Cold and Flu

Yes. Bacterial diseases can be treated with antibiotics. Viral diseases have to run their course. Many viral diseases have vaccines available, such as flu, measles, mumps, chicken pox and so on. If your cold or flu turns into pneumonia, then that can be treated since it is bacterial.

For the 2012 -2013 Flu Season in the Northern Hemisphere, the H1N1 vaccine is included in the "regular" seasonal flu shot that is trivalent (contains vaccine for three different types of flu). The contents are for the most part the same as listed in the answer below. Also see the related links and related questions sections below for some additional in formation.

Influenza A (H1N1) 2009 Monovalent Vaccine is formulated to contain 15 mcg HA per 0.5 mL dose of influenza A/California/7/2009 (H1N1)v-like virus.

The single-dose formulation is preservative-free; thimerosal, a mercury derivative, is not used in the manufacturing process for this formulation. The multi-dose formulation contains thimerosal, added as a preservative; each 0.5 mL dose contains 24.5 mcg of mercury.

A single 0.5 mL dose of Influenza A (H1N1) 2009 Monovalent Vaccine contains sodium chloride (4.1 mg), monobasic sodium phosphate (80 mcg), dibasic sodium phosphate (300 mcg), monobasic potassium phosphate (20 mcg), potassium chloride (20 mcg), and calcium chloride (1.5 mcg). From the manufacturing process, each dose may also contain residual amounts of sodium taurodeoxycholate (≤ 10 ppm), ovalbumin (≤ 1 mcg), neomycin sulfate (≤ 0.2 picograms [pg]), polymyxin B (≤ 0.03 pg), and beta-propiolactone (< 25 nanograms).

The rubber tip cap and plunger used for the preservative-free, single-dose syringes and the rubber stoppers used for the multi-dose vial contain no latex.

Cold, flu, chickenpox, and hepatitis are all infectious viral diseases.

the most dangerous flu on Earth is h5n1 the bird flu it kills 60% of the people it infects. This virus mutated from a virus that could only affect birds, H5n1 is an epidemic across asia. The h1n1 flu is the next most dangerous flu. In the United States it's become an epidemic. The Swine flu h1n1 does not have a high death rate and this virus mutated from a virus that only affected swine or pigs. Most people that get h1n1 flu don't die, but without proper treatment it can start to kill you within 2 days. Swine flew symptoms are same as normal flew but more severe.

Yes, you can take Tamiflu (oseltamivir) more than once during a flu season if necessary. However, it's important to follow your healthcare provider's recommendations regarding dosage and frequency. Typically, Tamiflu is prescribed for the treatment of flu symptoms or for prophylaxis in individuals who have been exposed to the virus. Always consult with a healthcare professional before repeating treatment.

Currently the typical person contracting the disease is a healthy teenager in the mid-teen years (15 - 17). Although, ages of people who have had confirmed cases of the flu range in all age groups, from toddlers to senior citizens. However, the people at most risk for severe symptoms or untoward outcomes are defined by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention as:

Persons at increased risk of severe illness from influenza (i.e. high-risk persons) include those groups at higher risk for severe illness from seasonal influenza, including: children younger than 5 years old; persons aged 65 years or older; children and adolescents (younger than 18 years) who are receiving long-term aspirin therapy and who might be at risk for experiencing Reye syndrome after influenza virus infection; pregnant women; adults and children who have pulmonary, including asthma, cardiovascular, hepatic, hematological, neurologic, neuromuscular, or metabolic disorders, such as diabetes; adults and children who have immunosuppression (including immunosuppression caused by medications or by HIV); and, residents of nursing homes and other chronic-care facilities.

flu or fever its always been a myth that fever is a bad sign infact fever is a good response its a defence mechanism of the body.whenever your body is attacked by any bacteria or virus the body responds by an increase in temperature ,which is helpful to kill the pathogen.

can be caused by a number of factors, including the type of dialysate used, composition of the dialyzer membrane, water quality in the dialysis unit, and the ultrafiltration rate of the treatment

Every time you sneeze, thousands of tiny droplets are blasted out of your mouth. If you have a cold, those droplets might spread the cold to other people.

God didn't send swine flu, it mutated from strains of pig, avian and human flu. Also, it's hardly a plague on mankind. In the time since it came about, more people have died from normal human flu than swine flu.

Well I don't think so, but what would help would be a nice hot cup of milk and lots of honey. Or some advil would help too, its very cheap at Walmart. And try not to talk a lot, and cover your throat at night with your bed covers to keep it warm. Good luck with your soar throat.

Because it still comes from your insides and it's built up. Sneezing is the body's way of getting rid of germs. The mucus builds up in the nose to catch all the germs that we breathe in and when we sneeze we get rid of them. So they can spread then to others.

Flu stands for influenza. As you can tell, it's just a shortened version of the word.

Seasonal influenza and H1N1/09 Swine influenza have many of the same symptoms. H1N1 is very highly contagious and transmitted easily from person to person making the pandemic spread rapidly around the world in 2009. The symptoms have been similar for both in most people, although there is a subgroup of people who were at higher risk of complications and death from the Swine Flu. See the related question below for more information.

Modern transportation makes it much easier for emerging viruses to travel around the world and infect people. It makes it easier for emerging viruses to travel around the world because with inventions such as planes, if one person has the virus, they are now a carrier for the virus. In a plane, air is recycled, so if the virus is airborne, the virus can potentially infect many people on that plane. Also that plane will land in a different place from where it took off so the carrier would be bringing the virus to a new place. It makes it easier to infect people because with modern transportation like buses and public transit, people are much closer together and easier to infect because of the proximity of each other. These factors attributed by modern transportation give the virus a boost in infecting and spreading.

Asthma affects peak flow because it obstructs the breathing which means that you cannot breathe out as much as somebody else. Asthma causses a reduction in peak flow ... this is a solid indicator of how severe your asthma is becoming....

Peak flow is a measurement that is indicative of the patency of the large airways.....

If you are having bronchospasm .... The airways are highly wrapped with smooth muscle that contract and decrease the diameter of the airway ... reducing the flow of air that you are capable of exhaling....

because they have a rear flu that last 4 ever
