As winter approaches, the risk of virus infection increases crown And cold and flu, and despite the similarity of symptoms between these three diseases, there is a difference in the severity that these diseases cause, and it is important to know the difference between the symptoms and signs caused by Corona, flu and cold and to take necessary precautions, according to the Times of India website.
The symptoms of the corona that you should pay attention to
Runny nose, sore throat, fever, headache, fatigue are the common symptoms of the coronavirus we see these days.
Corona symptoms do not differ significantly from one individual to another, although the severity of the disease varies.It is recommended that you isolate yourself immediately when you notice symptoms.
Aside from the symptoms, the Corona safety rules must also be followed. Since the new variants are more transmissible and can avoid infection very easily, you need to be careful. If you come into contact with someone who was later infected, get tested and stay in isolation for 7-10 days.
Cold symptoms
The common cold is a respiratory problem and affects most people during the onset of winter.
The worst part is that many people go on with their daily lives and hardly take preventative measures, when they catch a cold this facilitates the spread of the disease among healthy individuals.
If you have nasal congestion, itchy nose, breathing problems, fever, body aches, headaches and fatigue, take your temperature, see your doctor, and get some rest.
Stay isolated for all the days recommended by your doctor, hydrate properly, and eat healthy foods to return to normal life after the fever has run its course.
When do you have the flu?
Differentiating between flu, corona and cold is a difficult task, as many symptoms overlap.
Symptoms of the flu are headache, cough, muscle aches, fatigue and sore throat. Some people also experience congestion in the nasal passages which affects the way they breathe. All of these viruses spread the same way. What makes this infection cause for concern is the fact that it spreads very quickly without any warning.
Corona, flu and cold are transmitted from an infected person to a healthy person through the air droplets emitted from the mouth and nose. People who are in close contact with an infected person tend to easily collect pathogens in these droplets, which grow and spread.
Important points to keep in mind
You never know if you have the coronavirus, cold or flu until you take the test. Until then, limit the spread of the infection as much as possible by disinfecting yourself, wearing a face mask, and avoiding meeting people when you are sick.
Whether you are sick or not, avoid going to crowded places especially if you have older people or children who share the same house or room.
