Cold and Flu Remedies
Colds are caused by many different viruses (rhinoviruses and coronaviruses being the two main causes), and are characterized by a group of symptoms affecting the upper respiratory tract. Canadian Pharmacy Meds carries effective medications to treat symptoms such as coughing, headache and fatigue. Colds most commonly cause a stuffy nose, which can be relieved by decongestants containing phenylephrine or pseudoephedrine. Coughs are usually caused by colds or flu, and should pass after about a week. Dry coughs are treated with cough "suppressants" and coughs with mucus are treated with cough "expectorants" which helps loosen mucus.
Difference between Flu and Cold
The flu is caused by influenza A or B viruses, and differs from the cold by often bringing a high fever, body aches and weakness. The flu most commonly spreads in winter and spring, and is highly contagious. Medication from Canadian Pharmacy Meds containing acetaminophen, ibuprofen or naproxen can help bring a fever down.
