Signs and Symptoms:
Cold virus signs and the symptoms may start showing up around day one to the fourth day after infection. The signs of a cold virus may start with irritation of the nose and throat, feeling a bit tired, burning sensation in the nose and also at the throat, and sneezing follows that may persist for some time. A running nose also could be experienced for the duration of the illness.
As the sneezing and the running nose persist, this stage becomes very contagious and infecting those around you is very easy. The running nose and sneezing may cause someone to lose their appetite for food, and also this may cause a cough to develop and also go on for some time. Cold virus symptoms that last around three days may disappear but a person may remain congested for about a week.
Breakout:
At least nine million people from Britain are suffering from the cold virus and many more people are bound to catch it. In the next two weeks, the outbreak is expected to worsen compared to last year's outbreak that was reported at the same time. Young children and the nursery school children are the ones most severely affected by the cold virus. Those adults that are in regular contact with little ones are most likely victims to catch the virus.
During the autumn and winter seasons, there is an increased chance of the spread of the cold virus although it occurs all year round. Most common symptoms that are reported lately are the coughs and sore throats with only a few cases of running nose and high fever being reported. The elderly, who are also at a high risk of getting the virus, should be especially cautious about possible transmission of the virus.
Precautions:
Taking a lot of fruits andvegetables to get vitamin c is vital in fighting the cold virus. Drinking a lot of water (at least 7-8 glasses a day) and having enough rest also contributes to the fight against the cold virus
