With a fever, it usually passes or breaks when the body generates enough heat to open up the pores of the skin and perspiration takes place. This expulsion takes place when the symptoms are at their worst and afterward you begin to feel better. Another excellent example of this is a runny nose of a cold. When you have a cold, most think that the runny nose is the cold. Actually the runny nose is the body's way of trying to eliminate whatever is irritating the system.
Antihistamines dry up the runny nose and halt the elimination process.
Studies have shown that these types of products, which are used to relieve cold symptoms, don't actually cure the cold, they just suppress the symptoms. They actually prolong the process of getting rid of the cold. Taking antihistamines can actually double the amount of time it takes to get over a cold. What these medications do is to actually interfere with the natural healing process of the body.
