| A cold or sinus condition dehydrates your body and forces your immune system to work overtime to fight off infection. This can cause body aches, a common symptom of a cold or sinus condition. Fortunately, there are measures you can take to combat aches and pains. |

Sleep It Off
Get plenty of rest. Your body heals faster when it has time to slow down. To get a good night's sleep, lay on your side with a pillow between your legs. This is the sleeping position most doctors recommend. A good night's rest will help your body fight off the infection faster. |

Wash Your Hands
The best way to avoid colds (and the aches and pains that accompany them) is to minimize your exposure to germs. Keeping your hands clean can be a big help. Be sure to wash them often, especially before meals. Also, avoid touching your eyes, nose and mouth. |
