This new sensation may only serve to distract the victim from feeling the original pain. Heat and cold are useful but these effects can be obtained more safely from warm or cold compresses. Extended or extensive use of many liniments can sensitize the skin and actually harm tissue. There are no drugs of practical effectiveness against the viruses responsible for the common cold. The best treatment is rest in bed, warm clothing and prevention of chilling. Changes of posture can help drain secretions and raise sputum (spittal). Sore throat? A safe effective remedy is to gargle with one half teaspoon of salt in eight ounces of warm water. Coughs:) higher humidity provided by a steam vaporizer brings relief. Cold mist is just as effective and there is no danger of scalding if the vaporizer is spilled. Incidently, the use of a vaporizer is an effective treatment for stuffed up noses.
