Headache from a cold.

Headaches are a common side-effect of a cold. The causes have not been conclusively determined. Scientists suspect a connection with inflammation of the nasal mucous membrane and the paranasal sinuses. Altered pressure in the airways can cause the pain: the secretions can’t run off, and this increases pressure, causing your head to start aching. In addition, headaches from a cold can be the body’s reaction to certain proteins that it produces (cytokines) which the immune system releases in the case of a viral infection.

Cough as a sign of illness.

A cough can be a normal reflex of the airways to support cleansing, but it is also a common symptom usually indicating a harmless respiratory ailment but sometimes also a more serious respiratory illness. If viruses, bacteria or other foreign bodies that have penetrated the body cause an irritation or inflammation of the mucous membrane of the respiratory tract, this swells and the bronchial tubes narrow. The increased volume of mucous can no longer be adequately discharged, the muscles cramp and react with constant coughing.

Sore throat – usually the first sign of a cold.

If your throat is feeling scratchy, this is often the first alarm signal that a cold is on its way. And often a sore throat is the unpleasant prelude to the entire scenario of a serious cold. So the big question is: Where does a sore throat come from, and what can be done about it? The nose protects the nose and throat region and the deeper respiratory tract. Inhaled air is filtered and warmed through the nose. However, if breathing through the nose is inhibited, for example by a runny nose, but also by dust, the consumption of alcohol, smoking, exhaust fumes or dry heating air, then you have to breathe more through the mouth. As a result, cold, unfiltered air enters the throat region uninhibited, and inhaled viruses or bacteria can penetrate without difficulty.

From a cold to bronchitis.

Bronchitis is the technical term for an inflammation of the lower respiratory tract, particularly the large and small bronchial tubes. The worse the inflammation, the more mucus, or phlegm, is formed by the organism. This phlegm has to be quickly liquefied and discharged so that the bronchial tubes do not become congested. Here we can get help from herbal expectorants (technical term: secretolytic agents) such as extracts of thyme and ivy leaves or from synthetic ingredients like ambroxol, bromhexine or acetylcysteine.
