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 normally mild, whereas flu commonly begins abruptly with a high temperature and heavy aching.
Typical Symptoms
- Cough
- Blocked or runny nose
- Body aches and tiredness
- Fever and chills (more typical of flu)
Common Triggers
Viruses spread by droplets and by touching contaminated surfaces. Airports, aircraft cabins, hotel lobbies and buffet queues put many people close together, so holidaymakers catch them readily.
Getting Cold and Flu Treated in Manavgat
The doctor checks whether your symptoms point to a viral illness, makes sure nothing more serious is going on, suggests ways to ease the symptoms and tells you whether it is wise to travel on. Antibiotics are kept for bacterial complications because they have no effect on viruses. Depending on your case, the doctor may suggest rest, fluids, paracetamol or ibuprofen, saline nasal spray and throat lozenges.
- Wash hands frequently and cover coughs
- Rest and drink plenty of fluids
- Saline nasal spray or steam to ease congestion
