State St. Highland 756-31 37 American Fork 756-3539 By Debra Hart j Tis the season for the cold and flu. All around people seem to be coughing, sneezing and complaining of aches and pains. But, how do you know if it is a cold or the flu? Both the cold and flu are viral infections. infec-tions. Each causes symptoms which last 7-10 days, yet neither can be treated treat-ed with antibiotics. Influenza is highly contagious. It can be characterized by stuffy nose, sneezing, sore throat and coughing. The flu usually hits suddenly and symptoms re more severe, including headaches, chills, muscle aches, exhaustion and high fever. Nausea, vomiting and diarrhea can accompany influenza, too. Colds are characterized by inflammation inflam-mation of the mucous membranes, sneezing, sore throat and coughing. As with the flu, a cold is highly contagious, but symptoms tend to start slowly. The flu hits so suddenly people often describe symptoms as feeling like they've "been hit by a truck." Your only strategy for fighting a cold or flu may come from resting and drinking plenty of fluids. Temporary relief may be available from over-the-counter medicines which treat the major symptoms . and discomforts (stuffy nose, coughs and aches). Each of these illnesses can lead to secondary infections, such as bronchitis, bronchi-tis, pneumonia, sinus infections or ear infections. The secondary infections, which can be life-threatening to young children and elderly people, can be treated with antibiotics. According to Dr. Sundwall, of the Lehi Medical Clinic, Lehi has "not seen a big influx of the flu yet." The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reports the flu season sea-son . is off to a slow start across the country.
