The Common Flu (Part 2)
High fever and colds go hand in hand when you have the flu and regular home medication tends to suffice allowing it to take its course. You might be surprised to find out that the common cold you get through in your lifetime is caused by a myriad of strains of the virus and that you would likely get sick of a different one each and every time. Watch out for symptoms such as seemingly hard breathing, high fever that fails to go away even with medication and chest pains. Seek medical help for aggravated symptoms and if the fever lasts for more than 3 days.
