Most germs spread through the air in tiny droplets when people sneeze or cough, but can also be spread by other means, e.g. when the droplets are carried on hands, doorhandles, or even fthe faucets of public restrooms. The human body is designed to detect these ‘outsiders’ and the immune system kicks into gear – trying desperately to restore balance. That’s why we suffer with a running nose and fever – it’s our body’s way of fighting back!

However, this usually leads to us feeling rather rotten. Also, not everyone’s immune system is strong enough to fight back – children have a developing immune system (similar to an army in training) and they find it more difficult to restore balance and may develop stronger symptoms. Likewise, those who are already compromised by an initial condition may struggle to restore health.

Vaccination against the ‘flu virus is advisable for people at risk as well as those who work with people at high risk. This includes children, the elderly, people with chronic conditions and those who work in the medical field. The chance of contracting the common cold is also reduced by using antiviral drugs such as Amantidine. While both a vaccine and antiviral drugs can be effective, there are problems and side effects associated with both. Shots and oral vaccines can cause mild symptoms (oral vaccines) and even allergic reactions and have also been associated with the development of muscular problems. Side effects of antiviral drugs can include nausea, loss of appetite and concentration problems. Many people, however, do not develop any side effects at all. It is always advisable to discuss a vaccination with your doctor as benefits need to be weighed up against disadvantages when making the choice of whether or not to be vaccinated.
