Colds – adults versus children
Start Colds in children

Cough, runny nose, stuffy nose, persistent headache, temperature fluctuations and general weakness are the symptoms of the common cold most often mentioned by adults and children. Viruses are to blame every time, which spread by airborne droplets, attack the body and weaken its immunity. And although the course of a cold itself is usually harmless, it cannot be ignored due to possible complications.

That is why it is worth acting as soon as possible to help the body fight viruses. And it is not an easy challenge, because in the case of viral infections, we have to be patient and try to relieve bothersome symptoms such as runny nose, cough or fever. This is why doctors talk about symptomatic treatment in the case of colds, which is used in both adults and children.

Do children and adults get colds the same?

It is worth knowing that despite the difference in age, the youngest face the same ailments and symptoms during the disease as adults. And although it is true that adults get sick about 2-4 times a year, and children 2-3 times more often, both of them require similar treatment.

OTC medications come to the rescue, such as Pelavo Med, which uses the beneficial effects of natural ingredients – in this case African pelargonium, to treat the symptoms of colds.

It is also important that the Pelavo Med syrup has the so-called good composition – that is, it contains high-quality standardized African pelargonium root extract and only the necessary auxiliary substances. We will not find any additional ingredients in it, such as sorbitol, sucrose, sodium benzoate or maltitol. However, it is safe to say that both adults and children will enjoy it, because it has a sweet, fruity taste.

It is worth remembering that in many cases home treatment and rest may be effective. However, if the symptoms of a cold do not improve within 3-4 days, it is worth consulting a pediatrician.
