Other Clues

You can get a cold anytime — spring, summer, or fall, but most likely in winter.

Flu season typically runs from November through March, although you can get it in October or as late as May. You can catch the flu at other times of the year. But symptoms outside of flu season are more likely to be from a cold or an allergy.

Flu tends to be much worse than a cold. And the flu, especially in children and older people, is more likely to lead to serious health problems such as pneumonia and a hospital stay.

Rarely, symptoms may not be enough for your doctor to know if it’s a cold or the flu. Then she may do a test to find out what you have.

As recommended by the Department of Health of the Generalitat of Catalonia, one of the best ways to prevent the spread of flu is to follow good hygiene practices. In this way, we help to reduce the transmission of the virus.

Below we present the most important hygiene measures to take into account, in order to avoid the transmission of these diseases to the maximum.

5 Habits that will help us protect ourselves from the flu

1- When coughing or sneezing try to cover the mouth and nose with a tissue of disposable paper, and throw it away in the trash. If you do not have a scarf, cough or sneeze, cover yourself with the upper part of the sleeve and not with your hand, to avoid spreading the viruses to common areas

2- Wash your hands frequently with soap and water or with a preparation with alcohol. And wipe your hands well with paper. We recommend washing your hands after touching common surfaces such as: handrails, door handles, computer keyboards and mice, telephones, fasteners in public transport and after sneezing and chewing.

3-Avoid contact with people suffering from flu, do not share food or glasses, cutlery, toothbrushes and other objects that may have been in contact with saliva or secretions

4- Ventilate closed spaces often (classes, offices, common areas, etc.) for at least fifteen minutes a day.

5- Clean and disinfect regularly with specific products, surfaces and furniture; especially the spaces that are used more frequently and those that come into contact with hands (pencils, tables, computer keyboards, mice, door handles, etc.).

* In schools and nurseries, it is necessary to increase the cleaning and disinfection of toys, musical instruments, pencils and, in general, shared school material, as they can easily get in touch with children’s nasal secretions.

Cao Chengjian, deputy director of the Municipal Center for Disease Control and Prevention, said that the hands are most likely to be exposed to various pathogenic microorganisms such as bacteria and viruses. If these bacteria cannot be removed promptly and effectively, they may survive in the palms, finger joints, fingertips, etc. In hours, it may even continue to grow and multiply, becoming a place for pathogens to hide and reproduce. At this time, if the contaminated hand rubs the nose and rubs the eyes without cleaning, the bacteria on the hand will take advantage of it and easily enter the human body through the respiratory tract, the nasal mucosa, and the like.

Similarly, if you don’t wash your hands, you can take things, and the bacteria such as bacteria in your hands will be transferred to the food. Eating your stomach may also cause illness. Furthermore, before using the towel, the hands are not cleaned, and the bacteria on the hand are transferred to the towel. When the face is washed, the towel contacts the mucous membrane of the eye, the nasal mucosa, etc., and the bacteria will also enter the human body.

According to a large number of studies at home and abroad, hand washing can effectively eliminate the occurrence of various infectious diseases and prevent their spread. Therefore, hand washing is internationally recognized as the most effective and simplest way to prevent and control diseases such as acute respiratory infections, diarrheal diseases, parasitic diseases (helicoses, etc.), eye infections (horizon), and skin infections (scorpions, etc.). The most economical method.
