At Amara Clinics, Dr. Geethika Nutakki provides effective treatment for the common cold, targeting symptoms such as nasal congestion, sneezing, and sore throat. She offers medications and supportive therapies to ease discomfort while advising on hydration and rest for quicker recovery. Dr. Geethika also educates patients on preventive measures, including hand hygiene and immunity-boosting tips, to reduce the frequency of recurring colds.
Common cold symptoms include sneezing, a runny or stuffy nose, sore throat, and mild fatigue. Some individuals may also experience coughing and watery eyes. While usually mild, symptoms can cause discomfort and disrupt daily activities. Cold symptoms typically last a week and improve with rest, hydration, and over-the-counter remedies.
There is no cure, but symptom relief is key. Over-the-counter decongestants, saline nasal sprays, and antihistamines help ease congestion and sneezing. Staying hydrated and using steam inhalation can alleviate nasal blockages. Adequate rest boosts the immune response.
The common cold is a viral infection of the upper respiratory tract caused by rhinoviruses.
It spreads through direct contact with infected individuals, respiratory droplets, or touching contaminated surfaces.
Symptoms include a runny or stuffy nose, sneezing, sore throat, mild cough, and fatigue.
In some cases, a cold can lead to sinusitis, ear infections, or exacerbate asthma.
There’s no cure; symptom relief includes rest, hydration, and over-the-counter medications.
Vitamin C may reduce the severity and duration of a cold but won’t fully prevent it.
If symptoms persist over 10 days, worsen, or include high fever, seek medical care.
Frequent handwashing, avoiding sick people, and keeping your immune system strong help prevent colds.
Dr. Geethika’s Clinic in Jubilee Hills provides compassionate, personalized care, specializing in chronic conditions, preventive health, wellness, and nutrition.
