Colds & Flu
Cold:
The common cold is an upper respiratory infection caused by a virus. According to the American Lung Association, more than 200 different viruses can cause the common cold. However, according to the Mayo Clinic, the rhinovirus is most often the one that makes people sneeze and sniffle. It’s highly contagious.
If you have a cold, you’ll probably have symptoms like these: runny or stuffy nose, sore throat, sneezing, cough ,headache or body aches, mild tiredness.
Because a cold is a viral infection, antibiotics are not effective at treating it . Antibiotics are effective if you have a bacterial infection such as sinusitis or strep throat. A nagging cough could also be a sign of asthma or bronchitis. Sneezing could be a sign of allergies treatable with antihistamines. In Aromatherapy Pure Rose Oil and Helichrysum work well to address the symptoms of allergies.
Flu:
Influenza — or the flu, as it’s better known — is another upper respiratory illness. Unlike a cold, which can hit at any time of year, the flu is generally seasonal. Flu season usually runs from fall to spring, peaking during the winter months.
The seasonal flu is caused by the influenza A, B, and C viruses, with influenza A and B being the most common types. Active strains of influenza virus vary from year to year.
Flu symptoms can include: dry, hacking cough, moderate to high fever, sore throat, shaking chills , moderate to severe muscle or body aches, headache, stuffy and runny nose, severe fatigue , nausea and vomiting, as well as diarrhea (most common in children).
