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.
Is it the Flu or Something Else?
The flu is a common health ailment that everyone is exposed to during certain seasons. However, it is often difficult to differentiate between the seasonal flu and the common cold because both have similar symptoms. When you being to feel sick and don't know that type of medication to take or whether or not to call your doctor and make an appointment, go over the symptoms of the flu first to determine whether or not what you are experiencing is the flu or something more serious. The first thing to note about the flu is that while its symptoms are very similar to that of the common cold, flu symptoms come on faster, strong and worse than that of the flu. The onset is much faster and much more severe. Feeling feverish or having a fever is one symptom of the flu. However, this is not a symptom that everyone experiences with the flu some people experience a fever while others never see one. A sore throat and/or a cough are other common flu symptoms. Keep in mind that a sore throat may seem more severe first thing in the morning that it does the rest of the day; this is an indicator that you are not experiencing strep throat. A runny or stuffy nose is another one of those symptoms that comes with the cough and sore throat when you have the flu. Along with the basic flu symptoms, others to look out for include chills, body aches, headaches and fatigue. While some adults do experience nausea, vomiting and diarrhea these are symptoms more common in children suffering from the flu. If you are unsure whether or not you are suffering from the flu, your doctor can perform a test to see whether or not your symptoms are indicative of this common illness. In addition, it is important to note that medications will not rid you of the flu; they will only relieve your symptoms. Your doctor may recommend an over the counter medication to help relieve your pain from the symptoms. You are still contagious and you should stay home and follow your doctor's orders to get better quickly.
