Cold and flu season is here again! No one enjoys being sick, but sometimes it’s unavoidable. You try eating healthy foods and getting lots of vitamin C, but is that enough? How do you remain healthy when everyone around you is coughing and sneezing all over the place?
There are several ways to minimize your risk of catching a cold or flu. But first, let’s learn the differences between the two.
The flu and the common cold share several symptoms, and it can be very difficult to differentiate between the two, as both are respiratory illnesses. So, what's the differentiator? They’re caused by different viruses.
Generally, the flu has more intense and severe symptoms than a cold, while a cold is generally mild and harmless. If you have a cold, you’ll likely have such symptoms as a runny nose, sneezing, coughing, sore throat and congestion. You’ll rarely experience anything that can lead to hospitalization. The flu, on the other hand, can lead to serious health complications like fever, chills, sore throat, headache, fatigue, runny nose and muscle and body aches.
Here are some ways to significantly reduce your risk of catching a cold or the flu:

We've outlined the tips for preventing and treating the cold and flu, but there’s one more tip we haven’t mentioned: intravenous (IV) therapy.

These elements are included to replenish lost fluids, boost your immune system and get you back to feeling your best again.
