Infections caused by the rhinovirus are typically quite mild and self-limited. For this reason, the treatment for these types of infections is often focused on providing symptomatic relief. Treatment is also focused on preventing the spreading of the disease. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rest, hydration, and over the counter medications are the most common and effective forms of treatment for rhinovirus. It is not often that a person will need inpatient care for the treatment of rhinovirus. A person suffering from rhinovirus is almost always treated as an outpatient. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In some situations, a person may be referred to an allergist if the condition is chronic and not responding to pharmacologic and environmental intervention. During the course of the infection, a person may want to limit their activities. If you are suffering from symptoms of rhinovirus there are several natural remedies that can be quite helpful.

Using a neti pot can be intimidating at first, but it is one of the best home remedies for clearing out your nasal passages.

6. Eucalyptus Oil<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

When it comes to a healing oil we can thank the aborigines of Australia for this great natural remedy. It was this group of individuals who first discovered how powerful eucalyptus oil <\/a>can be when it comes to healing. Lab studies have found that eucalyptus oil provides an antimicrobial effect on the body. The antibacterial effect that eucalyptus oil provides is mainly because of a compound known as 1,8-cineole or the eucalyptol compound. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are many other bioactive constituents found in the oil as well. In order to use eucalyptus oil as a treatment for rhinovirus, you will simply want to add a few drops of the oil to your bathtub and then take a hot shower.

8. Rest<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

When you are suffering from a cold one of the most important things that you can do for your body is to make sure that you are getting enough rest. When your body is trying to fight off a virus it needs some resting time so that it has the energy <\/a>to be able to fight off the germs and help you recover from the illness. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

When you take the time to really stop and get some rest you will find that the duration of your cold will be much less. Take a day off from work and just do nothing. While you may feel like you should not call off work for a simple cold, the truth is that no one at your office really wants to be around a person who is sick anyway. If you continue to push yourself and do not take a break, your cold is only going to last longer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\r\n
