Replay: The Common Cold: Understanding the Virus and How To Treat it Holistically

We'll be back next week with a new guest, but as colds are always on the radar, especially over spring break, this is a Replay but important! In this conversation, Dr. Ellie discusses the common cold, its causes, symptoms, and how to manage it holistically. She emphasizes the importance of understanding how colds spread, the body's immune response, and the role of nutrition and stress management in recovery. Dr. Ellie also provides practical advice on natural remedies and when to seek medical attention for children experiencing cold symptoms. Takeaways Kiddos under age six typically get six to eight colds a year. Colds peak at three days after infection. Natural remedies like elderberry and echinacea can support the immune system. The body's immune response causes many cold symptoms, not just the virus itself. Nutrition plays a crucial role in boosting the immune system. Sleep is essential for recovery from illness. Hygiene practices like hand washing can prevent the spread of colds. Stress management techniques can enhance immune function. Seek medical attention if symptoms worsen or persist beyond typical duration. Understanding the science behind colds can alleviate parental concerns.  Chapters 00:00 Understanding Contagiousness and Cold Symptoms 21:45 Frequency of Colds in Children 22:35 Natural Remedies for Colds 28:02 Hydration and Nutrition During Illness 31:22 The Importance of Sleep and Stress Management 35:58 Recognizing When to Seek Medical Attention 43:23 Conclusion and Resources for Parents https://www.middlepathintegrativepediatrics.com/ https://www.instagram.com/middlepathpeds/
