What Is Cold and Flu?
The common cold and influenza are viral infections of the nose, throat and airways. Colds creep in gradually and are usually mild, whereas flu frequently begins abruptly with a high temperature and heavy aching.
How Cold and Flu Feels
- Fever and chills (more typical of flu)
- Sneezing and sore throat
- Body aches and tiredness
- Cough

Causes and Risk Factors
These viruses move through droplets in the air and on touched surfaces. Crowded airports, planes, hotels and buffets make them easy to catch while travelling.
How Cold and Flu Is Treated
The physician can tell whether your symptoms fit a viral illness, rule out more serious causes, suggest symptom relief and advise whether it is sensible to fly or travel on. Antibiotics do not treat viral infections and are only advised if there is a bacterial complication. Treatment can involve rest, fluids, paracetamol or ibuprofen, saline nasal spray and throat lozenges.
- Wash hands frequently and cover coughs
- Paracetamol or ibuprofen for fever and aches, as directed on the pack, if suitable for you
- Saline nasal spray or steam to ease congestion
- Rest and drink plenty of fluids
