How to Prevent and Treat Common Respiratory Infections in Broadway, TN

December 12, 2022

The fall and winter respiratory illness season is off to a quick start. This blog covers suggestions from the experts at Vida-Flo on how to prevent and treat common respiratory infections in Broadway, TN.

A woman feeling sick - learn how to prevent and treat common respiratory infections in Broadway, TN.

Due to the severity of the symptoms that they cause, Influenza (Flu), RSV, and the novel Coronavirus are the viruses that get the most attention. Rhinovirus, Adenovirus and other less virulent Coronaviruses are among the most common causes of seasonal respiratory infections.

Here are some suggestions on how to prevent and treat common respiratory infections:
  1. Start with the basics - a healthy diet, regular sleep, regular exercise, staying hydrated and NOT smoking
  2. Wash Hands Frequently
  3. Get a flu shot
  4. Get an updated COVID-19 Booster shot
  5. Consider wearing a mask in enclosed or crowded spaces
  6. Stay home if you are feeling ill to prevent spreading your infection to others. If you need to go out, consider wearing a mask.
What about Supplements?
  • Regular Vit. C supplementation may decrease the duration and severity of cold symptoms
  • Zinc supplements can shorten the duration of colds by a little bit
  • Echinacea has shown mixed results with the prevention and treatment of colds.
What about Antibiotics?

At least 80% of colds are caused by viruses. Antibiotics don't work on viruses. The vast majority of cold symptoms resolve within 5-10 days. We try to avoid antibiotics so that we don't give patients unnecessary side effects and so that we don't increase the chances that bacteria become resistant to our antibiotics.

We offer all new clients our introductory ReVIDAlizer Treatment for only $119, which includes the Core IV Hydration Fluid and Two Essential Boosts.

IV therapy works by using an intravenous (IV) fluid drip to deliver saline solution through a small catheter and tubing directly into the bloodstream. This saline solution may also include medications and vitamin supplements tailored to the individual patient.

During your therapy session, a medical professional will insert an IV line attached to a bag of saline solution. This bag is hung above the patient's head, using gravity to regulate the flow of fluids into the bloodstream. Compared to a syringe or other forced technique, gravity allows for a gradual introduction of fluids.

While the time frame of a single treatment varies from person to person, a session typically lasts 30 – 45 minutes. There are exceptions to this timeframe, such as with our NAD IV treatments, which generally take 1 to 2 hours per session.

IV drip therapy is highly effective in delivering nutrients, vitamins, and fluids directly to your bloodstream. Unlike oral supplements, this method bypasses the digestive system, allowing your body to absorb the maximum amount of nutrients without any loss during digestion. As a result, vitamins and nutrients are made immediately available to your cells, accelerating the benefits.

At Vida-Flo, we offer a variety of specialized IV blends designed to meet specific health goals. We also provide the option of custom-blended IV treatments to target your individual needs.

The duration of hydration therapy's benefits can vary depending on individual health factors and lifestyle choices. Some of our treatments, such as medications, provide immediate (but shorter-term) results. Our vitamin solutions are processed over a longer period, offering longer-lasting benefits.

Maintaining a regular schedule of treatments can help extend these benefits, supporting sustained hydration and improved health over time.
