What Is Cold and Flu?
Colds and influenza are virus infections that affect 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.
Common Triggers
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 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 do not work against viruses and are only considered when a bacterial complication appears. Options may include rest, fluids, paracetamol or ibuprofen, saline nasal spray and throat lozenges.
- Rest and drink plenty of fluids
- Paracetamol or ibuprofen for fever and aches, as directed on the pack, if suitable for you
- Saline nasal spray or steam to ease congestion
- Wash hands often and cover coughs
