Cold and Flu

Your body has to respond to the Spanish flu before you get better, It usually takes 7 to 10 days. However the Spanish flu epidemic occurred in 1918. It was called the H1 N1 influenza.

The only way you can become sick is if you or someone else touches your face, or an open wound after touching a bacteria or virus. My advice to you is don't touch your face if you can help it. Unless you touched your face, or something else touched it for you, you will not get sick. If you do have a virus or bacteria in you, symptoms will likely show up in about 12-24 hours.

Keep in mind, I am answering this question with only my personal experience for a source. Also, once I asked my doctor how he kept from getting all his patients' illnesses, and he told me, "Wash your hands and don't touch your face." .

If you're interested, here is some of the logic on the whole face situation: In order to get sick, the virus or bacteria must enter your body. (Duh) The only way it can manage this is to get into your body through a hole in your body (i.e. eyes, mouth, nose, ears, open wounds). If there is no hole, there is no virus. Therefore, the only vulnerable place on your body to sickness is your face or anywhere there is an open wound.

Hope this helps!!

random stuff u kno this and that hope this was helpful lol :)

You don't have a cold, you have the flu now go take some nyquil

Possibly bronchitis or pneumonia...go to the Dr, Please!

According to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), "each year, in the United States, on average, 36,000 people die from flu-related complications and more than 200,000 people are hospitalized from flu-related causes. Of those hospitalized, 20,000 are children younger than 5 years old. Over 90% of deaths and about 60 percent of hospitalizations occur in people older than 65."

It would be very unlikely, most of the people who have died of H1N1 flu have been people with weakened immune systems.

Well for one you don't necessarily need a fever to have body aches. Your body is simply still recovering from the illness and as a result you can still have aches and pains anywhere from a few hours to a few days.

No, the temperature is near normal in the mornings. Normal temp is 98.6 degrees. Sometimes the temp rises a little around 11:00 a.m. but stays relatively low until about 2:00 or 3:00 o'lock, when it begins to rise. By 4:00 or 5:00 o'clock it has reached the highest point so far of that day. The higher temp continues through the 7:00, 8:00 and 9:00 p.m. hours, until time for sleep.

Most otherwise healthy people who have had the flu recover with no adverse after-effects in 7 to 10 days time. Some people can have secondary infections, such as viral or bacterial pneumonia, and will require extra time and medical care to recover. Those who have underlying health conditions have a higher risk to develop complications. See the related question below for a list of those who are most likely to have complications from H1N1/09 swine flu, which also applies to other strains of influenza.

If the symptoms you have are flu-like and there are red, itchy bumps all over your back and stomach, it could be chickenpox. Chickenpox usually starts out as a cold, and this is known as the incubation period when you are most contagious. After a few days, spots begin to develop over the trunk of the body, limbs and sometimes on the face. The spots develop a fluid-like center and are very itchy. You can take paracetamol or ibuprofen to reduce fever and apply calamine lotion to the spots to relieve itching.

I regret to inform you that the only cure for head pain associated with coughing from the flu virus is only treatable through time, usually lasting 1-2 weeks after the virus has subsided from your system.

colds and flues are caused by bugs and viruses and tiny little specs.

There may be some ongoing cases in limited locations around the world, including in the UK. However, the specifics and counts of cases are no longer being tracked by CDC, WHO, the US states, and most other countries, now that the pandemic has been declared over. Influenza cases are monitored, but specific H1N1/09 counts (and the lab tests needed to isolate the specific virus to be able to count them correctly) aren't being done. Influenza cases in general are monitored, but statistics are not being kept for H1N1/09 cases separately from other influenza types for reporting any longer in the post pandemic phase.

A tatoo is like putting a picture on the wall of your home and then saying "I will never change that picture for the rest of my life" It can only affect other body parts, besides that immediate skin area, if the needle transmits HIV etc into your body or if it causes an infection that spreads to other body parts-usually organs. If the infection spreads to your heart, you can die or be permanantly ill affected. Use you brain and don't put a permanant picture on your body, if you are normal, your taste in art will change with age and you will regret it!

