Feeling sick, run down and just completely off is not how any of us want to spend our time. But, what if we told you there was a way to knock symptoms like that out, almost immediately? At Pro Health, we provide our patients with quick, efficient and effective solutions that actually work – and in this case, let’s talk about the cold & flu cocktail.
The cold and flu cocktail is a fluid bag filled with everything needed to kick the symptoms – vitamin C, zinc, Zofran and toradol. The Vitamin C and Zinc boost the immune system. The Toradol and Zofran wipe out the headaches/body aches and upset stomach. Plus the full bag of fluids rehydrates you immediately. Let’s take a closer look at how these ingredients work together to help you feel your best when you’re at your worst.
The power of vitamin C
Vitamin C is a powerful immune booster and a well-known remedy when it comes to fighting colds and the flu. It helps support the immune system by stimulating the production of white blood cells, which are essential for fighting off infections. Vitamin C also acts as an antioxidant, reducing inflammation and oxidative stress in the body caused by illness. Having adequate amounts of vitamin C, especially when sick, is important to support overall health and enhance the ability to fight off infections.
Don’t forget the zinc!
Zinc is an essential mineral that plays a huge role in supporting the immune system, making it an important nutrient when fighting a sickness, like a cold or the flu. Zinc helps to regulate the function of immune cells and is involved in the production of antibodies that help the body fight off infection. Research shows that zinc can help to shorten the time and the severity of cold and flu symptoms by enabling the replication of viruses in the body. Zinc also has some great anti-inflammatory properties that can help alleviate symptoms like a sore throat or a nagging cough.
Toradol and Zofran
A couple of not-so-common medications that work wonders in our cold and flu cocktail are toradol and Zofran. Toradol is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug that helps reduce pain and inflammation, while Zofran is an anti-nausea medication. While Toradol can help to alleviate symptoms such as body aches and fever. Zofran can help manage nausea and vomiting that may occur as a result of a sickness, or as a side effect of other medications. It is important to understand that these medications address specific symptoms and will not directly target the underlying viral infection that is causing the cold or flu. That is why they are to be combined with other treatments to provide symptomatic relief and improve overall comfort during the worst parts of the illness.
