Things to avoid

Some things are best avoided when a person has a cold as they can make symptoms worse. These include:

  • Coffee: Avoid coffee and other drinks containing caffeine as they can be dehydrating.
  • Cigarettes and secondhand smoke: Steer clear of cigarette smoke, as it irritates the throat and lungs.
  • Dairy: Dairy products should be avoided, as they can add to mucus production.
  • Fried foods: It is best to avoid fried foods as they can irritate the throat.
