article: When you're sick, it's important to drink a lot of fluids. Water is the best beverage for staying hydrated, but juice and hot tea will also help. Staying hydrated can help loosen mucus in your sinuses. Hot beverages like tea can help relieve a sore throat and sinus problems, including runny nose, sneezing, and coughing. Adding honey may help further soothe a sore throat. Diluted sports drinks (mix one part water with one part sports drink) and electrolyte solutions can replenish essential minerals that may be lost through vomiting, sweating, or diarrhea. Avoid alcohol, coffee, and soda. Rinsing your throat with saltwater can help soothe a sore or scratchy throat. To make an effective saltwater rinse, mix about half a teaspoon of salt in an eight ounce glass of warm water. Gargle, rinse, and repeat as necessary. This method is not as effective for children younger than five. Often they are too young to know how to properly gargle. {"smallUrl":"https:\/\/www.wikihow.com\/images\/thumb\/6\/6a\/Get-Well-Fast-Step-3-Version-4.jpg\/v4-460px-Get-Well-Fast-Step-3-Version-4.jpg","bigUrl":"\/images\/thumb\/6\/6a\/Get-Well-Fast-Step-3-Version-4.jpg\/aid551196-v4-728px-Get-Well-Fast-Step-3-Version-4.jpg","smallWidth":460,"smallHeight":345,"bigWidth":"728","bigHeight":"546","licensing":"<div class="mw-parser-output"><p>License: <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="https:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by-nc-sa\/3.0\/">Creative Commons<\/a><br>

Blowing your nose offers temporary relief, but nasal irrigation can help remove pollen, dust, and dander, and may help reduce the chances of a sinus infection. Irrigating the sinuses can help relieve some cold symptoms, offering quick relief from a stuffy or runny nose. When flushing your sinuses, you must use sterilized or distilled water. You can buy a sterile solution at the drugstore. If this is not available, you can sterilize water by boiling it for five minutes, then allowing it to cool. There are many different types of sinus irrigation products available. Do not flush your sinuses if you are experiencing a fever, nosebleed, or severe headaches. Consult your physician to determine whether sinus irrigation can help you with your ailment. If you're not comfortable flushing your sinuses, you can also try using over-the-counter saline sprays. These products are simply squirted into the nostrils to soothe irritation and relieve stuffiness. Over-the-counter medications can help relieve the symptoms of a cold or flu, and may help you get to sleep at night to ensure a restful sleep; however, children under six years of age should not be given any over-the-counter cold or cough medicine unless otherwise directed by your pediatrician. Antihistamines help reduce the body's response to allergens and can reduce runny noses and sinus congestion. Common antihistamines include cetirizine (Zyrtec), fexofenadine (Allegra), and loratadine (Claritin). Cough medicine is available as both an antitussive, which suppresses the body's need to cough, and cough expectorants, which increase the production and secretion of mucus. A common antitussive is dextromethorphan (Triaminic Cold and Cough, Robitussin Cough), and the most common expectorant is guaifenesin (Mucinex, Robitussin Chest Congestion). Decongestants can help reduce congestion and open up nasal passages. This type of medication is often combined with antihistamines, cough suppressants, or pain relievers, and can be found in brands like Afrin and Sudafed. Pain relievers and fever reducers can help treat body aches, headaches, and fevers. Common pain relievers include aspirin, acetaminophen, and ibuprofen. Note that aspirin should never be given to children or teenagers, as it has been linked to a serious and potentially-fatal condition called Reye's syndrome. Studies have shown conflicting results on how effective vitamin supplements are in treating colds and illness. Some experts recommend vitamin C and zinc to help strengthen the immune system, but studies suggest that vitamin C must be taken consistently (not just at the beginning of an illness) to effectively strengthen the immune system. Care must be taken when using zinc supplements, as taking more than 50 mg per day over an extended period of time may cause health problems. Some studies suggest that certain herbs may help reduce the symptoms of colds and illness, though these products are not tested by regulatory bodies like the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). In addition, some herbs can cause side effects, especially when taken with other medications or supplements (this is known as the drug-herb interaction). As such, anyone wishing to experiment with herbal remedies should first consult a physician about what to try and how much to use. Common herbal remedies include: Elderberry Used to reduce congestion and promote sweating. Eucalyptus Helps relieve coughs and cold symptoms. Commonly found in over-the-counter lozenges and cough syrups. Peppermint Reduces congestion and soothes upset stomach. Peppermint should not be used with infants. Most colds and viruses will run their course within a few days, and typically do not require medical attention; however, some ailments are more serious and require a physician's diagnosis and treatment. Common illnesses that may require medical attention include: Bronchitis Marked by heavy coughing and mucus, often appearing yellow or green in consistency. These symptoms may also be accompanied by a persistent fever, pain in the chest, or trouble breathing. An x-ray will usually determine if you are suffering from bronchitis. Pneumonia Also marked by heavy coughing, mucus, and difficulty breathing. Pneumonia typically results from a bacterial infection that develops during the flu. Like bronchitis, an x-ray is usually required to diagnose pneumonia. Symptoms of pneumonia also include chest pain and shortness of breath.

Make sure that the friends that you hang out with on a daily basis are mature teenagers. Emulate mature characteristics of the adults or role models in your life. Take note of how they interact with people and conduct themselves in public. If you surround yourself with immature people, you are more likely to act immaturely. Find a role model that has a clear set of values and qualities that you admire. You might find a positive role model in your school, religious community, after school activity, or even within your family. Understanding that you don't know everything is important to becoming a mature teenager. Be receptive to learning new things. Make it a goal to learn something new each day. Learning doesn't always have to happen in the classroom. You also learn from your parents, friends, and community members to do things like cook, drive, and manage money. Research things that you don't know by looking it up on the internet, going to the library, or asking an expert. Ask questions while you are learning to gain a deeper understanding. Read lots of books to gain new perspective and spark your imagination. Reading is an excellent way to learn new things and gain perspective on all sorts of situations. Check out books from categories that interest you, such as sci-fi, fantasy, philosophy, nature, astronomy, and biography. Be open and welcome to feedback. Getting angry or defensive when you are given feedback is very childish. Actively listen and learn from the feedback that is given to you. In order to actively listen, you must listen with all of your senses instead of merely "hearing" what is being said. Accept feedback from your teachers to improve your schoolwork. For example, apply the comments on your last research paper to improve your next research paper. Receive constructive criticism from your coaches or mentors to succeed in afterschool activities. For example, apply the tips that your coach gives you during your practice to improve your technique. Ask for feedback when feedback is not initially given to you. For example, when you receive a bad grade on a paper with little feedback, consider staying after class to discuss the paper with your teacher. Say something like, "Could you give me some feedback on how to make this paper better? I would like to make a better grade on the next assignment for this class." Don't make excuses for things that you have done wrong. Resist the urge to blame other people, even if they were involved. Own up to your mistakes and learn from them. On the other hand, you should take credit for things that you have done well. Take responsibility for your grades instead of blaming them on your teachers. Admit to breaking or damaging something even if no one was watching. Accept and serve and punishments given to you at school instead of asking your parents to talk to the administration. As you grow up you will need to learn to communicate more effectively. Effective and mature communication is key to gain the respect that you want from other people. Remember to use your manners and treat others with respect when you are talking to them. Listen to what others are saying and don't jump to conclusions. When possible, have important conversations face-to-face instead of by phone, text, or email. Try to communicate with someone face-to-face every day to improve your interpersonal skills and avoid isolating yourself with technology. Focus on what the speaker is telling you. Put away any distractions.
