Colds are infectious respiratory infections that cause inflammation of the nasal mucosa and throat.

What causes colds?
More than 200 different types of cold viruses. Most adults develop the infection for most of them over time. The symptoms are not caused by the virus itself, but by your body's immune system.
Influenza spreads easily through direct and indirect contact with a person with a cold, or by sneezing or coughing from someone who already has the flu. It is not exposed to cold, wet winter weather that causes colds, but a decrease in your immune system due to stress, overwork, etc. It is also thought that internal (middle) heat and dry air may dry out your nasal passages and cause them to develop. inviting strangers to cold germs.

Keeping the immune system strong by controlling stress and living a healthy lifestyle is a long-term solution.

Supplements can help you recover faster and reduce some of your symptoms. Vitamin C, a popular option, does not actually prevent colds, but it will help increase your immune response to viruses and help reduce its duration.
Vitamin A taken in high doses (50,000 IU twice a day) at the first symptoms of the flu, can help fight the virus. Do not continue to take such high doses for more than five days. And if you are pregnant or planning to get pregnant do not exceed 5,000 IU of vitamin A per day.

When to call a doctor
Infants and the elderly may be at greater risk for developing pneumonia. If after a few days, the fever suddenly changes, then you have chest pains, shortness of breath, a successful cough, and a high fever call a doctor.
If you have asthma, bronchitis, or emphysema, be prepared to call your doctor if you appear to be getting worse.
What to do with the Flu (Influenza)
The flu is a contagious disease. A bad fever is very similar to a mild fever, but the worst form of the flu affects the whole body, with a fever between 101F and 103F and chills, headache, muscle aches, cough, dry or hot eyes, sore throat, and fatigue.
The incubation period is usually three or four days after exposure to the virus. Although the flu usually lasts less than 10 days, fatigue and malnutrition may persist for weeks afterward.
Like the flu, the flu symptoms are caused by the body trying to fight off the virus. Also, as with cold, there is no real cure, although rest with certain herbs and supplements may help to make symptoms more tolerable and support the body's immune system.
People most at risk of flu-related complications are the elderly, people with chronic illnesses (such as heart or lungs), and anyone with a depressive immune system, such as AIDS patients, or the latest chemotherapy patients.
What are the causes of flu?
Influenza outbreaks are caused by mutations of the three basic types of influenza viruses and usually occur as a pandemic. Bacteria are caught and transmitted in the same way as cold germs.
Type A viruses are usually the most potent and often cause epidemics. Type B viruses are less common, and type C viruses cause milder infections that are very similar to the flu.
Influenza Prevention
For people at high risk of developing complications, a flu vaccine is an option. Zanamivir (Relenza), a nasal spray, and oseltamivir (Tamiflu) are both antimicrobials that may be prescribed, but you need to take them at the beginning of the illness to be effective.
Supplements that can help relieve flu symptoms.
Vitamin A can help reduce fever time. Take as recommended for the flu (see above).
Taken in high doses (2,000 mg three times a day, five days), vitamin C can also help.
