You do your best to stay healthy and germ free, but from time to time getting a head cold is simply unavoidable. Head colds can vary in severity, but no matter what, they always bring along with them a host of symptoms and side effects that are unpleasant and difficult to endure.The cold virus can be easily picked up anywhere and from people who many not even realize that they are carrying (and spreading) it around. Hand washing is a great tool to combat the cold, as is eating a diet rich in fruits and vegetables. Sometimes, despite your best efforts, a head cold may enter your home and leaving you feeling tired, achy and eager to be rid of the virus.
In most cases, head colds are harmless and don't usually require a visit to your physician's office. However, it is important to keep tabs on your symptoms to know when a visit to the doctor would be warranted. Head colds should not last more than a week and should not cause you to be sick in bed for days at a time. It is always important to get extra rest and take in more fluids than normal when suffering from a head cold.
