Flu and the common cold are respiratory illnesses that are caused by different viruses. It’s easy to get the two confused since they have similar symptoms. The flu is more severe than a common cold and the symptoms are more intense. Colds usually do not result in serious health problems like pneumonia, bacterial infections or hospitalizations. But the flu can. Symptoms of both viruses can be treated.

Most sore throats are caused by viruses and take time to heal. But there are many cases that sore throats are caused by bacteria (strep) and need antibiotics to be treated. It is estimated that in children 20-30% of sore throats are due to strep throat.

Fevers and coughs can be symptoms of many different types of illnesses. It’s wise to see a health provider to determine the cause of the fever and/or coughing to receive treatment. If left untreated, fevers and coughs can lead to more serious illnesses.

Bronchitis, Asthma and Pneumonia are all respiratory diseases that can impact your lungs. The symptoms of the three can be quite similar, and if you are having respiratory issues, it is wise to have a provider examine you to determine the proper form of treatment.

Ear and sinus infections are extremely common and there are more than 3 million cases per a year in the United States alone. Many times, a sinus infection is transmitted through airborne exposure and lasts for several days to a week. It is recommended to seek medical attention to ensure the infection leaves the body without permanent damage.

Allergies occur when a foreign substance causes a reaction from your immune system. Some of the most common allergies include pollen, bee venom and pet dander. Symptoms of allergies include scratchy throat and eyes, runny nose, sneezing. If your allergies are consistently bothering you, a medical provider can discuss a treatment plan to help eliminate and weaken symptoms.

Abdominal pain, nausea and vomiting are unpleasant sensations of discomfort. The most common case of these things is due to stomach flu but can also be symptoms of something more serious. If issues continue, see a medical provider for treatment.

Sprains occur when you tear or stretch a ligament (tissue that connects bones or holds together a joint). Sprains are most common in ankles, wrists, feet and knees. Sprains are more serious and involve a stretch or tear in a muscle or tendons. The most common types of strains are hamstrings and hip flexors.

Fractures are usually caused by high force impact or stress during an accident, sports activity or work. This causes trauma in the bone and can lead to a break or crack. A dislocation is when a joint injury forces a bone out of position. Both can be serious and should be treated by a medical provider.

While most reactions to bites and stings are minor, there can be some that are more severe that need to receive immediate medical treatment. The symptoms that you have after a bite or sting is an indication of how your body is reacting to the insect’s venom. If you start having trouble breathing, please call 911 immediately.
