Home Treatment Options For Cold In One Day

Treat colds and the flu with rest and home remedies

By Dinesh Kumar GuptaPublished 4 years ago 3 min read

Abdominal pain, frequent urination, hip-stinging sensation - most women have almost certainly experienced the excruciating symptoms of a cold in their lifetime. The good news is that complaints can be treated without antibiotics, with the help of some well-established home practices!

Cold or officially called cystitis is an inflammation of the bladder, which is a common type of urinary tract infection. The disease usually develops when bacteria, usually E. coli, that settle around the rectum enter the external urethra and then through the urethra into the bladder and start to multiply there. The most common symptoms of colds are frequent, urgent urination, pain when urinating, burning or stinging, and dark, cloudy, unpleasant-smelling urine. It is important to know that bacteria that multiply in the urinary tract can even reach the kidneys and cause pelvic inflammatory disease, so it is important to act immediately as soon as we notice the characteristic symptoms of a cold.

If we recognize the symptoms of colds at an early stage, we can successfully treat them at home. We show you the most useful homework practices!

Drink plenty of fluids and do not store your urine!

If you feel the warning symptoms, be sure to drink plenty of fluids - at least 2.5 decilitres of water per hour. On the one hand, a lot of fluid dilutes the urine, reducing irritation, and on the other hand, it can help “wash out” the pathogens that have accumulated in the bladder. It is important that if you feel a stimulus, do not keep it, go to the toilet immediately, because the stagnant warm urine in the bladder is an ideal medium for the growth of bacteria.

Herbal teas can also help!

In addition to drinking plenty of water, it may be worth drinking diuretic and anti-inflammatory herbal teas . Diuretic teas - nettle, rosemary, goldenrod or hibiscus - can thoroughly wash your bladder, clearing it of bacteria. Anti-inflammatory teas, by definition, help to reduce the inflammation present in the bladder. In addition to yarrow and chamomile, antibacterial bear-berry leaves can also be effective in relieving early complaints.

Compresses or bath

It can do a lot to improve our condition if we put a warm water dress on the lower abdominal area above the bladder. For the wrap, we can make an herbal decoction from chamomile tea or yarrow, in which we can dip the dressing cloth. A sitting bath can also bring relief, the beneficial effects of which can also be enhanced with a decoction of chamomile or yarrow. Sit in it for at least 20-25 minutes and do not let the water cool down!

Over-the-counter preparations containing herbal extracts

Fortunately, it is not necessary to reach for antibiotics immediately, as many herbal remedies can help alleviate the symptoms of inflammation. Examples are compositions containing bearberry extract. Bearberry leaf has been proven to be effective against E. coli, and in addition to its antibacterial effect, it also has anti-inflammatory, anti-bacterial and mild diuretic effects. The therapeutic effect of bear grapes is provided by the plant active ingredients in the extract from the leaves of the plant, the so-called hydroquinone derivatives. Although these substances have been shown to have antibacterial activity, unlike antibiotics, they do not develop resistance, so their antibacterial activity is not reduced.

Urzinol - for the treatment of acute cystitis

If, despite treatment at home, your symptoms do not improve within a few days, or if you develop severe symptoms (such as fever, bloody urine, low back pain), you should see a doctor as soon as possible.

Urzinol tablets contain a high concentration of bearberry extract , which relieves the initial, sudden, unpleasant symptoms of mild cystitis, including the urge to urinate and the bladder emptying with a burning sensation. Urzinol is a traditional herbal medicine available in a pharmacy without a prescription.
