Desai recommended that two types of painkillers, paracetamol and ibuprofen, should be taken at the same time when feeling simple initial symptoms of a cold, according to the Mirror website.

The general physician explained that taking these two types together does not cause any allergies, but rather helps stop the symptoms of the common cold when they first appear.
She pointed out that most cold and flu medications contain a small percentage of paracetamol and ibuprofen, which can help lower body temperature and treat symptoms.
Desai stressed the need to follow some traditional home methods to combat a cold before symptoms worsen, which include: taking plenty of rest and sleep, in addition to drinking plenty of water throughout the day.
She stated the importance of gargling with salt water to get rid of throat pain, while washing hands constantly with soap and water, and not using tissues more than once.
As for the foods that should be eaten when suffering from a cold, they include leafy vegetables, carrots, and potatoes to get rid of a stuffy nose and sore throat because they contain vitamin A.
Consider eating citrus fruits rich in vitamin C, which strengthens immunity in fighting infections, in addition to eating chicken soup to hydrate the body and obtain important proteins and vitamins.
It is recommended to eat a cup of yogurt with honey and fruits to strengthen the immune system when exposed to colds. You can also eat a plate of oatmeal, which speeds up the recovery process from the cold as it is rich in carbohydrates, fiber, protein and vitamins.
Garlic must be added to various meals for its role in strengthening immunity, with the importance of eating eggs because they contain an abundant amount of protein, zinc and vitamin D.
