    Difference Between Common Cold and Flu Most colds are now caused by influenza viruses. The main manifestation of influenza is that the onset of the flu is relatively acute, and there is no cold before. Because the common cold is triggered by a cold, and there is a process, it may be that the runny nose and cough gradually appear 2 days after the coldHowever, the onset of influenza is more urgent, and there may be no obvious trigger, at this time, there may be a sudden high fever or cough, phlegm, and even the onset changes are relatively fast, and nasal congestion, cough, and yellow phlegm may soon appear, which is the situation of influenza accompanied by bacterial infection.

    Moreover, the fever of the common cold is generally relieved after taking cold medicine, and the fever subsides. However, influenza is due to viral infection, and the main feature of viral infection is to cause a back-up fever of body temperatureViruses are mostly used in the body's thermoregulatory center and can cause anti-fever. Therefore, the body temperature of flu patients may temporarily drop after taking fever reducers or cold medicines, and repeated increases.

    In addition to this, the flu is also predisposed to cause pneumonia, which is now very common. For pneumonia caused by H1N9, there is no good clinical solution, because this virus is a mutation, but the usual influenza is a type B influenza, which mainly damages the upper respiratory tract and is prone to pneumonia.

    Many influenzas cause pneumonia, and there is more clinical contact in winter. In addition, influenza can also cause pulmonary fibrosis. That is, the main symptom of the common cold is coughCough up white sputum, nasal congestion, and a significant history of cold, and the course of the disease is short.

    After taking the drug, the effect is better, while the flu has no obvious trigger, and the onset is more sudden, relatively fast, poor drug effect, repeated high fever, and even cause pneumonia, which is the main cause of the two.

    Colds are one of the most common illnesses in our daily life, and when the seasons change, the weather is unpredictable and causes illnessDrinking plenty of water and eating more fruits after a cold can help with recovery. In the early stage, you can drink Banlan root powder to prevent it, and in the middle stage of a cold, you can use other medicines**. Exercise must be done well, and the home environment must be sterilized, and you can also seek medical treatment.

    Recently, the epidemic in the whole country has reached its peak, and it is said that the peak period in Inner Mongolia has also come. Recently, the people around me have also become yang one after another. It's okay to be impotent, mainly the elderly, children, pregnant women, and people with weak resistance, who are more worried after they become impotent.

    So how can we tell if we are yang or cold? Three simple steps to teach everyone to judge.

    First: look at the symptoms. Many people have no symptoms after becoming impotent. If there are symptoms, they are roughly divided into several conditions:

    1) Check if you have a fever and if your body temperature is exceeded. If the fever persists, this is one of the typical symptoms.

    2) Check to see if you have symptoms such as cough, sore throat, runny nose, nasal congestion, etc., in fact, these symptoms are similar to the usual cold.

    3) Feel if you have palpitation, chest tightness, weakness in limbs, backache, etc.

    4) Do you have diarrhea, nausea, or vomiting?

    The above symptoms are different from person to person, and not everyone has them, because everyone's physical condition is different. If you have most of the above symptoms, then you should remember whether you have been to crowded places recently, whether you have worn a mask when you go out, whether you have been in contact with infected people, etc.

    Second: antigen test, prepare some antigen kits for antigen testing. If it's two bars then it's yang, if it's one bar then congratulations you don't have yang. But if there are any of these things, then it's the flu.

    Third: nucleic acid testing. The most accurate is the nucleic acid test, and the antigen test is sometimes inaccurate.

    When doing nucleic acid, everyone must do a good job of personal protection, wear a mask, and keep a distance of one meter from others. If the nucleic acid result comes out, you don't have to panic, keep an optimistic attitude, because you will be resurrected in 7 days at most after you are yang.

    Although there are many types of antiviral drugs, the ones with better efficacy can only be purchased through hospitals, so patients should try to take them under the guidance of doctors.

    So in order not to delay the condition, try to ** as soon as possible. Most flu patients feel cold when they are sick, so they hate indoor ventilation, but in fact, this is the wrong approach, indoor ventilation is not maintained will accelerate the spread of the virus, and it is not conducive to the recovery of the body, so proper ventilation can not only ensure the smooth flow of air, but also prevent the spread of the virus.
