Before your sniffles morph into a nasty sinus, chest or ear infection, here’s how to fight back.

By Sari Harrar

Mugs of tea, a bottle of ibuprofen and a truckload of tissues won’t get you through every case of the sniffles. Too often, the common cold turns into something more serious, zeroing in on your personal weak point to become a sinus infection, a sore throat, a nonstop cough, an attack of bronchitis or an ear infection. And if you’re prone to a particular complication—thanks, perhaps, to an anatomical quirk (such as sinus obstructions), an underlying medical problem (early asthma, for example) or a history of a particular illness (childhood ear infections)—your odds of getting sicker, faster, can skyrocket.

But complications aren’t inevitable, new research shows. “With the right strategies, you can cut your risk significantly,” says Gailen D. Marshall, Ph.D., M.D., director of the division of clinical immunology and allergy at the University of Mississippi Medical Center in Jackson.

The trick: Act quickly. “The problem isn’t the virus replicating in your respiratory tract. The congestion and thick, trapped mucus that lead to complications are caused by the immune system’s response to the infection,” says pioneering cold researcher Jack M. Gwaltney, M.D., professor emeritus in the department of internal medicine at the University of Virginia School of Medicine. “It all begins within 10 to 12 hours after infection starts. You should take action the minute you feel the first symptoms of a cold—the scratchy throat, runny nose and sneezing.”

If you’re prone to sinus infections

Once a cold virus latches on to cells in your respiratory tract, immune system responders cause blood vessels in your nasal passages to swell and leak fluid. They also boost mucus production and slow down cilia—the microscopic hairs that normally sweep secretions out of your sinuses, ears, and lungs. “This sets the stage for a sinus infection, because viruses and, to a lesser extent, bacteria thrive in trapped mucus,” says Dr. Marshall. The best approach is to keep your nose open. “I preach to my patients all the time: If you can breathe through your nose, the likelihood of developing secondary complications will be much, much lower.” Here’s how:

Use a decongestant. Sprays containing phenylephrine (Neo-Synephrine) or oxymetazoline (Afrin) shrink swollen blood vessels in the lining of your nose, allowing mucus to drain. “Sprays work almost instantaneously,” says Dr. Marshall, “but you can’t use them long-term. After three to five days, they can cause rebound congestion—stuffiness returns just a few hours after each dose, tempting you to use the spray more and more frequently.” To avoid this, spray for no more than two or three days, then take two to three days off, he advises. “You’ll be able to use it safely for another two to three days if necessary.”

Try a pill. If you hate sprays, decongestant tablets can also clear your stuffiness, a recent Australian review of cold-remedy research has found. And they can work fast, reports a British study of 238 women and men with stuffy noses: Those who took 60 milligrams of pseudoephedrine (brand name: Sudafed) reported a 30 percent drop in congestion after just one dose. The downside is that decongestant pills make some people very jittery and they can keep you awake, so you shouldn’t take them late in the day. (Sprays don’t have these side effects because they’re topical—only a little is absorbed into the body.) Ask for pseudoephedrine at the counter: Because its ingredients can be used to make the street drug methamphetamine, federal law requires stores to keep pseudoephedrine-containing products behind the counter or locked in a cabinet. Choose one that’s just a decongestant to make sure you get the recommended 60-milligram dose—combination remedies may contain too little decongestant for maximum benefit.

Consider an antihistamine. In recent studies, antihistamines (the old-fashioned kind, like Chlor-Trimeton, not the new non-drowsy formulas) reduced nasal secretions by about 50 percent, says Dr. Gwaltney. The less gunk in your nose, the less there is to become trapped in your sinuses. He suggests taking antihistamines for up to a week; if these make you sleepy, be careful about driving and similar activities.

Thin that mucus. As a cold progresses, nasal secretions grow thicker and thicker because they are carrying away viral particles and sloughed-off respiratory and immune cells. To keep things moving, try an over-the-counter mucus thinner that contains guaifenesin (such as Mucinex), Dr. Marshall advises. “You’ll know within 48 to 72 hours whether it’s helping you,” he says. “Your mucus will be thinner, and it’ll be easier for you to blow your nose.” It’s OK to take one along with a decongestant.

