Sneezing season is upon us and that means seniors have to watch out for Covid and the Flu. Yes, sneezing can be just a cold, but seniors don’t want it to get worse.
Now, there are a number of ways to stay healthy until spring arrives such as…
Salt-water rinsing helps break up nasal congestion, while also removing virus particles and bacteria from your nose.
Gargling can moisten a sore throat and bring temporary relief. Gargle with half a teaspoon of salt dissolved in 8 ounces of warm water.
Hot liquids such as tea or the old standby, chicken soup, are particularly good for relieving nasal congestion and soothing the uncomfortably inflamed membranes that line your nose and throat. You need to drink lots of liquids when you’re sick with a cold or the flu to keep you from getting dehydrated and to help loosen mucus.
Steamy showers’ warmth and humidity can moisturize your nasal passages and may help you relax. If you’re dizzy run a steamy shower while you sit on a chair nearby and take a sponge bath. A cool mist vaporizer near your bed or the couch has a similar effect.
