🔴 COMMON COLD AS NATURAL HEALING PROCESS
Believe it or not, those annoying symptoms you're experiencing are part of the natural healing process -- evidence that the immune system is battling illness. For instance, a fever is your body's way of trying to kill viruses by creating a hotter-than-normal environment. Also, a fever's hot environment makes germ-killing proteins in your blood circulate more quickly.
Coughing is another productive symptom; it clears your breathing passages of thick mucus that can carry germs to your lungs and the rest of your body.
These symptoms are normal but these can irritate you so you can avoid it through home remedies which are:

• 👉🏻Using warm salt water for gargling
• 👉🏻Taking warm shower
• 👉🏻Using ginger
• 👉🏻Taking chicken soup
