Cold and Flu Remedies: Available Options and Indications

The term "cold" refers to a group of acute respiratory infections (ARIs), including acute respiratory viral infections (ARVIs) and influenza. These conditions are caused by various pathogens but present with similar clinical symptoms. A wide range of cold and flu remedies are used to alleviate discomfort, speed up recovery, and prevent complications. These medications belong to different pharmacological groups and vary in their mechanisms of action.

Main Causes of Colds

Colds are most commonly caused by viruses, and less frequently by bacteria and other microorganisms that can affect the entire respiratory tract, from the nose and throat to the bronchi and lungs, sometimes even the eyes.

The primary cause of ARIs and ARVIs is a weakened immune system, which normally protects the body from external threats. When immunity is low, airborne pathogens (spread through coughing, sneezing, or close contact) begin to multiply and release toxins, leading to the onset of illness.

Factors That Weaken Immunity

How Colds Develop

With a weakened immune system, infections easily enter the upper respiratory tract. Once on the mucous membranes, pathogens release toxins that spread through the bloodstream and damage healthy cells.

Common Symptoms of Colds

Over time, nasal discharge may become yellow-green and thicker. Without timely treatment, infections can spread and lead to complications such as otitis media, conjunctivitis, sinusitis, laryngitis, bronchitis, or pneumonia. Influenza may also trigger the worsening of chronic conditions or lead to secondary bacterial infections and heart complications.
