Blender’s Notes Kick Ur Kold Cold and Flu Relief:
Steep Me Self-Help combinations are a wonderful way to get health benefits outside of the standard tea leaf. In this combination of herbs, we really wanted to offer a blend to help manage the Cold and Flu Symptoms to progress through your illness not eliminate them. What is the common cold? A cold is a contagious upper respiratory infection that affects your nose, throat, sinuses, and windpipe (trachea). You may have heard that the common cold is a coronavirus. In fact, more than 200 diverse types of viruses can cause a cold. The most common cold virus is the rhinovirus. We call colds “common” because as their name implies, they are widespread. You will have more colds in your lifetime than any other illness. Adults catch two to three colds a year, while young children come down with a cold four or more times a year. What are the symptoms of the common cold? Common cold symptoms typically appear in stages. The common cold stages include early, active, and late. Stage 1: Early (Days 1 to 3) Within one to three days of picking up a cold virus, you may notice a tickle in your throat. About half of all people with colds report a tickly or sore throat as their first symptom. Other common cold symptoms you may experience during this early stage include Sneezing. Runny nose. Stuffy nose (nasal congestion). Cough. Stage 2: Active (Days 4 to 7) Symptoms typically worsen or peak during this stage. In addition to the symptoms in stage 1, you may experience: Body aches. Headache. Runny eyes and nose. Fatigue. Fever (more common in children). Stage 3: Late (Days 8 to 10) Colds usually begin to wind down during this stage. You may be free and clear at this point. But some symptoms can persist. Some people develop a nagging cough that can last up to two months after a respiratory infection. If your symptoms get worse and/or your fever returns, make a trip to a healthcare provider. You may have developed another infection or a complication, such as bronchitis, sinusitis, or pneumonia. Common cold vs. flu — what is the difference? It can be hard to tell whether you have a cold or the flu since many of the symptoms are the same. Both are widespread during the colder months and affect your upper respiratory system. But different viruses cause colds and flu. The flu comes from the influenza virus, while many other types of viruses cause colds. The main difference between cold and flu is that you are more likely to have a fever and chills with flu. Adults do not usually get a fever with a common cold, although kids sometimes do. The flu also causes body aches and more severe symptoms than a cold. Although both the cold and flu can lead to complications, flu complications can be life-threatening.
