Colds, also known as common cold or acute coryza, are viral infections affecting the upper respiratory tract, primarily the nose and throat. Symptoms typically include sneezing, runny or blocked nose, sore throat, cough, mild fever, and body aches. They are often triggered by viral exposure, sudden weather changes, or weakened immunity. Homeopathy offers effective remedies that help alleviate symptoms naturally, depending on the nature of the cold—whether it’s dry, congested, or accompanied by fever. Biochemic remedies also aid in relieving nasal congestion, mucus buildup, and inflammation, promoting faster recovery.
