Differences between flu and the common cold
Flu and the common cold are different diseases, caused by different viruses, although they do have many symptoms in common, which is why many people consider them to be synonyms. The flu is a respiratory infection caused by a virus from the Influenza family. There are several subtypes of the Influenza virus that can cause infections that vary in the degree of severity. A cold is also a viral respiratory infection, but there are dozens of different viruses causing colds, such as the Rhinovirus, Parainfluenza, etc. Two of the main differences between the flu and a cold are fever and the patient’s general condition. Whereas a cold does not tend to cause fever (except in small children), fever is very common in the case of the flu, generally over 38º C, especially in children. With the flu, the patient generally feels more worn out, has a headache and, quite often, pain in muscles and joints. With a cold, the patient has a runny nose, coughing and sneezing, but, aside from the discomfort of these symptoms, does not feel sick.
What are the cause and symptoms of the common cold?
A cold is a respiratory infection that affects the upper respiratory system and is caused by different viruses, mainly the rhinovirus. The symptoms come on gradually and last 7 to 10 days. The most frequently felt symptoms are: general malaise, sore throat, congestion and fever.
Treatment for the common cold
The treatment for relief from the common cold aims at relieving the symptoms given that there is nothing that will affect the cause itself (the virus). There are medications such as painkillers (acetaminophen and its combinations) to relieve the symptoms. As part of the treatment patients are told to drink a lot of liquid and follow proper hygiene: washing their hands frequently, covering their mouth with a handkerchief when coughing or sneezing, and avoiding crowded areas with poor circulation of air.
