What is cold and flu?
Colds and influenza are virus infections that affect the nose, throat and airways. A cold tends to be gentle and slow to build, while flu typically strikes fast with fever and intense muscle pain.
Common triggers
These viruses move through droplets in the air and on touched surfaces. Crowded airports, planes, hotels and buffets make them easy to catch while travelling.
Signs of cold and flu to look for
- Sneezing and sore throat
- Blocked or runny nose
- Body aches and tiredness
- Fever and chills (more typical of flu)
- Cough
Getting cold and flu treated in Icmeler
You will be assessed for signs of a viral infection and for anything more worrying, receive advice on relieving symptoms and on whether to fly or keep travelling. Antibiotics are kept for bacterial complications since they have no effect on viruses. Depending on your case, the doctor may suggest rest, fluids, paracetamol or ibuprofen, saline nasal spray and throat lozenges.
- Saline nasal spray or steam to ease congestion
- Wash hands commonly and cover coughs
- Rest and drink plenty of fluids
