FAQs for adult cold and flu care

If you have any of the following symptoms, it's recommended that you seek medical attention:
  • Trouble breathing or chest pain. Neither should cause you to be short of breath or have pain in your chest. It could be a sign of a more severe illness, such as pneumonia.
  • A fever that doesn't go away. A temperature over 100.4 degrees F° that doesn't go away can indicate another infection.
  • Excessive vomiting. If you can't keep anything down, you risk dehydration because the body needs fluids to work. You may need IV liquids.
  • Hurts to swallow. Severe throat pain may be indicative of an infection such as strep throat or tonsillitis.
  • Incessant coughing. A cough that won't go away or is severe may be indicative of Whooping Cough.
  • Congestion and headache won't go away. If you continue to experience a stuffy nose and headache, you may have developed a sinus infection.

Both the common cold and flu are viral infections that can be taken care of at home. Allow your body to get plenty of rest. Take some time off from work or school to decrease your activity level, as well as sneak some naps in during the day to let your body recuperate. You should also stay away from public places for at least 24 hours to reduce the possibility of spreading the infection to others.

Drink plenty of liquids, especially clear ones such as broth and water. Sports drinks are another good choice because they help keep your body hydrated. Take over-the-counter medications designed for adult cold and flu care based on your symptoms. These will help alleviate the discomfort you'll experience due to a stuffy nose, chest congestion, headaches, body aches, and possible fever.

Most people start to feel better within a week of being infected by the common cold or flu. If your symptoms last longer than a week or get worse, you may want to seek medical attention to determine whether you have a more serious illness.
