Cold

What is a cold?

The common cold is an infection, mainly of the nose and throat, which is caused by a virus. It lasts two to three days and does not cause serious illness in healthy people.

How did I get it?

The virus, which is very infectious, is spread from person to person by the fine spray shot from the nose and mouth when you cough or sneeze. It can also be transmitted by close contact, eg, shaking hands with someone who has a cold.

What will I feel?

You will usually have a runny nose and weepy eyes. You may cough, sneeze, have a sore throat and feel generally off-colour. Some people also have headaches, fever or lose their voice.

What makes it better?

• resting helps your body fight off the cold
• drinking at least eight glasses of fluid (water, weak juice or cordial, lemonade, ice-blocks) a day stops you getting dried out, so your mucus is loose and easier to cough or blow out. Avoid tea, coffee and alcohol - they dry you out even more
• inhaling: put a few menthol crystals, drops of eucalyptus oil or friar's balsam into a bowl of steaming water. Put a towel over your head, close your eyes and breathe in the vapour - or stand a large paper bag over the bowl, tear off a corner, breathe through the hole
• putting a decongestant rub on the throat, chest or on a hanky or pillow will also help clear the nose
• nose drops may be needed if a baby has a blocked nose and can't suck - your pharmacist will tell you what's best and how to use it
• coughing is the body's way of getting rid of mucus - if your cough is persistant, you may want to consult a doctor. 

What can my doctor do?

Go to your doctor if you (or your child) do not get better within four days, have sore ears, cough green or thick yellow mucus, have pain in the chest, trouble breathing or have other chronic health problems. Antibiotics are not given for colds because they are caused by a virus, but they may be used to treat some bacterial infections following a cold.

INFLUENZA
the flu

What is it?

Influenza is a viral infection of your nose, throat and sometimes your lungs, but it can affect the whole body. It is usually not dangerous for a healthy person. Special care is needed if children, the elderly or those with other health problems have flu - it can be serious or life-threatening.

The viruses that cause influenza are always around us. They constantly change, so having had the flu before does not stop you getting it again. The virus is very infectious and is spread from person to person by the fine spray which is expelled from the nose and mouth when you cough or sneeze.

What will I feel?

You will have a fever, headache and aching muscles and joints. You may also have a runny nose, cough or sore throat. These can last for up to a week. Occasionally, the infection spreads to the lungs, causing bronchitis or pneumonia. This is more likely in the elderly, heavy smokers and people in poor health, eg, with asthma or other chest complaints.

What makes it better?

• Resting until you feel better and the fever goes.
• Drinking at least eight glasses of fluid (water, fruit juice, cordial, iceblocks) a day. This is very important when you are sweating and feverish. Avoid tea, coffee or alcohol: they dry you out even more. Fresh lemon juice mixed with honey, some hot water and a little olive oil, well shaken then sipped, can soothe a sore throat or dry cough. Eat light food, only when hungry.
