Do you often catch a cold? Then you know that there is almost nothing as annoying as a cold that won't go away. Or perhaps your cold keeps coming back, driving you crazy. Fortunately, there are things you can do to treat it. We have tips for your recurring cold.

It is usually easy to determine the cause of frequent colds. And that is good, because it is no fun to have to spend days sneezing or having a sore throat. Your recurring cold could be caused by any of the following:

• A weak immune system, for example due to poor nutrition or too little sleep;
• Frequent contact with others;
• Dry air that dries out the nasal mucous membranes;
• Not washing your hands properly;
• Not recovering well enough after a cold.

All these points actually boil down to a weak immune system. When your immune system is strong, you suffer less from viruses. Fortunately, there are plenty of ways to strengthen your immune system, such as with red light therapy.

Everyone catches a cold now and then. On average, adults catch 2-4 colds a year. How often this is normal also depends on age. Children, for example, are more susceptible to this because they have yet to build up their immunity. If you catch a cold more often than average or even have chronic colds, then it is time to address the cause.

A ‘normal’ cold cannot become chronic. This is because it is caused by a temporary virus. Your body clears it up on its own. If your cold persists or you keep catching colds, something else may be going on. Perhaps you suffer from an allergy, chronic sinusitis or rhinitis.

A strong immune system is the most important thing when you want to prevent cold symptoms. Make sure you get enough nutrients such as vitamins C and D. It is also important to get enough sleep and exercise regularly. Another way to support your immune system is through intranasal red light therapy. You can read more about this later.

Although it is of course impossible (and not very pleasant) to avoid infection, you can take certain precautions. For example, wash your hands often, touch your face as little as possible and ventilate your house well.

It is important to keep your mucous membranes hydrated and your nasal passages clean. Do this by drinking enough water and possibly using nasal spray with a saline solution. In addition, steaming can help prevent congestion when you have a cold. You could add some eucalyptus oil to the water for this.

Stress, especially chronic or long-term stress, lowers your resistance. Therefore, try relaxation techniques to calm your nervous system. Do certain breathing exercises or try to incorporate meditation into your routine.

Red light therapy can strengthen the immune system and reduce inflammation. It is particularly important to use the intranasal form, which spreads red light through the body via the nose. Below you can read more about red light therapy for colds.

Yes, red light therapy can help against colds. By regularly using intranasal light therapy, you can improve blood flow, allowing your body to recover from colds faster. It can also reduce inflammation in the airways and boost your immune system. You can also use this form of light therapy preventatively, so that you may be able to avoid catching a cold altogether.
