Cold and flu
Cold and flu are both respiratory illnesses caused by different viruses but they share some similar symptoms.
Cold symptoms typically include a runny nose, sneezing, sore throat, cough, mild headache, mild body aches, and a low-grade fever (rarely above 38°C).
On the other hand, flu symptoms are more severe and sudden. They can include a high fever (above 38°C), severe headache and body aches, fatigue, serious cough, sore throat, chills, and sometimes nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea.
Prevention measures for both cold and flu include practicing good hand hygiene, covering coughs and sneezes, avoiding close contact with sick individuals, and getting vaccinated for the flu annually.
Treatment for these illnesses usually involves rest, staying hydrated, over-the-counter medications to relieve symptoms, and sometimes antiviral medications for the flu, especially for individuals at high risk of complications.
Benefits of Telemedicine in Cold and Flu Treatment
Reduced exposure to contagious individuals: Telemedicine allows patients to receive medical advice and treatment from the comfort of their own homes, minimizing the risk of spreading cold and flu viruses in waiting rooms or clinics.
Convenience and accessibility: Telemedicine eliminates the need for patients to travel to a healthcare facility. If you suffer from influenza, you would want to stay in bed and not to travel to hospital.
It also enables individuals in remote or rural areas to access medical care without having to commute long distances.
Saving time and money: Telemedicine visits are often more affordable than in-person consultations, as they eliminate the need for transportation costs and can be billed at a lower rate. Also, you don't loose time travelling.
