One by one my coworkers and I went down for at least a week with illness. It seems those who got the flu shot suffered worse than those of us who didn't. Some ended up spending days in the hospital while some even died. There is no way to cure the common cold or the flu, but there are several things that you can do to stay healthy this season. The following tips were published by Michael Shugar, M.D., a respected emergency room doctor who practices at various hospitals in the Cincinnati area. First, make sure to wash your hands with soap regularly. One of the most common ways people become ill is by rubbing their noses and eyes after coming in contact with germ-infested telephones, doorknobs, keyboards and other everyday items.

Mac users: please note that our site is optimized for the Safari browser Colds, aches, pains, and other ailments When are colds contagious? Originally Published: February 10, 1995 ~ Last Updated / Reviewed on: November 01, 2007 Dear Alice, When is a person with a cold contagious? A couple of friends, who are put off when I keep my distance from their sneezing and coughing, insist one is only contagious a week or so before symptoms appear. In the back of my memory is the idea that one remains contagious until a few days *after* primary symptoms disappear. I'm not usually so concerned about this, but I'm coping with a couple of other annoying health problems and want to try to avoid adding a cold or flu, to boot. I do the usual things news shows recommend — eat well, wash hands frequently. But when should one avoid others who have colds, or when should one stay isolated at home when one has a cold (or flu)? Yours, Healthy and wanting to stay that way Dear Healthy and wanting to stay that way, The common cold, also known as an upper respiratory infection (URI), can be caused by any of more than 200 viruses. These viruses attack and multiply in the cells that line the nose and throat. Colds are often spread through touch. If you shake, contact, or hold the hand of an infected person (who may not have apparent symptoms), and then touch your eyes or nose, you are likely to infect yourself with the virus. In addition, you can "catch" a cold if you touch your eyes or nose after touching a hard, nonporous surface, such as a telephone or doorknob, shortly after an infected person touched it. The best way to prevent a cold's transmission is to wash your hands frequently with soap and warm water (as you mentioned).

69. Ask The Dietitian - By Joanne Larsen MS RD LD - Colds & Flus Feed a fever or Starve a cold? Ask Joanne Larsen, Registered Dietitian and nutrition counselor. http://www.dietitian.com/coldflu.html

Home Contact About Ask the Dietitian Home ... Zinc Colds What comfort foods can I eat when I have a cold? COLDS, UPPER RESPIRATORY INFECTIONS: Drink plenty of liquids. Water, tea, fruit juice, fruit drinks, carbonated beverages or broth based soups. Liquids help thin mucous secretions. Chicken noodle soup has been shown to thin mucous secretions. Fruit juice or drinks can be thinned with more water to increase tolerance. Flavored gelatin can be prepared with water or fruit juice and drank as a liquid rather than waiting for the gelatin to set. Avoid dairy products like cream based soups, ice cream, pudding or milk as they increase phlem. Any other foods are allowed as long as you tolerate them. Tolerate means a food does not cause vomiting, diarrhea or allergic reaction. Your sense of taste may be off since your nasal passages are plugged. Don't be surprised if some or your favorite foods don't taste the same. Remember to get plenty of rest. If you are having problems getting to sleep, switch to decaffeinated tea, herbal tea or decaffeinated carbonated beverages. Wash your hands with warm soapy water to prevent the spread of the cold virus. Use the paper towels you dry your hands with to turn off the water faucet and open the door to bathrooms.

Find a Therapist DrGreene Content Common Cold Related concepts: Upper respiratory tract infection, URI, Nasopharyngitis, Viral rhinosinusitis. Introduction: It’s called the “common cold” for a reason. Your child will probably have more colds than any other type of illness. Most kids have had eight to ten colds by their second birthdays and they continue throughout childhood (and their parents get them – usually from the kids). It’s the most common reason that children miss school and parents miss work . If anything, using the term "common" with cold is an understatement. What is it? The body has a relatively small number of symptoms with which to respond to an ever-changing, wide variety of viruses . These symptoms are often the body's attempt to get rid of the virus and to minimize damage. Sneezing ejects the virus from the nose, coughing from the lungs and throat, vomiting from the stomach, and diarrhea from the intestines.

The flu and the common cold are both respiratory illnesses but they are caused by different viruses. Because these two types of illnesses have similar flu-like symptoms, it can be difficult to tell the difference between them based on symptoms alone. In general, the flu is worse than the common cold, and symptoms such as fever, body aches, extreme tiredness, and dry cough are more common and intense. Colds are usually milder than the flu. People with colds are more likely to have a runny or stuffy nose. Colds generally do not result in serious health problems, such as pneumonia, bacterial infections, or hospitalizations. How can you tell the difference between a cold and the flu?
