I mentioned a few times about me having an allergy and truly there are times that it's annoying specially when i am in the middle of a nice sleep and all of a sudden i have to sneeze repetitively and deal with runny nose. These common traits are my buddies when i still ma not taking my daily dose of vitamins and gladly when i started taking this immune system boosters then it just changed everything.
Just there are times that I'm thinking where this flu virus came from and so i had my share of research so this is what i've got:
------------------------------------
What is flu?
Influenza, commonly shortened to "flu," is an extremely contagious respiratory illness caused by influenza A or B viruses. Flu appears most frequently in winter and early spring. The flu virus attacks the body by spreading through the upper and/or lower respiratory tract.
What's the difference between a cold and flu?
The common cold and flu are both contagious viral infections of the respiratory tract. Although the symptoms can be similar, flu is much worse. A cold may drag you down a bit, but the flu can make you shudder at the very thought of getting out of bed.
Congestion, sore throat, and sneezing are common with colds. Both cold and flu bring coughing, headache, and chest discomfort. With the flu, though, you are likely to run a high fever for several days and have headache, myalgia, fatigue, and weakness. Usually, complications from colds are relatively minor, but a severe case of flu can lead to a life-threatening illness such as pneumonia.
More than 100 types of cold viruses are known, and new strains of flu evolve every few years. Since both diseases are viral, antibiotics cannot conquer cold or flu. Remember: Antibiotics only treat bacterial infections.
