Common cold

A cold is a cold we often say, also known as a cold. The virus is spread by airborne droplets, and the nasal cavity is the primary target of attack, but the general impact on humans is limited to the respiratory system. In general, each person has a cold several times a year, but there are no particularly prominent conditions. Under normal circumstances, a person is caught in a cold, too tired, after the rain, due to decreased immunity and susceptible to a cold. Sneezing, coughing, and stuffy nose are the main symptoms of a cold. In severe cases, nasal congestion and headaches may occur. Most are accompanied by a fever, but generally low fever, rarely high fever. These conditions are milder than the flu and generally do not endanger life.



Under normal circumstances, the cold is less contagious, so there is rarely a large number of people suffering from a cold.

In general, patients with colds should pay more attention to supplementing water, eating more liquid foods, and taking more rest. Generally, they will heal after a few days, but for babies with weak immunity, parents should not slack off and need to take the baby to treat them in time.

Influenza

Unlike the common cold, the condition of the flu is manifested in the child's body. Mainly accompanied by continuous high fever, body aches, chest tightness, chills, sweat outflow, dry cough, headache, limb weakness, vomiting, loss of appetite and other conditions. There may also be various complications, such as pneumonia, otitis media, etc., and serious life-threatening problems may occur. The poisoning type is more likely to be coma, trembling, convulsions, and nonsense, even life-threatening.
