You wake up with a bit of a sniffle in your nose. Then maybe your throat starts to get that scratchy feeling. Is it the flu? Is it just a cold? Could it be allergies even in the dead of winter? Let's take a look at the symptoms and what you should be looking out for and what you need to tell your healthcare provider
Flu season is upon us, and the best way to avoid the chills, fever, sore throat, muscle pains, headache, coughing, weakness/fatigue and general discomfort of influenza is to get a flu shot. The vaccine, which greatly reduces your chance of catching the bug, is available at most drug stores.
Flu vaccines have always been dreaded by those who hate shots, but this year a company called PharmaJet introduced a device that uses “a high-pressure steam of liquid to pierce the skin and deliver the vaccine.” The needle-phobics rejoiced.
But now the FDA is saying, Not so fast.
Just some stuff to help you through your cold night! Stay warm...and let me know after you read these myths about the Winter, if you believe them.