Honk with finesse. Vigorous nose blowing propels nasal fluids up into your sinuses, which can actually cause an infection, Dr. Gwaltney’s studies have found. Hard blowing also triggers “reflex nasal congestion”—more nasal-passage swelling. It sounds silly, but “fewer than half the people we see know how to blow their noses the right way,” says Dr. Marshall. Here’s how: With a tissue over your nose, close one nostril and gently blow the other side for three to five seconds. Switch sides. “It may take several blows, but it works.”

Sip chicken soup. In one lab study from the Nebraska Medical Center in Omaha, researcher Stephen Rennard, M.D., discovered that his grandmother-in-law’s chicken soup recipe might help relieve some of the inflammation behind cold symptoms. In the test tube, the soup inhibited movement of white blood cells called neutrophils by 75 percent; researchers suspect that in your upper respiratory tract, this curtailed movement could translate into a reduction in cold symptoms.

Warm your sinuses. Placing a comfortably hot washcloth on your cheeks or drinking a cup of hot tea—or doing both—feels good if sinus pressure is building. Warmth may also nudge cilia, which become sluggish when you have a cold, so they sweep back and forth more briskly to whisk mucus along. Inhaling steam in a warm shower also helps, or drape a towel over your head and a basin of very hot water and breathe deeply.

Try andrographis paniculata. This herb is less well-known than other botanicals purported to fight colds, but in one Chilean study of 158 cold sufferers, nasal secretions dried up significantly for those who took 1,200 milligrams of andrographis extract daily for five days. It’s available at natural foods stores; if you try it, follow package dosing directions.

Call the doctor if you have a fever; your face or the area around your eyes is red, swollen or painful; you have a severe headache or neck pain; or your symptoms (sinus pain, pressure, yellowish discharge) haven’t improved after a week’s time.

If you’re prone to acute bronchitis

A few days after cold symptoms appear, you may notice trouble brewing in your lungs. “Upper respiratory tract infections develop in the—no surprise—upper airways and then spread to the lower,” notes Ron Eccles, Ph.D., director of the Common Cold Centre at Cardiff University in Wales. That’s why you start coughing two or three days after a cold begins—a sign your windpipe and the tiny tubes in your lungs are becoming inflamed. These steps can help protect against infection:

Steer clear of cigarettes. Smoking and inhaling secondhand smoke weaken your ability to fight off viruses and bacteria. At the same time, dozens of nasty chemicals in tobacco smoke may cause inflammation in your airways, further slowing the cilia. The result: more coughing, as you try to clear globs of mucus.

Don’t curl up in front of the fire. Breathing in the tiny particles in wood smoke can be especially irritating to airways when you have a cold, says Melvin Pratter, M.D., head of pulmonary and critical-care medicine at Cooper University Hospital in Camden, N.J. One report estimates that emissions from wood fires (as well as coal-fired power plants, cars, and other sources) cause 20,000 cases of acute bronchitis a year. If you use a wood stove for heat, be sure it burns efficiently; best is one certified by the Environmental Protection Agency.

Skip spray cleaners. Aerosol and pump-bottle products contain chemicals that can irritate lungs, says Dr. Pratter. “When you have a respiratory infection, take a brief holiday from cleaning.”

Try ivy-leaf extract. In a German study of 1,350 children and adults with chronic bronchitis, more than 85 percent of those who took this botanical remedy had less pain, coughing and mucus production. Several varieties of the extract are sold in natural foods stores.

Call the doctor if you have a fever, shortness of breath, or a severe cough; you have asthma, emphysema, or COPD; or you get bronchitis often.

If you’re prone to ear infections

They’re not just kid stuff: About a third of adults with colds wind up with negative air pressure in the middle ear caused by swelling or congestion of the eustachian tubes. These tubes normally let air into the middle ear and, if necessary, drain fluid from it. A blockage or swelling can create a vacuum so that when the tube opens up again it may suck in virus-packed secretions from your nose—and lead to an infection.

