Shared Symptoms: The Flu and the Common Cold?
The flu is a seasonal illness that everyone is at risk for catching. Those that receive a flu shot from their doctor are less likely to contract this untreatable illness, but not immune to it. The flu is, unfortunately, not treatable with antibiotics. Even if you make an appointment to see your doctor regarding your flu symptoms, he will not be able to prescribe anything for you. Your doctor can run tests to determine whether or not you have the flu and he will suggest an over the counter flu medicine that will temporarily reduce your symptoms and provide you with short term relief. Over the counter medicines will not get rid of the flu. If you are unsure whether or not you have the flu or some other type of illness, take into account your symptoms to help you make the determination. Not all flu symptoms are experienced by everyone who contracts this illness. Some people experience every symptom imaginable while others only experience one or two. One of the most significant symptoms of the flu is a fever; running a fever is one of the most obvious symptoms that you have the flu versus the common cold. Since the symptoms of the flu and the common cold are so similar, the fever is one of the easiest ways to differentiate between the two. Along with a potential fever, people suffering from the flu can experience other symptoms that include a runny nose, congestion, a sore throat and chills. Body aches and fatigue will accompany these symptoms. Unlike the common cold, symptoms of the flu are quick to appear. You will wake up one morning feeling horrible with a myriad of symptoms. With the common cold, you will begin experiencing symptoms over several days until one day the culmination of all of your symptoms makes you feel terrible. With the flu, this happens immediately. Fortunately, symptoms of the flu often recede more quickly than those of the flu. If you experience symptoms in addition to regular flu symptoms you should contact your doctor immediately. Many illnesses share the same symptoms and it is always best to practice precaution.
