Cold and Flu

You get the Flu be generally being with people that are infected. You can also get them by being in a unclean atmosphere or house/bulding.

Influenza viruses are typically more prevalent during the fall and winter colder weather. There is a distinct season for the flu in that part of the year with the annual strains of flu viruses going around even called the "Seasonal Flu". It is expected that Swine Flu (A-H1N1/09) will likely follow that same pattern and reappear in the Northern Hemisphere in a second wave of outbreaks.

It was a second wave of a mutated strain that caused the most illness and deaths during the 1918 Spanish Flu pandemic. However, since we have not experienced this type of flu before, and because it is not acting entirely typically, in that we have sporadic outbreaks continuing all summer in the Northern Hemisphere long after the typical seasonal flu has "faded out", it is at present still unpredictable.

The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and World Health Organization are monitoring the seasonal and A-H1N1/09 flu outbreaks closely in the Southern Hemisphere to gather as much data as possible on how the virus behaves in the colder weather before the US flu season arrives in October.

We should continue all advised precautions.

i have it now and i was told by my doctor to stay from school and work for two to three days but its because i have a mild case i would hate to have a strong case. it was hell i tell you that. but it depends on how bad you have it. just wash an sanitize a lot and cover your mouth when you cough or sneeze normal stuff and it will help to keep your friends and family from being infected

To soothe a dry throat you can slowly swallow a tablespoon of honey or sorghum. This is not a 'cure' but will help. If your throat has been dry very long you should consider going to your doctor for help.

It is a flu (influenza) virus. All flus are caused by viruses.

A virus is categorized by type such as Influenza Virus Type A, Type B or Type C. Viruses are always changing and mutating, and flu viruses are especially quick in their ability to mutate. When a mutation occurs, they are categorized further as subtypes and then to a finder degree as strains. H1N1 is a subtype of Influenzavirus A. The pandemic swine flu is further identified as A-H1N1/09 indicating the specific mutation of A-H1N1 into the type that caused the pandemic of 2009. Beyond that, the individual strains are broken down and named usually according to the year they were isolated and the location where they were first found. See the related question below for more information on how viruses are named.

Both colds and flu are caused by viruses. The color of the phlegm in respiratory viral infections such as these is very similar. If there is a secondary bacterial infection on top of the virus, the phlegm color may be darker and more greenish/yellow, but that is not always the case as symptoms can vary widely from person to person and microbe to microbe. See the related question below for differences in the cold and flu symptoms.

Yes. It helps to give relief from the symptoms of any infection. But then it facilitates the infection and is contraindicated in infections, except when your physician prescribe the same.

This is fine to mix. Tamiflu is an antiviral. It will not interact with the other two medicines. Remember that the steroid (Dexpak) is harsh on the stomach. Have some food before taking those!

yes, they can unfortuneatley for them :)

Preventive measures include any steps that may decrease the likeli-hood of intraventricular hemorrhage, such as careful labor management and care in an experienced neonatal intensive care unit.

It could be used as long as the needle length is approximately 1 1/2 inches long so that it reaches the muscle tissue.

The flu vaccine injections are given IM (intramuscularly) except if it is the new intradermal type of vaccine, which has its own delivery system with a very tiny needle injected into the layers of skin.

The typically sized needle for IM administration of medication is a 22-25 gauge, 1 1/2 inch IM needle.

23 gauge is slightly larger around than a 25 gauge, so it is possible you could feel it slightly more when inserted. A 23 gauge needle has an outer diameter of 0.02525 inches. A 25 gauge needle has an outer diameter of 0.02025 inches.

As long as you are able to correctly measure the proper dosage, it could be used.

It is your constitutional right to not get a flu shot. It is against my religious belief as a Christian Scientist.

Most sore throats are caused by viruses and have to run their course while your immune system fights the infection. If you have a high fever over 102 you should contact your doctor's office for advice as it may be a bacterial infection that requires antibiotic treatment. If you have trouble swallowing or breathing, you should seek care urgently. If there are white spots on the back of your throat or if it is severely red and swelling, having an examination is important so you can get started on treatment if it is not due to a virus.

If you try remedies and get no relief or a fever persists, then contact would also be important.

There really isn't a solid consensus on this answer. Part of the reason is likely because infection with the flu makes you have hot and cold chills, so you spend part of your day tensed up, shivering and huddled into a ball trying to warm yourself up. Being tensed up like that for extended periods of time makes your muscles hurt because they haven't worked like that in a long time, if ever. Another part of the reason is the cytokine and interleukin proteins that are released - they are part of the inflammatory response that helps your body clear the infection but also makes your body feel feverish and achy.

I've had a cold with no fever and just a head ache, aches in my joints and a scratchy throat. So i say the answer is yes you can.

Kennel cough is perhaps the closest canine equivalent to the common cold. It's rarely life-threatening, but it sure can be uncomfortable for your dog. Fortunately, an annual vaccination can protect your dog from kennel cough. If you plan to board your dog, enter him into competition, or let him spend lots of time around other dogs, get him vaccinated. At many shows and kennels, in fact, it's required.

Symptoms:

Aside from the hacking cough, your dog will appear generally healthy, with a good appetite. He'll simply suffer through it--but obviously if he could voice a preference, he'd choose to not be ill in the first place.

Once someone has had a case of swine flu that is confirmed, then they will have lifetime immunity to the disease and not catch it again.

You would not be safe against pregnancy until seven days after you missed the pill on Sunday. Use a condom until next Sunday if you are going to have sex. Dear Reader; Most manufactures state that missing one pill will not significantly change effectiveness. Unless your digestive tract was totaly shut down, the pill you did take was absorbed long befor you threw up. Dwight

If a child with a cold touches her runny nose, then plays with a toy, some of the virus may be transferred to the toy. When another child plays with the toy a short time later, he may pick up some of the virus on his hands.

That is the stupidest question EVER. You don't ask questions like that HERE, you get a cheat book or something, but I do have your answer. Just finish the stupid level, it can't be that hard.