To prevent it: Start decongestants—stat! Sprays and pills that shrink swollen nasal passages can help keep your eustachian tubes open, says Dr. Marshall. Don’t waste any time: Those tiny tubes can become blocked quickly—within two to three days after a cold begins.

Don’t pop your ears. Taking a big breath, then forcing the air back into your ears while you close your mouth and hold your nose is a good trick to try when your ears need clearing on an airplane. But it’s best not to use that technique when you have a cold—you may push infected mucus into the ears.

Avoid smoke. In laboratory studies, researchers from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill found that repeated exposure to tobacco smoke (cigarettes, pipes, cigars) slowed down cilia in the eustachian tubes. “That’s not helpful if you’re trying to move mucus down the tubes and away from your middle ear,” says Birgit Winther, M.D., of the University of Virginia School of Medicine in Charlottesville.

Call the doctor if you have a fever, severe headache, dizziness, worsening pain or hearing, or there’s swelling around your ear.

Help your body heal

Give in to sleep. When you have a cold, high levels of immune system chemicals called cytokines make you sleepier than usual. Don’t fight it: Shorting your sleep for even one night blunts the body’s immune response. If a cough is keeping you up, try Advil, Aleve or another NSAID, says Dr. Gwaltney. These block prostaglandins, which experts suspect trigger the cough reflex.

Avoid intense workouts. They can make symptoms worse. But moderate activity like a 30- to 45-minute walk won’t hurt—and, by boosting immune function, could help you fend off your next cold.

Eat lightly. Your immune system dials back appetite during a cold, presumably to conserve energy and body heat for the big fight against viral invaders. Just be sure to drink plenty of fluids—they help thin mucus.

Relax. In a study of 55 people experimentally exposed to a flu virus, those who reported more stress developed more severe symptoms and released more of the immune system chemicals that cause inflammation. The same happens with cold viruses, say the researchers.

At-home Rx: Sinus Trouble: The Saline Solution

A daily saline rinse may reduce sinus symptoms by as much as 72 percent and even cut the number of infections for those with chronic sinus problems, researchers from England’s Royal National Throat, Nose and Ear Hospital concluded after reviewing a series of studies. This ancient remedy softens and removes crusty mucus, thins nasal secretions, and helps wash away viral particles, bacteria, and irritating immune system compounds. You can purchase a sinus-rinsing tool called a neti pot at a natural foods store, get a special attachment for electric water-jet irrigators (like Water Pik), use a squeeze-bottle sinus rinse (such as NeilMed rinse), or simply cup your hand to deliver the saline solution to your nose.

The recipe: Mix 1/2 teaspoon non-iodized salt, plus 1 pinch baking soda, with 8 ounces warm water.

Rinsing directions: Lean over the sink with your head down (some neti-pot instructions advise tilting your head to the side slightly). Gently squirt the saline into each nostril (or inhale, one nostril at a time, from your palm). Breathing through your mouth at the same time will help keep the solution from entering your mouth. (If it does get in, spit it out.) Gently blow your nose. Repeat until you’ve used the 8 ounces of salt water.

Given the current H1N1 flu pandemic, Indiana State Health Commissioner Judy Monroe, M.D. says there’s never been a better time to quit smoking.

“Smoking damages your lung tissue, making you more susceptible to lung infections like bronchitis and pneumonia, which may complicate an influenza infection,” said Dr. Monroe. “Damaged lung tissue does not heal as efficiently after an infection as healthy lung tissue. Smoking also suppresses your immune system, making a smoker more susceptible to getting the flu in the first place.”

“When we look at the hospitalizations and deaths from the 2009 H1N1 flu, we can clearly see the negative impact chronic diseases, including tobacco-related illnesses, have on a person’s risk to develop serious illness or to die from the flu,” said Dr. Monroe.

In fact, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has targeted individuals aged 25-64 with underlying medical conditions, like asthma or Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), to be among the first to get the 2009 H1N1 flu vaccine as they are at higher risk for influenza-related complications.

