I remember having a hard time in having a cold, especially when sleeping and like you have this clogged nose which bothers you alot in many ways and makes you uncomfortable. In addition, the snot that you have to contend with in the process. Sometimes a cold doesn't produce enough snot but only a blockage on your nasal passages and even though you tried or manage to expel it, the fact that you have a cold really has a nuisance against your well-being.
Before, I was treating it with a menthol rub which I dissolve in hot water and then I make a funnel out from a piece of paper, I cut off the pointy part from which I put on my nose and the wide part of the paper funnel I direct to the small basin from which I had dissolved the menthol rub and then I begin to inhale the steam with infused menthol. It somewhat offers a relief but really it does not work. After inhaling a lot off the vapors, my nasal passages still are clogged. It seems that these menthol rub preparations are a scam, they would false advertise that their product offer a cure but their product does not work for colds.
Luckily there is a fine solution for not catching cold, ever, and that is by regularly taking some vitamin C. Vitamin C is an anti-oxidant, and it means that it protects the cells from being damaged by oxygen. The effect will be for some reason gives your body a resistance to infections, catching a cold included.
Another fact that the vitamin C does for our body is protecting our skin from sun damage. It makes our skin resistant to the darkening effects of the sun's rays or at least hasten the re-enlightening of the skin if it you had been exposed for quite a while. Overall it makes the skin more fresher, and fairer.
Vitamin C works wonders for hastening the healing of wounds. If you are regularly taking it and you got a cut on your skin, it will heal faster, and so, if it does that on your skin, so maybe it does better inside your body as well. How much vitamin C then is required for you to take each day? A tablet each day is already OK as for my experience, but it is better for you to take it in divided doses, like 1/2 in the morning and the other half in the evening. The common synthetic vitamin C works. You don't have to spend much on any other antioxidants because vitamin C is just sufficient enough to make a difference especially for protecting you from ever catching a cold again.
