Number one reason for doctor visits
Having a bad cold is the most common condition for which people visit their doctor. Many people believe that colds are caused by bacteria, when in fact they’re caused by viruses. If a doctor prescribes an antibiotic for a cold, it is useless. To get rid of a cold, get plenty of sleep, avoid processed sugar, and drink plenty of water. Nutritional supplements that can help your body kill cold viruses include Olive Leaf Extract, Vitamin C, Vitamin D, and garlic. Call your doctor is you have a fever of 103 or greater, ear pain or eye pain, shortness of breath or a persistent, uncontrollable cough, or green or yellow phlegm or nasal discharge.