Pregnant women are also targeted to be among the first to receive the H1N1 flu vaccine. According to the CDC, pregnant women are at a higher risk to get the flu and to have severe complications, including preterm labor, severe pneumonia, fetal distress, and even maternal death. Smoking during pregnancy can increase these risks, according to Dr. Monroe.

“Unfortunately, there are counties in our state with significantly higher than average rates of women who are pregnant and smoke,” said Dr. Monroe. “We know pregnant women are at higher risk of complications from the flu, and smoking can only compound the threat.”

“Our goal is to help Hoosiers live longer, healthier lives,” said Karla Sneegas, executive director, Indiana Tobacco Prevention and Cessation agency. “We know current economic issues in the nation are likely causing extra stress for individuals, which can make it even more difficult to quit. However, we want Hoosiers to know, if you are ready to quit smoking, we are here to help.

“The first step in quitting can be as simple as picking up the phone,” said Sneegas. “The free Indiana Tobacco Quitline – 1-800-QUIT-NOW – is available from 7 a.m. – 3 a.m. seven days a week with highly trained quit coaches ready to help with advice and tips designed to help callers quit for life.”

“Our goal is not only to help people quit using tobacco, but to assist their family and friends as well. A strong support network is critical to success in quitting,” added Sneegas.

In dieser Jahreszeit gibt wohl kaum jemanden, den es nicht doch irgendwann erwischt: es muss ja nicht gleich die sogenannte Schweinegrippe sein, aber ein grippaler Infekt kann einen ganz schön aus der Bahn werfen.

Nervig ist dabei auf jeden Fall hartnäckig festsitzender Schleim, entweder auf den Bronchien oder in den Nebenhöhlen.

Für alle, die kein Geld in der Apotheke lassen wollen oder können, hier ein super Tipp: Zwiebelsaft.

Einfach eine Hälfte einer mittelgroßen Zwiebel häuten, kleinschneiden, in eine Tasse geben, 3 TL Zucker drüberstreuen und ein paar Stunden ziehen lassen. Ich decke das Ganze immer mit einer Untertasse ab.

Wenn der Saft raus ist, das Zwiebelfleisch rausnehmen, etwas auswringen.

Der Saft schmeckt wirklich nicht schlimm, schön süß. Man sollte das Ganze mehrmals am Tag wiederholen. Es dauert zwar ein paar Tage, aber die Wirkung ist schon beeindruckend!

Absolut empfehlenswert!

When an asthmatic “attack” happens the person struggles for every breath, literally gasping and wheezing for life.

Attacks are usually triggered by allergies or stress. “Puffers” containing strong steroids are usually given to decrease inflammation but can also cause severe side effects such as tremors, abnormal heart rhythm, and bronchitis.

For over 100 years, people suffering from asthma and bronchitis have sung the praises of chiropractic care.  Research has shown that chiropractic care; decreases medication used, decreases incidence of attacks and increases lung volume, by ensuring that the lungs receive uninterrupted nerve flow from the brain.

To learn more about how a safe, gentle and scientific, Chiropractic adjustment could TRANSFORM your health contact your chiropractor.

I survived the swine flu. I returned to work on 11.7 but did not make it through the entire day. Back to doctor I went, only to find out that I had bronchitis. Again, I was out of work for a full week.

I’m happy to say that I’m back in my routine now. Today is the first day, since getting sick, that I actually feel good. It’s a good thing because I have little patience for being sick, especially when you are so contagious that you can’t even leave your house.

See, I knew I was meant to be a doctor. My diagnosis was correct: I have bronchitis. And my son has pneumonia. The baby girl has a crusty eye. We’re a house full of sickness. Self-imposed quarantine? (Actually, I’m quite certain my son and I are past the infectious stages, but still…)

Please send your good vibes my way, people. Not only am I embarking on an endless plane ride halfway around the world with an infant tomorrow, but I am doing it with bronchitis and pink eye. You know, they have quarantines in Korea for people who arrive with “flu-like symptoms”, so we’re going to down cough syrup and go crazy with cough drops prior to customs.

