Many people take megadoses
of vitamin C and other supple-
ments. Although there's no direct
evidence that vitamin C can pre-
vent colds, studies have shown
that large doses can lessen the
symptoms and shorten the course
of a cold. Other researchers are
advocating using specific foods
such as garlic, ginger, citrus fruits
and chili peppers to alleviate cold
symptoms. Some of these sub-
stances, called phytochemicals,
are being tested as possible treat-
ments for cold symptoms. In a re-
cent New York Times article, Dr.
Barbara Levine, coordinator of
clinical nutrition research at the
Sloan-Kettering MemorialCancer
Center, explains that there is
much research centered around
vitamins, minerals and phyto-
chemicals in foods that may pre-
vent and treat disease. Recently,
for example, both the Mayo Clin-
ic and Mount Sinai Medical Cen-
ter endorsed chicken soup, the
Jewish penicillin, as a way to
soothe cold symptoms and relieve
congestion. No one knows for
sure what ingredient does the
work, but tests show that it's
more effective than hot water.
When colds last longer than
a week or 10 days, or when there
are signs of a bacterial infection,
it's time to see a physician.
"It's important for people of all
ages to treat their colds careful-
ly so that they don't progress into
serious secondary complications
such as bacterial sinusitis or mid-
dle ear infections," explains Dr.
Alfred Kriendler, an internist in
Birmingham. "This has partic-
ular significance for those with
chronic diseases such as diabetes
and for the elderly, who are at
high risk. See your doctor if you
have a temperature above 101
degrees for a couple of days, if the
sputum from your nose turns
greenish or dark-yellow, and if
you have intense pain around
your eyes or in an ear. Don't take
chances."
Most people don't take colds
too seriously, even when they
have one. Doctors can do little to
help colds go away, and you
might want to think twice before
you automatically take some-
thing for your symptoms. The
best advice doesn't make head-
lines but it does make sense:
Drink lots of fluids, eat nutritious
meals and get some rest. Actual-
ly, sleeping won't cure your cold,
but if you're exhausted from the
symptoms, a good nap is in
order. ❑
