Really? About… Does rain cause colds? Symptoms and basic ways to cope with the flu.

During the rainy season, we often hear the phrase “Don’t get wet, or you’ll catch a cold.” But is it true that rain can actually cause us to catch a cold?

The common cold is caused by a viral infection in the upper respiratory tract. During rainy weather, there is rain and strong winds, which may carry the viruses that cause the common cold. Additionally, the decrease in temperature can make the nasal passages cooler and more conducive to the replication of viruses. Furthermore, coming into contact with a high concentration of viruses before the rain falls can weaken the body’s immune response, making it unable to fight off the viruses effectively. This can result in symptoms such as nasal congestion, runny nose, and a sore throat.

Early signs indicating that you may have a cold include:

  • Sore throat
  • Nasal congestion or runny nose
  • Cough with mucus
  • Mild fever or slight headache

Symptoms of the common cold typically last for no more than 1-2 weeks. Although they are not usually severe, they can still be contagious, especially among individuals who are in close proximity to each other. Transmission can occur through shared items or by inhaling air containing droplets of nasal mucus or saliva from someone who is sick. This is often observed in environments such as schools, factories, or large offices.

Treatment and management for the common cold include:

  • Getting plenty of rest
  • Dressing warmly to keep your body warm and avoiding exposure to rain or cold environments
  • Drinking plenty of fluids to help reduce fever and replace lost fluids
  • Taking medication as needed according to the advice of a doctor or pharmacist

Therefore, for good health and strength, it’s important to take care of ourselves by consuming a balanced diet, engaging in regular exercise, and getting adequate rest. This helps to strengthen the immune system and reduce the risk of contracting viruses spread in the air. However, if avoiding rain is not possible, remember to warm up and dry off immediately upon returning home. With best wishes from Paradigm Pharma.
