4:32 am
mucous membranes. and studies show this does not clear congestion which has other causes. congestion arises when blood vessels inside the nose dilates, swelling the mucus membranes. salt water has no effect on this. decongestant nasal spray, on the other hand, contain an ingredient that constricts the blood vessels. the swelling goes down, clearing the nasal passages for several hours. such sprays should not be used for more than a week, though, because they are addictive. experts estimate that hundreds of thousands of people are dependent on nasal sprays. this happens because receptors in the blood vessels where the active ingredients doc become less and less sensitive. the more the spray is used. a vicious cycle begins. the mucous membrane swell ever more quickly uses need more and more decongestant stray even longer. so they've recovered from that cold there's an abundance of sore throat lozenges on the market.

they contain an anesthetic that can numb the pain for a short period, which not everyone likes. and the drops often contain tiro thrice, and an antibiotic effective against bacteria, but useless against cold viruses. also, the viruses are often only in directly responsible for throat pain, which is triggered by inflammatory substances. the body produces to fight cold viruses and which send a signal to the painkillers like a spin, if you proven or paracetamol block, these inflammatory substances. so they are often recommended for a sore throat. studies is not clearly proved their effectiveness though, and it is wise to take them with caution. estron or a settle cell like acid, for example, must only be taken by adults and an over doses. paracetamol can severely damage the liver. analgesics like paracetamol have been proven effective against headaches and
4:34 am
other pain. they are often found in combined preparations. pharmaceutical companies claim that these ease all symptoms at once, they not only reduce pain, but also act as a nasal decongestant. their active ingredients include a substance that causes bays, constriction and often an antihistamine which is supposed to reduce the bodies immune response. the combined preparations, due indeed health, but uses risk side effects. the ingredients to cause vase of constriction are less effective against congestion. the nasal sprays, and they can make blood vessels throughout the body constricts, leading to high blood pressure and heart palpitations. on top of this, it's not often helpful to treat all symptoms at once. they usually appear in succession, 1st to sore throat than the headache, than the stuff he knows. so to some of

4:51 am
as well some floral quinn. a loans are still being sold, others have already been pulled from the market. the problem with the severe side effects has been known since the 19 ninety's. that's why flora quinn loans are now advised to be used only as an antibiotic of last resort. only if other antibiotics fail but this was not adhered to expend forestman and not just him. in the same year, 4200000 patients in germany were prescribed floral quinn, alones, general practitioner staff on people is an expert on the severe damage. floral quin loans can cause he now sees patients likes then foster man every day. each individual case is complex, as there has been no research and there are no recognized therapies. oh, yes,
