Precautions for Common Cold
Common Cold
(a) At one time or another, you have probably had to miss work or cancel plans
because of a cold. Everyone is familiar with the symptoms-runny nose, nasal
congestion, postnasal drip, and sometimes cough, body aches, headaches and
fever.
(b) What Causes Colds Viruses are the main culprits. This is important to
remember, because there is still no effect treatment for the thousands of
viruses that can cause cold symptoms. A few illnesses, such a pneumonia resemble
viral infections but are caused by bacteria and can be treated. Thus, if you
have a sore throat, severe coughing, or persistent fever, check with your
doctor.
