While colds are rarely a direct caus* of dMth, they may preeede or Incite serious infections as bacterial pneumonias, some forms of heart disease and meningitis. Actually the respiratory tract involves the nose, the sinuses, the throat, the larynx, the trachea and the lungs. The entire nasal cavity is lined by mucous membrane, which is also a part of the entire respiratory tract, and it is the mucous membrane that is attacked by viruses, microorganisms or bacteria. The nose acts as a steam heating syst^n supplying heat and moisture to the inhaled air. The coarse hairs in the nostrils trap and filter dust particles. However, finer particles pass these filtering stations and are deposited w part natal mucous fMmbrane. On the surface of the membrane are delicate hairs called cilia which ^cannot be seen with the naked eye and which move back and forth approximately 250 times a minute. A thin blanket of mucus lies directly on top of the cilia, and this, combined With the wavy movement of the hairs, constitute an effective defense against attack by air-borne bacteria. It is when the defense is broken that these bacteria penetrate the outer covering of the mucus, getting into tissue proper and the result is inflammation. Inflammation of the mucous membrane can extend in various directions, tot the nmxmt MM* tore to the starts-- «ai thMK if' course, are commonly afStctijA ty a cold. Sinusitis is a complication of the common QSldt although it does not always 4t» velop following a cold. Another complication of lbs' common cold is the sore throat. When the small areas of tissue in the back part of the throat; called lymphoid follicles, are inflamed, the condition is said to be pharyngitis. When the tonsils only are affected, the condition is known as tonsillitis. Laryngitis is also a frequent complication. When the larynx is affected as the result of a cold and sore throat, the person will shaafss in thte eaftber of Wi votes. The voice chance may lis slight or there may be a complete loss of voice. Hoarseness is often caused by an accumulation of secretions that interfere with voice production and if it persists for more than two or three weeks should be thoroughly investigated, for it may not be a cold at all but something more serious. Bronchitis, an inflammation of the mucous membrane of the bronchi, ordinarily starts as the result of a nose and throat infection, and extends downward into the trachea »nd bronchi. In all these infections of the lower respiratory tract, coughing and expectoration of quantities of phlegm are common symptoms and cause great distress. Unfortunately, the exact cause of the common cold is not known. The so-c ailed antihistamines have proved of little value scientifically, since they do not act against the viruses or bscteria which are believed to cause infectious colds. Until more is known about the common cold, bed rest and certain of the simpler drugs to relieve discomfort are to be recommended. While colds seem more frequent in the winter months, they are also common in all seasons of the year and, if neglected, can lead to many complications of the respiratory tract.
