Cold Got You Down?

Three Tips to Help Manage Your Symptoms

Despite best efforts, many of us will end up catching a cold this season. What can we do to make the experience less dreadful? Here are three tips to help manage the symptoms, so you can stay productive while feeling under the weather. 

Stay Hydrated

Drinking water, juice, clear broth, or other non-caffeinated liquids can help thin out mucus and prevent dehydration, so increase your fluid intake when sick.

Rest Up

Taking downtime can help speed up your recovery. Get plenty of rest, and you'll be back to your old self sooner rather than later.

Use Over-the-counter recipes

Confused by all the options at the drugstore? Think about what troubles you the most and ask your doctor or pharmacist to suggest a medicine to help treat those symptoms.
