Regular chiropractic care from your Redmond Chiropractor at Eastside Life Chiropractic, can reduce the frequency with which you catch a cold or flu and aid in a speedy recovery.
The cold and flu are often confused for each other. However, they both have different symptoms and different origin. The flu for instance can start suddenly; a fever develops quickly and body aches follow. Coughing may also be a symptom of the flu, but is generally dry and can last up to weeks after the flu has passed. The common cold can last for many days. Common colds only impact the upper body. Scratchy throat, sneezing, runny nose and watery eyes are symptoms of the cold and is more moist because of congestion.
The Flu Affects the Entire Body
Although you can get similar cold symptoms when you have the flu, most symptoms remain in your upper body. The flu (influenza) affects the entire body. Because influenza is a virus there are no antibiotics to work against in. Doctors can only prescribe drugs to treat the symptoms and most can be found at your local drug store.
If you are suffering from cold or flu symptoms, you should also schedule a visit to your chiropractor.