All I can say is, “Yikes”. Luckily, the hubby only has a cold (!) and should be able to handle the baby much of the plane ride so I don’t pass on that good old pal, conjunctivitis.

What a great way to start off a trip, right?

I can’t wait to experience all the food, sights and shopping in Seoul. Keep visiting the site – I should be updating soon!

Hi Friends and Fellow Bloggers!

I haven’t been around much lately. It seems that I am infected from head to butt. I’ve been feeling crappy lately. I finally went to an Urgent Care Clinic to get the scoop on the poop (which has been a lot).

I’m apparently eaten up with infection in almost every hole, pouch, and pocket in my body.

Here’s the list….

I’ve got bronchitis…AGAIN!

I’ve got an infected tooth. Still waiting for the referral from my dentist to a periodontist.

Last but not least….I have Diverticulitis  which .is swelling (inflammation) of an abnormal pouch
(diverticulum) in the intestinal wall.

I’m taking 2 antibiotics, cough syrup, and using an inhaler. I’m a mess. And, I have so many things that I need to do. If you pray, say one for me.

I have no energy so once again, I am taking the easy way out and posting a youtube video about Christmas. It’s not sleek and professional but has a great message about Christmas. I hope you will take time to listen to it.

As for me….back to laying on the sofa that close to the bathroom.

Hopefully, I’ll be back to normal by Christmas!

Bronchitis is a condition which involves the lung tissues becoming inflamed.  Diet can help prevent it by strengthening the immune system and maintaining healthy lung tissue. 

Your first step should be to stop smoking, if necessary.  If you share a home with a smoker, you will benefit from them stopping smoking as even second-hand smoke will aggravate the condition. 

You should follow a healthy, balanced diet providing a selection of fruits and vegetables, whole foods and lean protein (ideally from lightly cooked oily fish including mackerel, herring and salmon).  You may benefit from avoiding mucus-forming foods such as milk and milk products.  You will need to limit your intake of saturated fat, and receive essential fats from seeds (pumpkin, sunflower, flax) and their cold pressed oils.  You should drink plenty of water to hydrate and cleanse the body.

Supplements will be very important in allowing your body to return to good health.  The specific supplement programme will vary from person to person.  For your unique supplement programme, contact me at katiektk@hotmail.co.uk

It is usual for some doctors to prescribe antibiotics in some diseases even if they aren’t necessary. Antibiotics have been prescribed for years in acute Bronchitis too, but they are not a solution for this disease.

Bronchitis is caused by the inflammation of the bronchi of the lungs as a result of influenza or a cold and it is characterized by a persistent and frustrating cough.This occurs especially in winter because of the cold air, or even by breathing a polluted atmosphere air or by smoking.

Usually the agents that produce Bronchitis are viruses, bacteria or fungi so this is one of the causes why this disease doesn’t respond to the treatment with antibiotics. There are also medicine articles and books which doesn’t support the prescription of antibiotics in Bronchitis.

To choose an appropriate treatment for a short -term Bronchitis it is recommended to be taken in consideration all the aspects of the disease. First of all it is a pulmonary disease and the lungs are vital organs and it is also very important to know the agent that produced the disease. The treatment strategies must be related to individuals, pathology and diagnosis.

There are two kinds of Bronchitis regarding the agent that caused them. We can speak about a Bronchitis caused by viruses and which doesn’t respond to the antibiotics treatment, and a Bronchitis caused by bacteria, such as whooping cough which respond to the antibiotic therapy. The treatment is not for a very long time, it lasts for five to ten days.

Sometimes people think that if the doctor prescribe them a lot of medication they’ll be cured, but this is not a rule. In acute Bronchitis it is not necessary to prescribe a lot of medication, it is just important to understand the cause of the disease.

A wrong prescription of antibiotics treatment can have a lot of negative consequences. First of all antibiotics are expensive and they may cause adverse side effects such as abdominal pain, diarrhea and rash. All this may require further treatment. If the administration of antibiotics lasts for a long period, they can induce resistance and the treatment against other infections becomes useful.

