Colds also called influenza or flu for short, are spread by a type of virus that targets our respiratory system. The common cold is also a respiratory disease, but the virus is different. The flu virus affects our entire respiratory system, including the throat, respiratory tract, and possibly the lungs, whereas the flu virus only attacks our nose and throat.
Viruses attack our immune system because people have weakened their immune systems due to the indiscriminate use of antibiotics, so they are more prone to viral diseases. Otherwise, viruses are nothing new; science is advancing. And the man who develops the world is himself prone to weakness.
Symptoms of a Cold
Early symptoms of a cold include fever, fatigue, body aches, chills, headache, sore throat, and cough.
A severe cold lasts for three or four days.
The cough however, lasts longer and can take up ten days to heal. Feelings of fatigue and weakness can last for weeks.
Within 24 to 72 hours of being infected with the common cold virus, you can spread the disease to others because of the symptoms do not appear after you become infected,
so, you do not know that you have become ill, so, you continue to carry out your daily routine and spread the virus wherever you go.
If you have a cold, do not go out of the house, at least until the fever goes down. Once the fever goes down, then you do not pass the flu virus to others. So, you can go wherever you want without worrying. However, if you get more rest, it increases your chances of a speedy recovery.
Cold viruses can attack the lungs, increasing the risk of serious infections such as pneumonia.
This is why some people become anxious when they catch a cold because if the cold turns into pneumonia, it can lead to hospitalization, and if left unchecked, it can lead to death.
People with weakened immune systems, the elderly, pregnant women, newborns, and people who already have the disease are at higher risk of developing cold pneumonia.
