The Common Cold: How We Catch It and Treat The Symptoms

- MEDICAL ANIMATION TRANSCRIPT: The upper respiratory tract consists of the nose, mouth, pharynx, and larynx. As air passes through them, these structures provide physical and immunologic barriers to infectious pathogens and other debris. In the nose, viruses, bacteria, and other debris stick to the mucus in the nasal passageway, while the nasal mucosa, warms and humidifies the air. The shape of the pharynx forces air to take a 90-degree turn downward. Larger airborne particles can't make the turn, so they get caught in the mucosa of the posterior wall instead. The palatine and pharyngeal tonsil contain immune cells that engulf and destroy pathogens that land on them. Air then passes through the larynx on its way to the lower respiratory tract. The common cold, also known as nasopharyngitis or acute rhinitis is the most common viral upper respiratory tract infection. Cold viruses, most commonly the rhinovirus, enter the body when contaminated hands touch the nose or mouth, or when virus-filled droplets in the air are inhaled. Then the virus invades the mucus membrane of the upper airway, resulting in an inflammation of the invaded areas. Inflammation of the nasal membranes can result in excessive mucus secretion, nasal congestion, inflammation of the paranasal sinuses, itching, and sneezing. Inflammation of the pharyngeal lining can result in a sore or scratchy throat, and painful or difficult swallowing. Laryngeal involvement can result in a cough. There is no cure for the common cold, so treatments focus on alleviating symptoms. Common lifestyle modifications include rest, and increased fluid intake. Medical options include Ibuprofen for inflammation, pain, and fever. Acetaminophen, for pain and fever. And oral decongestants, or nasal sprays to relieve nasal symptoms. Antibiotics are not used as they're only effective against bacteria, not viruses. ♪ [music] ♪

Years ago, I used to watch this channels video's over and over again and be fascinated everytime by the animations and the physiology of the human body, I'm now a 5th year med student and this channel is still great in how simply it explains different topics ❤
In my country their is medical for only 4 and a half years
With or without treatment, i get better after seven days.
dam seven days is alot.bro what immune system you got there?
2-7 days are maxm bro
Well it lasts 7 days but first 2-3 days are bad after day 4 I feel way better
@@noop-chair i 12 days.

cold is bad. nice and informative content😇
The worst thing is the aftertaste of sickness when breathe from your nose.
So imagine throughout the human history, we've advanced for cancer drugs...but simplest cold is incurable.
Seriously...
All viral infections are incurable through medication. Your immune system fights the foreign virus invasion. Hence, vaccines are given for such infections.
In case of rhinovirus, the virus itself mutates quite fast. There are over 150 variants of rhinovirus if my memory doesn't fail me therefore you need to get vaccinated everytime a new variant is discovered (almost every year).
P.S. Another virus with great mutation potential that you might have heard of is HIV.
Cold is a virus just like corona. You can't cure a virus you can only treat it.
Cold virus has single strand RNA, also the reason why covid never really left and will always haunt us
It's because there are so many common colds.
During the flu increase your intake of vitamin C to boost your immunity
I get the same symptoms from seasonal allergies but 10x worse than from the common cold
I am suffering from cold 😷 at the same time.
Can a sore throat start in the morning quickly
wait so what is the explanation behind rest and taking more fluids being effective against the virus? i mean in a general level makes sense but i wanna know the specifics
The amount of common colds I’ve had is unreal
I caught a bad cold twice within six weeks of each other over the winter, but fully recovered within a week.
❤❤❤❤❤
Made a video on stammering
❤❤❤
Every time,I’ve got common cold in this video
Nasal fever sore throat cold antibiotic teacher ji
There’s a saying:
If you catch cold, you should take medications for a week and it’ll go away, if not you’ll have to wait for a week to go away by itself😅
So it doesn't happen because of intake of cold food products or taking a cold water bath?
Of course not. You get sick from bacteria or a virus. Cold doesn't directly make you ill but it does help... but not us unfortunately but the pathogen. 😅
How water or fluids intake help to recover from common flu??? Anyone else ans pls
Damn I don’t have tonsils anymore lol
You may still have. I heard that modern surgery on tonsils is only done to trim the tonsils, not remove completely.
❤❤❤😮
Voiceover sounds like the talking computer from season one of the walking dead
Most common infection all over the world, i guess.
If its not curable by antibiotics, why do i always get back to health after taking antibiotics?
cuz you are legally insane
@@Danuxsy I expected a logical answer
Miso soup
Vitamin C
Zinc
Water
Salt water gargle
Sleep
Repeat
You cannot actually do anything else
High and frequent dosage of vitamin C (1gr hourly) and good sleep really does wonders if begun early. I've had and heard many others get rid of colds within a day.
@@yosefyitz within a day? :O it usually take like a week for me
Me if i have this symptoms i just use nasal spray with agua oxinada with a salt and water on it
🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Comment for algorithm
ive had a wretched cold for the last week, the 2 nd one i received in 6 weeks and it is absolutely horrible sensation! my throat was/is so sore it hurts to swallow, along with a hacking cough. sadly i dont think they will ever find a cure for the so called common cold. it is a nasty unwanted invasion into your body thats for sure, forget about taking remedies a cold will take its course whether or not you take anything for it. the sore throat is the worst part of it along with losing your sense of taste and smell.
I just take vitamin C, eat and take a nap😊😊😊 and I'm good.
Fun fact: when you catch a common cold, *you get sick!*
this lady sounds congested
lol
😽
Hurry up and find the cure already medical industry
It's both extremely difficult as multiple viruses cause this type of illness and they mutate incredibly quickly, and it's not a priority because it's one of the lightest sicknesses around.
@@danielszekeres8003Plus there’s too much money to be made from all of the cold medicines that are on the shelves. Think about it, if all of those medications were no longer needed that would eliminate a LOT of profits for a lot of companies. Just saying
If you treat your common cold, you will be fine in 7 days.
If you won’t, it’ll take a week.
