How Do You tell the difference between the cold and Influenza?
According to flufacts.com, “In the U.S., an estimated 25–50 million cases of the flu are currently reported each year — leading to 150,000 hospitalizations and 30,000–40,000 deaths yearly. If these figures were to be estimated incorporating the rest of the world, there would be an average of approximately 1 billion cases of flu, around 3–5 million cases of severe illness, and 300,000–500,000 deaths annually.”
“The cold and flu are both respiratory illnesses, but they are caused by different types of viruses. Flu symptoms usually come on quickly (within 3-6 hours) and consist of a fever, body aches, dry cough, and extreme tiredness. cold symptoms are less severe and people experience a stuffy nose, productive cough, slight tiredness, and limited body aches.”

If you or your child suffers from a dry cough that is accompanied by a fever, body aches, and moderate to severe tiredness it most likely is the flu. Sneezing, a stuffy nose and sore throat are all common symptoms of the cold but are not present in the influenza virus. If you or your child is throwing up most likely it is food poisoning and not the flu. contact your doctor right away if any of the symptoms become severe.
The number one way you can prevent the flu is by getting a flu vaccine. There are two types of flu vaccines, a nasal spray (sometimes referred to as LAIV for “Live Attenuated Influenza Vaccine”) — which is a spray taken in the noseoraz „strzały” grypy, które zwykle zawiera inaktywowaną (lub zabitą) szczepionkę. Dzieci 2 i więcej mogą dostać spray nosowy.
