Cold and Flu

Viral pathogens cause colds, flu, and chickenpox.

In 1914, the influenza epidemic that ended with the Pandemic of 1918 first started in Europe with episodes of purulent bronchitis. By the end of the Pandemic in 1919, approximately 50 million people died from either the purulent bronchitis or the actual influenza.

10-14 days depending on the virus itself, in some cases 2-3 weeks are required for the bug to go away.

The flu creates a negative feedback within the human body. When you have the flu, your body temperature will rise in an attempt to kill the virus. However, while your body continues to heat up, you will sweat to ensure your body doesn't overheat. Once the virus is gone, your body will resume taking care of itself.

The minuscule amount of mercury from the thimerosal preservative used in some doses of influenza vaccine (single dose vials of the vaccines for the 2009 A-H1N1/09 have no thimerosal in them), may leave traces present in your body for a week or two.

However, to put this in perspective, the amount of mercury from that compound in the flu vaccine when used, is approximately 24.5 mcg of mercury per dose of vaccine. This is well below what a single serving of fish in the diet might contain.

Fish that contain lower amounts of mercury include catfish. It has been determined that for the amount of mercury in catfish to pose any potential danger, these hypothetical health risks from the mercury in catfish would only begin at a weekly intake of 342.8 ounces (21.4 pounds) of the fish. This should put into perspective the insignificance of the mercury from a flu shot. Scientific studies have proven no connection between thimerosal and untoward health consequences from vaccine use.

A humidifier would easily clear up the sinus infection. I also recommend Vicks Vapo Rub (which i own no copyright to). I use that whenever i have a sinus infection. It clears me up very quickly. Drink lots of fluids, and a little unorthodox, but putting icy-hot under your nose and on your chest will also help.

Surgical masks help stop droplets from spreading, but "respirators", like those rated N95, are designed to filter sub-microscopic particles like flu viruses. If used correctly, respirators can reduce flu risk, the CDC says, however the N95 masks must be medically fitted to the face of the wearer to assure proper filtering of the particles. See the related questions below for more information.

You can get sick from exposure to the cold, including cold water, that causes hypothermia or frostbite, etc. but this would take extremely cold water and a long exposure. Just being cold does not cause a cold.

yes it can if it does get one bring it to the vet

A lump in your throat is not something that can easily be cured. That is because it is really only a sensation - there is usually nothing that is actually in your throat to cause that feeling. The feeling is caused by excitement and/or stress, so if something stressful is going on that sensation may become worse.

Your best bet is to wait, and just try to keep yourself occupied with something so you don't focus on it too much. The only true cure for this is time. Doing something such as eating, drinking, coughing, etc., may help for a short amount of time as well.

MOLD the reason why people suffer all year long especially at night and in the morning. Spores are released in the dark and cause loads of suffering for people who are sensitive to it. You need a excellent air cleaner typically running $700.00 dollars and up and the more affordable mold zappers sold on Amazon.

yes, you have heebeejeebees or (brain infection) and have to consume antibiotics or you can get spinal meningitis and go blind and impotent. take two whiskey and fart in the morning or see your physician immediately for a sinus infection

Your body's ability to fight infection like a common cold virus depends on your immune system response to the infection. There are no drugs, like antibiotics which are used for treating bacterial infections, for treatment of viruses. Anti-viral drugs make the symptoms feel better and may help you get over it quicker, but they do not "kill" viruses like antibiotics kill bacteria. One of our immune system responses to an invading pathogen (germ) can be a fever. The reason the fever is generated in response to the presence of a virus is that certain amounts of heat can inactivate some viruses and kill some bacteria. This is part of the body's normal methods of stopping germs. Fever is a good part of your defenses and that is why you are encouraged to ride through a fever without using fever reducers as long as your temperature is not over 102 degrees. Doing this will help eliminate a large number of the viruses infecting your body. Drink plenty of fluids and allow the disease and your defenses to run their courses. You should be over it in 7 to 10 days without any treatment other than OTC symptom relievers. Ask your pharmacist for help selecting the best products for your symptoms.

One common ingredient found in many over-the-counter cold remedies is acetaminophen(also known as paracetamol). It is a pain reliever and fever reducer used to treat a variety of symptoms associated with the common cold, such as headache, muscle aches, and fever.

Another common ingredient found in cold remedies is dextromethorphan (DXM), a cough suppressant. It helps to reduce the urge to cough, making it useful in treating the cough associated with the common cold.

Some cold remedies also contain decongestants, such as pseudoephedrine or phenylephrine, which can help to relieve stuffy nose and sinus congestion caused by the common cold.

Antihistamines such as diphenhydramine is also common ingredient found in cold and flu medicines to relieve symptoms of runny nose, sneezing, itching, and watery eyes caused by cold or allergies.

These are some of the most commons ingriedients out there(before taking any of these medicine consult it with your family doctor)

Here is a book written by doctors that has helped me treating common diseases from home:𝐡𝐭𝐭𝐩𝐬://𝐰𝐰𝐰.𝐝𝐢𝐠𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐞𝟐𝟒.𝐜𝐨𝐦/𝐫𝐞𝐝𝐢𝐫/𝟑𝟗𝟒𝟔𝟓𝟗/𝐂𝐫𝐨𝐭𝐭𝐑𝐢𝐜𝐡/

It is probably anatomically possible, but you have something seriously wrong with you if that happens.

Yes, it is a rare type of flu in humans and it is not easily transmitted human to human, but it is still a potential deadly form of influenza in humans and birds. It has not been recorded in the US to date.

Not in those who are otherwise healthy. Normally a person's healthy immune system would be able to rid the body of the influenza virus in under a month. If the symptoms last beyond that, you would be wise to consult your doctor to see if you have an immune system disorder or perhaps a different disease with symptoms that are similar (there are many diseases and disorders with flu-like symptoms).

Yes a dentist can write a prescription for antibiotics when they are necessary within the scope of his/her practice. Generally a dentist will prescribe painkillers after an oral operation such as a wisdom tooth extraction. If the gums were to becomw infected for example, the dentist could prescribe a therapeutic amount of amoxil, azithromycin, and etc.

It will be more effective if started within the first 40 hours of the symptoms, however, in some cases, it is given later to hopefully shorten the duration or lessen the symptoms in high risk cases. It may be helpful and, in most places, there is currently no shortage of the supply of this kind of medication, so you should contact a health care professional even if it is past the first two days to see if it may still be of benefit to try the drug.

u could b like Michael phelps and hit the bong for awhile cas marijuana causes u to forget about things such as sicknesess. i blaze that $hit up with johny Hopkins everyday and im fine, never been sick in my life.

It's actually a good sign, believe it or not. On the one hand, it signifies that you have an infection (usually of the lower respiratory tract), but the colour also suggests that your body is at work fighting the infection. If your body hasn't defeated the infection in five to seven days, then you should see your doctor, who will prescribe antibiotics. However, it is always preferable to let your body kill the germs for you, since overuse of antibiotics can lead to antibiotic resistance in many infections.

The black death or bubonic plague as it is also known, and smallpox, were two entirely different diseases caused by different types of germs, although they were similar in being highly infectious and highly lethal, causing millions of deaths.

Carrot consumption, believe it or not!

Who cares i no how 2 stop it kill all Mexicans and all ugly swans (pigs) which is all the swans!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

the doctor help sick people better
