The Natural Way To Tackle Flu Symptoms

Most people do not know the difference between a cold and a flu, and with all this jargon of Swine Flu/Covid/Virus, we fend for ourselves to figure out what exactly we have, a common cold or the flu?

If you feel you have been put into a punching bag and your head feels like it's been used as a Jamaican drum and your bones are on fire, then you have the flu, and it will continue to make you miserable until you try and soothe its effects with some sensible remedies.

If you have the flu, then it is most likely that you will have the following symptoms:

• Sore throat — it is not necessary that your throat hurts or feels thick; however, with a cold, your throat will certainly be sore.

• Runny nose — It's a symptom of a common cold, but not necessarily of the flu.

• Fatigue — In a cold, this is not as severe, but in the flu, you will feel completely drained and the effects can last up to a month!

• Muscle pain — In a cold, there will be no aches and pains in muscles, but in a flu they will be painful.

• Headache — This is very common in the flu but rare in a common cold.

• Fever — This is almost certain in flu but unlikely in a common cold. Most people do not take the flu seriously, and this is something that should be a major difficulty. You can't cure it, but you can most certainly ease the discomfort until it passes. Influenza is as deadly today as it was in 1918 when the Spanish flu killed over 20 million people worldwide. The following precautions will go a long way in easing the situation.
