♣ Cold or allergy:
A cold is an upper respiratory infection, and it displays the typical symptoms of infection: low grade fever, purulent nasal discharge and a general malaise that last from three to five days. It also has a tendency to be transmitted from one family member to another.
Continuous episodes of sneezing with a watery nasal discharge, nasal obstruction and head congestion accompanied by a sense of fatigue that lingers for weeks or longer can be reasonably assumed to be allergic.
♣ Blanket protection:
Wool blankets are only irritating, they are notorious dust collectors.
♣ Allergic hoarseness:
Many people with allergies often experience a painless hoarseness. Look down their throat and you will find swelling and pallor rather than red, ‘angry,’ painful inflammation caused by overuse. Using an inhaler can eliminate the edema that is causing the problem.
People who use their voice professionally dingers, actors, announcers, and yes, even the President-often experience gratifying results when they use such an inhaler before speaking or singing. But it would not help if the problem is non allergic and just due to overuse.
♣ ‘Allergic ear’ relief:
Eustachian tube blockage can often be dramatically relieved with nasal sprays containing a strong decongestant, such as Ne-synephrine (0.5 percent)
Tilt the head back and to one side, turn the spray bottle upside down, and get enough f the spray into nasal passage so that you can actually taste some of it in the back of your throat. Then turn your head the other way and repeat, using the other nostril.
This technique is often dramatically effective at ending allergic ear problems, because it passes the decongestant directly over the entrance to the Eustachian area located in the nasopharynx.
During plane flights, this should be done one-half hour before a scheduled descent. For children, it should be done at the first sign of pain or discomfort, repeated in four hours and repeated again if symptoms reappear. This often aborts painful episodes of otitis media.
Wash your hands to prevent eye problem!
The skin of the fingers is notoriously resistant to allergy reactions, but the skin around the eyelids is extremely reactive. And the area of our body most often touched with the finger is the area around the eye.
Washing hands immediately after handling pets, foods and other problem substances can greatly reduce eye symptoms in allergic individuals.
To stop the itch
Two factors increase the itching in atopic dermatitis-exposure to the air and the presence of crust and scales. The best treatment attends to both factors.
Soaking in a tub filled with a handful of Epsom salts dissolved in comfortably warm water for 15 to 20 minutes several times a day removes crusts and scales. Ocean bathing can achieve the same result. Open lesions may sting a bit at first, but relief will come rapidly.
After the bath, get dry and immediately apply boric-acid ointment. In children, use Vaseline instead. It may seem messy, but it can greatly reduce itching by protecting the skin from exposure to the air.
If the grease appears to inflame the skin further, use a water soluble ointment, such as aquaphor, instead.
