colds

Viruses are everywhere around us, and they frequently wreak havoc on our immune systems. It’s almost impossible not to catch a cold, given that over 200 different viruses can cause the same symptoms we refer to as the “common cold.” If you are experiencing discomfort and aches, we can offer the treatment you need. At MedFroce Mobile, we can help combat cold symptoms and offer vaccination to avoid them altogether.

what is the common cold?

The illness we call “the common cold” is actually the result of a viral infection of the nose and throat caused by any number of viruses. Although the cold typically only causes mild symptoms, making it relatively harmless, the severity can vary from person to person depending on their health condition.

what are the symptoms of the common cold?

Most patients experience the symptoms within three to five days of exposure. As we mentioned, symptoms may vary from person to person, but the most common include:

• 

  Cough

• 

  Congestion

• 

  Fatigue

• 

  Runny nose

• 

  Sore Throat

when should I seek medical attention for a cold?

Most colds do not require medical attention, but if your symptoms worsen, you should seek care. Excessive fevers (100.4 F and above), severe pain, and difficulty breathing are all serious symptoms that call for attention from a medical professional.
