The cold breeze is sure to give many a headache if they don’t prefer to cover their head with a scarf or cap.
As painful as it can be, it is just as annoying. Here are a few remedies that can help clear up a head cold.
First, keep yourself hydrated. Drink plenty of water. It will help clear out the mucus and promote nasal drainage thereby relieving the pain caused by cold.
Second, try warm compress. Moisten a washcloth with warm water and apply it to your face a few times a day. This will help relieve the pain.
Third, try a decongestant. Over-the-counter decongestants can help decrease swelling and congestion by opening up your nasal passages and decreasing the pain and pressure.
Fourth, take help of hot water bag. Place a hot water bag on your chest or back for five-10 minutes. The heat will help relieve the pain caused by cold.
Fifth, take steam. Cover your face with a towel and inhale the steam for about 10-15 minutes. Steam can help release the mucus and hence, eliminate the pain.
