Climate change brings with it a variety of health problems. Whether it’s the onset of winter or the onset of summer from winter, problems like colds appear every year if not taken care of. But with the end of summer and the onset of winter due to the Corona epidemic this year, seasonal flu is not uncommon. This time the situation is different, most people think and ask if it is Covid-19.
Covid-19 is a new disease caused by a virus and is not just a global epidemic. Many human lives have been lost. In Nepal alone, more than one lakh people have been infected and more than 600 have lost their lives due to Kovid-19. The state of this population-based epidemic in Nepal is extremely worrying. Covid-19 is a new disease in itself and it is natural for everyone to be scared and frightened by its global impact.
How to Get Rid of Common Cold, Flu, and Coronavirus
The common cold can be caused by more than 200 viruses, although these viruses can be divided into two categories. Rhinovirus and coronavirus.
Since there are many types of common cold viruses, different viruses can cause colds many times over. The common cold virus affects the nose and throat and can cause common problems such as sore throat, runny nose, or stuffy nose. Fever is normal, but the problem of body aches is not much. It heals on its own in 7 to 10 days without any special treatment.
Influenza Flu is a disease caused by the influenza virus that affects the nose, throat, and lungs. The common cold starts slowly and the flu symptoms appear suddenly. Symptoms include body aches, extreme fatigue, high fever, dry cough, chest tightness, and headaches. Singan flow and Hachyu do not happen very much. Its effects range from simple to complex. If you are healthy and an adult, it is difficult to have the flu, but it heals in 12 weeks and does not have any long-term effects, but it can sometimes lead to death in the risk category. Risk group means the following.
Children Under 6 Months to 5 Years – People above 65 Years
Chronic patients such as Asthma, Diabetes Obese people – Patients
with low immunity such as Cancer, Pregnancy, Maternity
A flu vaccine can be taken every year to prevent it.
This disease caused by a new virus called Covid-19 SARS Cov 2 is also transmitted through inhalation. The virus spreads much faster than the flu virus. People can remain asymptomatic for many days after being infected with the virus. The scary thing is that even without symptoms, one person can pass the disease on to another.
Since the common cold and flu have similar symptoms, it is difficult to differentiate between them based on the symptoms, so it is advisable to test Covid 19 and get rid of it. However, it is not practical to test all those with similar symptoms, nor is it considered a proper test. There are a few things to keep in mind when it comes to Covid 19. Symptoms of the common cold and flu can be complicated in people infected with Covid 19.
Symptoms of loss of taste and smell or change are seen only in Covid-19.
-Flu symptoms appear in 1 to 4 days, while Covid-19 symptoms take longer to appear in 5 to 14 days.
-Flu patients have difficulty in the first week of infection, while patients with covid 19 can only get sick from the second week.
-Flu patients can transmit the disease for 3 to 7 days, while patients with Covid 19 can transmit the disease for at least 10 days or even longer.
The common cold, flu, and covid 19 are all respiratory diseases and the measures to prevent these diseases are very simple and similar.
– Wear a mask, maintain physical distance, do not go in crowds, wash your hands frequently with soapy water, or use a sanitizer.
