Cold & Flu Videos & Transcripts, General Practitioners, Physicians

We've all experienced the discomfort of the common cold. Every winter, most of us suffer at least one bout with the common cold. Some colds send you to bed for a few days, while others haunt you for a few weeks. There are actually more than 200 hundred cold viruses, which are actually upper respiratory tract infections. HealthChoicesFirst has local physicians and cold and flu videos and transcripts to help.

Common cold symptoms are sore throat, sneezing, congestion, cough and headache. Some people also experience fever, chills and aches and pains. The common cold may remain contagious for up to three weeks, and is most contagious during the first two to four days after the initial cold symptoms appear.

Cold Treatments

There are numerous cold treatments at the drugstore claiming to treat the common cold. However, the treatment for the common cold is purely symptomatic û there is no remedy or prescription that will cure it. Ask your local pharmacist for help selecting the best cold treatment for you.

Flu Prevention & Treatments

Between the office, busy stores, and being around other people, you're bound to come into contact with the virus at some point.

The primary form of influenza prevention is the annual flu vaccine. If you're 65 years or older, or you have a chronic medical condition such as heart disease or diabetes, you should get the annual flu shot. If you're a health care worker, work at a care facility, or take care of patients, you should also get a flu shot.

One of the most effective influenza prevention tips is to practice frequent hand washing. Wash your hands before and after eating, after coughing and sneezing, and after using the washroom. Also, try to keep your hands away from your face, as the flu virus often enters the body through either the mouth, nose or eyes.

Check out HealthChoicesFirst's cold and flu videos and articles and find local physicians for more information.
