Cold and flu explained
The common cold and influenza are viral infections of the nose, throat and airways. A cold is typically milder and builds up slowly, while flu tends to start suddenly with high fever and strong body aches.
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.
How cold and flu feels
- Sneezing and sore throat
- Blocked or runny nose
- Fever and chills (more typical of flu)
- Cough
- Body aches and tiredness

How cold and flu is treated
The doctor can tell whether your symptoms fit a viral illness, rule out more serious causes, suggest symptom relief and advise whether it is sensible to fly or travel on. Antibiotics do not work against viruses and are only considered when a bacterial complication appears. 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
- Paracetamol or ibuprofen for fever and aches, as directed on the pack, if appropriate for you
- Rest and drink plenty of fluids
- Wash hands frequently and cover coughs
