I get a lot of letters at this time of the year from people complaining
that they have a cold which won’t go away. There are so many different
stories about how to prevent or cure a cold that it’s often difficult to
know what to do. Although cold are rarely dangerous, except for people
who are already weak, such as the elderly or young babies, they are
always uncomfortable and usually most unpleasant. Of course, you can
buy lots of medicines which will help to make your cold less unpleasant,
but you must remember that nothing actually cure a cold or make it go
away faster. Another thing is that any medicine which is strong enough
to make you feel better could be dangerous. And remember they might
make you sleepy. Lastly, whatever you may be told about magic foods or
drinks, the best answer is to keep strong and healthy – you will have
less chance of catching a cold, and if you do, it should not be so bad.
