What are cold complications?
Cold complications are serious secondary infections caused by excessive bacteria when you have a cold.
Mucus that sits in the nose and chest during a cold can be a breeding ground for harmful bacteria. The bacteria in the nose and throat normally occur in very low numbers, but during the course of a cold, the bacteria can build up over a period of one week to 10 days. By this time, either the cold will begin to resolve and the mucus will go away, as well as the bacteria, or the bacteria will grow enough to cause a secondary bacterial infection.
These bacterial complications of colds can affect the sinuses, chest, or ears and can lead on to serious health problems such as sinus infection, asthma attacks, bronchitis, tonsilitis, ear infection and even pneumonia.
For people with chronic health conditions such as asthma, heart disease or diabetes the risk is even greater. That’s why it’s important to take preventative treatment and boost your immunity strength with Buccaline.
For ultimate protection during the cold season take Buccaline in March and another booster dose in June. The tablets should be swallowed whole with some liquid, preferably one hour before breakfast or lunch.
