Pharmacy Tips

by Charles P. Kelly B.S., R.PH. COLD FACTS Despite its name, the likelihood of catching a 'cold' is not related to the weather or season. Instead, a cold is the inflammation of the upper respiratory tract caused by a viral infection. The viruses that cause colds ( of which there are some 200 different kinds) are spread largely through hand-to­ hand contact or contact with inanimate objects. Once cold­ sufferers touch their noses, the viruses spread by touching other people or touching objects (such as telephones) that others come in contact with. Previously healthy people then get colds by bringing their contaminated hands up to their own noses, eyes, or mouths. While tt seems that more people get colds in cold weather, this is only true because bad weather brings people indoors and in closer contact with others.

Hint: Antihistamines help stop nasal secretions and thereby indirectly l l help stop the spread of colds.