In the history of medicine there are a lot of doctors who prescribed antibiotics for the patients with acute bronchitis and there was no beneficial result for them. Patients waited to be cured , but their condition was even worsen. But there are also some situations when the patients are looking for the doctor to prescribe antibiotics and when they receive a prescription without antibiotics they don’t trust the doctor anymore. So it is very good for the doctor to inform the patients about all the aspects of the treatment and to make them to understand that antibiotics are not always the best choice.

Because one of the symptoms characteristic for Bronchitis is cough, doctors prescribes anti-tusives. This must be a good choice, but studies and patient’s reaction showed very little effect.

ROSEHIPS
Rosa canina
Rosehips are one of the most natural and freely available sources of vitamin C, as well as containing other important vitamins, minerals and trace elements.  Its richness in vitamin C makes it especially attractive in the fight against infections, sore throat and as a preventive measure against colds.  Traditionally recommends for urinary tract infections, rheumatism, gout, kidney disease, water retention and sciatica, as well as a general aid against exhaustion. Rosehips have a mild laxative and slight diuretic quality.

SIBERIAN GINSENG
Eleutherococcus senticosus
Used in China for over 5000 years, Siberian ginseng has been used as a cure-all for a wide variety of ills.  It is one of the best herbs for the heart and vascular system, increasing blood flow to the heart and lowering blood pressure.  World famous athletes seek out this superior herb for all its restorative and regenerative abilities.  When used regularly, Siberian ginseng helps to regulate and harmonize the entire body by increasing the entire body’s energy and healing abilities.  In Asia, Siberian ginseng is generally accepted treatment in the care of those who have undergone surgery, severe illness, and exhaustion. It helps to prevent a wide variety of debilitating conditions such as diabetes, cancer and cardiovascular disease, and it also has the ability to normalize blood pressure.

THYME
Thymus vulgaris
Used from the middle ages onward for its medicinal properties, thyme’s antispasmodic and expectorant properties have been relied upon to treat chronic bronchitis (helping to loosen phlegm and combat bronchial spasm), bronchial asthma, reducing hay fever, chronic gastritis and digestive disorders.  As an antiseptic and antibacterial, thyme has been used in the treatment of inflamed sinuses, nose, throat, and larynx, and has a history as a remedy for whooping cough.

WILD CHERRY
Prunus serotina
Generally used as a pain reliever, wild cherry’s most popular claim to fame is that this herb is well known to break down and expel kidney stones.  Wild cherry contains beta carotene and vitamin A.  Long valued as a treatment against colds, coughs, and diarrhea, it is also used in the treatment of lung ailments, in particular, the treatment of whooping cough, bronchitis, pneumonia and other similar disorders.  Herbalists today recommend wild cherry for respiratory ailments such as coughs, colds and bronchitis, and consider it effective for calming effect, relieving anxiety, stress and sleeplessness.

YARROW
Achillea millefolium
Used since medieval times, yarrow was looked upon as a headache cure, its anti-inflammatory properties seeming to have the ability to reduce headaches and blood clotting.  Yarrow has been one of the most popular treatments for arthritis and related conditions, alleviating painful inflammation of tissues and joints.  Historically it has also been used to fight bacterial invasion and treat wounds.  Yarrow has also been used to soothe and quiet the digestive system.  Because of the substances contained in yarrow, a feeling of peace and relaxation have been known to be replicated thus making it effective in treating sleeping disorders.  This also makes yarrow particularly beneficial in the treatment of some of the effects of menopause.

YELLOW GENTIAN
Gentiana lutea
Used in the Middle Ages as an antidote for certain poisons and in the treatment of gout and rheumatism, this herb id thought to have antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties.  Said to stimulate the appetite, promote secretion of salivary, gastric, liver, pancreatic and intestinal juices, it accelerates emptying of the stomach and alleviates indigestion, bloating and flatulence.  In its original state, yellow gentian is a very bitter testing herb.  For centuries it has been used to stimulate the gallbladder and pancreas as well as the stomach, improving digestive and liver function.
