Cold & Flu — your questions, answered
What's the difference between a cold and the flu?
A cold usually comes on gradually with a runny nose and sneezing; flu tends to hit suddenly with fever, aches and exhaustion. Both are viral and normally get better on their own.
How do I treat a cold or flu?
Rest, fluids and pharmacy remedies — paracetamol or ibuprofen for aches and fever, decongestants for a blocked nose. Our pharmacist can recommend what suits you and any other medicines you take.
When should I get medical help?
Get advice if you're breathless, your symptoms last more than about three weeks, you have a very high fever, or you're in an at-risk group.
Can I prevent it?
Good hand hygiene helps, and a flu vaccination each autumn protects against flu — ask us about our flu jab service.
Information only — always read the patient leaflet and ask our pharmacist if you're unsure. Prescription treatments are supplied only after a consultation and our pharmacist's approval.
