Is it Cold or flu ??
Most of the times we find ourselves wondering if what we are experiencing is the cold or the flu, and this is because people are not always aware of the difference, and this is very important to know in order to select the right treatment. The cold usually gives you an irritation in both the nose and throat, followed by sneezing and watery nasal discharge, that later will become thicker and maybe yellow or green. And here is when you need to know that even with that you don’t need antibiotics. This can be accompanied with cold and it will last about seven days.
The flu on the other hand is a much serious illness, is caused by a virus , you can feel body ache, a flushed face and lack of energy but also you can also experience systemic symptoms like dizziness and vomiting followed by respiratory symptoms. The good part is that you can prevent the flu with a vaccine that is available to prevent this from happening.
I remember my niece had severe cold on her first birthday.It was a special day as it was immediately after my first salary and i had sponsored the 1st birthday party themes on her birthday.Now that the flu is spreading all over Mexico and US, we must be careful and those of you eating pork must avoid it for a reason.