No, your brain will remain intact if you hold in a sneeze. But it can have an effect on the inner ear, such as creating a blockage in the eustachian tube. Often when a person does have a bad cold they have hearing problems, but realize they can hear better after sneezing or blowing their nose.

Sometimes of course you just cannot sneeze, like at the theatre or the movies, and you have to hold it. It's very painful but my brain is still intact after 51 years!

Some are produced in the US, but the US may not be the headquarters of the company making the product.

NO. It is not Safe! It could lead to cat coma. As what we saw in one case. So dont give it to your cat. medications for humans are different from them.

The vagina can't, but the person how is being engaged has a chance of catching it.

If you have influenza caused by the influenza viruses (affects the respiratory system), then you might have vomiting and diarrhea but they are not typical symptoms of influenza. It was a common symptom in some people who had the 2009 pandemic swine flu H1N1. But it usually is not common with most influenza viruses. It can occur due to a related problem such as dehydration, but not usually directly due to the virus in most bouts of the respiratory flu.

If you are talking about the "stomach flu", which is really not the flu and is just called that by tradition, then it would involve diarrhea but may or may not have associated nausea or vomiting. All three, nausea, diarrhea, and vomiting are the most common symptoms of gastroenteritis.

Stomach flu is not a real medical diagnosis, though. We now know that this problem with vomiting and diarrhea and mild flu symptoms of mild fever, fatigue, aches and pains that we have called stomach flu, is actually gastroenteritis (inflammation of the stomach and intestines) and can be caused by bacteria or viruses. The most common cause of gastroenteritis in the US is the Norovirus. This is known also as the Norwalk Flu.

Swallowing is the best thing to do while you have a sore throat as it acts as a natural lubricant and helps soothe the throat. It is one of the best and effective remedies for sore throat.

go to a local cvs or Walgreen's

As of April 5, 2013 there have been a total of 16 lab-confirmed cases of human avian flu H7N9 in China. Of those, 6 have died.

Originally there were three cases identified of this new version of human avian flu which was reported first on March 31, 2013. The five new cases reported as of April 5 included three cases in Shanghai and two in Jiangsu. One of these cases in Shanghai involved the death of a 52 year old woman and the other two cases are a 67 year old male in critical condition and a 4 year old boy with mild illness of of the date of the report. The patients involved in the two cases in Jiangsu are both in critical condition.

There could be many reasons. Off the top a guess could be that you aren't getting sick because you are no longer using street drugs or narcotics now that you are on a Methadone program. Besides an indication that your overall health is improved simply by no longer using and abusing, that can mean you are no longer out looking for a fix in a bad environment with exposure to germs that people with lowered immune system function from the strain of the drugs on their bodies, inattention to vaccinations, and avoidance of other preventive health services due to cost or so they won't be "found out", and/or infections or blood vessel damage from shooting up and/or sharing needles has caused. It can mean that you are getting more nutrition and better rest for your body to heal itself. You may be washing your hands and generally paying more attention to hygiene than you did while using.

Otherwise, there could be too many other possibilities to list, one of which is that it is only coincidence, since there are no known anti-viral properties of Methadone itself that would be making this happen.

Maybe, depending on which type of flu vaccine you will be taking. Acyclovir is an antiviral medication that can be used for influenza treatment, but is also used for other types of viral infections. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention:

"It is not known whether administering influenza antiviral medications affects the safety or efficacy of live attenuated influenza vaccine (LAIV); LAIV should not be administered until 48 hours following cessation of influenza antiviral therapy, and influenza antiviral medications should not be administered for 2 weeks following receipt of LAIV."

For additional information about this and about contraindications in other situations, please see the CDC Guide to Contraindications for Vaccines at the link provided in the related links section of this page.
