely use these oils. Before applying the mixture to your forehead and chest, you can also thin out the oils using some base oils such as coconut oil or corn oil. Also apply to temples, under the nose, pulsating points and neck.

Ambulance at the first symptoms

When it becomes clear that the infection has occurred, it is not necessary to go to the hospital, since at the first stage you can get rid of a cold at home on your own.

Get well soon with home first aid. The first day of the illness is a tipping point when the illness recedes or it will continue.

The first steps to be taken are:

Measure your body temperature. It is not necessary to bring down the temperature if it is below 38ºC, since the body must be given the opportunity to overcome the disease on its own. You do not need to take antipyretic medications right away, otherwise the virus can worsen.
Vitamin C is recognized as an effective and safe remedy for combating ARI viruses. It can help the immune system to weaken the common cold. During this period, it is recommended to eat a lot of lemons, oranges, persimmons, as well as drink drinks containing this vitamin, for example, raspberry or currant compote, uzvar or tea.

All these measures lead to increased sweating, which must be achieved in the first hours of the illness.

Keep warm and sweat

Sweating has an important function – it increases blood circulation, preventing the temperature from increasing, while destroying the virus.

This method does not work if the body temperature has reached 38 ° C. At this point, the patient loses a lot of fluid, there is a load on the body, and side reactions may develop.

To sweat better for colds, take a hot bath for 20 minutes, then dry off, dress and go to bed under a warm blanket, wearing warm socks on your feet.

A good way to sweat quickly is to drink plenty of hot drinks with honey, then wrap yourself in a blanket, repeat after an hour.

Tea with raspberries and ginger works well on perspiration. They help you get well sooner.

We definitely treat a runny nose

As already mentioned, infection with a viral infection occurs through the respiratory system, therefore, first of all, it is necessary to “block access” to bacteria to the body and destroy those that have already penetrated. To do this, rinse your nose with warm disinfectants every 1.5 – 2 hours:

saline solution – 1 tsp. salt in a glass of warm water;
soda salt solution;
hydrogen peroxide solution – 20 drops per 200 g of warm water;
decoctions of medicinal herbs – chamomile, eucalyptus (1 table spoon is poured with a glass of boiling water and insisted for 30 minutes).

If you take it as a rule not only to wash your hands several times during the day, but also to rinse your nose with plain warm tap water, the risk of catching colds will be much reduced.

After washing, it is necessary to drip the nose with drops that increase immunity and suppress the virus: Grippferon (based on interferon), Protargol (with silver ions), IRS-19 (increases immunity) and others. You can use effective improvised means that will also help cure a cold in 1 day – beet juice, Kalanchoe juice, olive oil. These funds will relieve nasal congestion, soften breathing.

Cold treatment in one day: keep warm and sweat

If you are cold, the first step is to get warm. Frozen feet will be perfectly warmed by a hot bath with mustard – what we simply call “steam your feet”. In a bowl of hot water (not lower than + 40-42 ° C), dissolve a spoon and a half of mustard powder and hold the legs for 15 minutes, adding hot water as needed. After that, you need to thoroughly wipe your feet dry, put on woolen socks and lie under a warm blanket. Instead of a hot foot bath, you can simply pour mustard powder into your socks and go to bed. And if you don't have dry mustard on hand, rub your feet with vodka and put on warm socks.

We warm our chilled hands under running hot water: five minutes, raising the temperature from pleasantly warm to hot (+ 42-43 ° С). Then we wipe our hands dry and put on something warm with long sleeves. To enhance the effect, you can put on warm mittens on your hands and spend the next 60 minutes wrapped in a woolen blanket.

To sweat, and therefore get rid of toxins and try to cure a cold in a day, the body needs more fluid than usual. Therefore, we will drink – exclusively hot: tea with raspberry jam, tea with lemon and honey, decoction of linden blossom, thyme, chamomile or elderberry flowers with mint. It is not difficult to prepare decoctions of medicinal plants: take 2 tbsp for a glass of boiling water. dry spoons or herbs, brew with boiling water, cover and let it brew for 15-20 minutes. Herbal teas for colds are drunk at 0.5 liters per day. And the total daily volume of fluid for symptoms of a cold or ODS should be at least two liters.

“Just in case” you measured the temperature and saw that the thermometer went up – do not panic. If the body temperature does not exceed + 38 ° C, then doctors do not advise bringing it down, because an increase in temperature is evidence that a person's immunity has begun to fight the disease. And we can and should help him cure a cold in one day, for example, by drinking hot tea with ginger root, which strengthens the body's immune system and prevents infections from developing. To prepare ginger tea, peel a piece of root 2 cm long, cut it finely, put it in a cup with tea leaves, pour 200-250 ml of boiling water and let it brew for 15 minutes. You can add a slice of lemon and a teaspoon of natural honey to this healing drink.

By the way, after you sweat, be sure to wipe your skin with a well-wrung out hot towel – to remove the released toxins, and change into dry clothes.
