Flu season basics: Signs, symptoms, and solutions

An itchy throat or non-stop cough with phlegm are signs that you might be experiencing a viral or bacterial infection.

Instead of looking for temporary solutions, it’s best to deal with the root cause of the problem for lasting relief and prevent serious complications.

Swift action and targeted medication is important in avoiding any serious infections.

According to the Department of Health, flu cases have risen by 45% compared to October of last year, necessitating vigilance on everyone’s part to stop the infections from spreading further, especially during the holidays.

While our immune system can defeat disease-causing germs like bacteria and viruses, there are medications that can help in speeding up the recovery process.

If symptoms persist, the bacteria or virus can develop and cause more serious ailments like pneumonia.

And so, prevention is key. If you have a cough, experts advise to wear a mask, rest, drink lots of fluids, and take over-the-counter cough medicines like Solmux Advance with zinc which can help fight viruses and makes recovery faster in as early as three days. Solmux Advance Suspension with Zinc, is a liquid variant with soothing menthol flavor.
