What are cough, cold, flu, and strep throat?
Cough, cold, flu, and strep throat are common respiratory illnesses with varying causes and symptoms.
- Cough: A cough is a reflex that helps clear the airways of mucus or irritants. It can be caused by various factors, including infections, allergies, and asthma.
- Cold: The common cold is a viral infection of the upper respiratory tract, causing symptoms like a runny nose, sore throat, cough, and congestion.
- Flu: Influenza (the flu) is a more serious viral infection that can cause fever, body aches, fatigue, cough, and sore throat.
- Strep throat: Strep throat is a bacterial infection of the throat and tonsils, causing a sore throat, fever, and difficulty swallowing.
How are these conditions treated?
Treatment focuses on relieving symptoms and supporting the body's natural healing process. Rest, fluids, over-the-counter medications for symptom relief, and antiviral medications for the flu (in some cases) may be recommended.
