According to foreign media reports, the flu is a common disease, almost all of them have suffered from a cold, but many common diseases for which there are many misperceptions. The article cites the top ten errors on the cold and flu awareness, hope to help people better in later life to fight with the flu.
1, cold to eat, fever-free food
I believe many people have heard about "cold to eat, fever-free food," this view, meaning that if you have a cold you should be eating, but if you have a fever you will not eat. Indeed, this is completely incorrect understanding, and when you add food when ill with fever and negative impact on the contrary can not the body to provide energy to deal with the disease. So when you are sick, proper and healthy diet is necessary. Chicken is a good choice, recommended to everyone here.

2, do not treat flu symptoms
Many people believe that cold symptoms such as runny nose, cough, etc., is to help us quickly overcome the disease, many people think should not be indicators of oral cold medicines. But, in fact, not only with cold symptoms not related to the duration of a cold, and they are spreading the virus to other accomplices. You should feel pleased that know analgesics and other cold remedies can not only control the disease even within the people can bear, and they will help prevent the flu virus is spread.
3, cold and flu trigger
"Do not Hold on just washed hair out" or "wear more so that a cold," bet, most people who have been told this too. But in fact, the body temperature or ambient temperature and no impact, cold or wet is not an important reason why colds. Lead to cure your cold is a virus or bacteria causes more. When viruses or bacteria invade your body to make you suffer from cold. "Cold" is merely to lower your body resistance to the virus to replication.
4, a cold should avoid kissing
Generally thought to be suffering from a cold kiss his people will be cold, in fact not the case, is not sufficient to cause a cold kiss infection with the flu virus is mainly concentrated in the nasal cavity. According to U.S. scientists found that saliva contained in the influenza virus concentration is very low, not enough to spread a cold. And cold exposure in patients is the most dangerous hands. Because patients often get the hand of the nose, so a lot of virus contaminated with bacteria. In addition, patients come into contact with door handles, telephone and other public facilities, there are a large number of cold viruses. The virus in these hard surfaces, can survive tens of hours. Therefore, to develop the habit of frequently washing hands, is an effective way to reduce the spread of flu.
5, do not drink cold milk
When many people think that cold milk is a very bad idea, because at that time to drink the milk secreted more mucus. In fact, the milk will not lead to excessive secretion of mucus. You can enjoy a casual drink milk, no effect on colds.
6, cold winter love
People think winter is the cold-prone season. Wrong! In fact, the cold spring and autumn is the season over, is not cold in the winter. This is because the virus is more active in spring and autumn, while in winter it seems largely hibernate.
7, vitamin C
Many people mistakenly believe that a lot of vitamin C and zinc help to overcome the cold. However, vitamin C and zinc on the common cold virus has no effect. Once you really caught a cold, better hurry to take analgesics and cold medicines to wait for better conditions.
8, the lower the immune system of common cold
In fact, the immune system does not increase the risk of a cold low risk. Study found that poor health and the health status of people who have been almost equal probability. Interestingly, the study also found that 95% of the population influenza flu virus were directly on their nasal membranes to virus infection, but only 75% of people showing symptoms of a cold. This is the so-called "asymptomatic."
9 understanding of the influenza vaccine
Many people worry that influenza vaccination may cause side effects. In fact, the influenza virus vaccine is non-toxic fragments, incomplete form of the virus will not get sick because of vaccination. After influenza vaccination most people will not have any discomfort, some people may be local swelling, pain, most can quickly disappear, some people, low-grade fever may occur, but generally can disappear within 24-48 hours. Internationally, influenza vaccines are purified using modern high technology, by various strictly controlled to ensure safety. But the flu vaccine on the preventive effect of influenza is limited, the vaccine has a strong specificity of influenza viruses, a vaccine only to a particular or similar infections caused by influenza virus effectively to other viruses or bacteria The cold is not valid. In addition, vaccines are designed for different strains, but the selection is based on the virus, based on the forecast. If the researchers guessed it, then the efficient prevention of influenza vaccine will be more than 80%; if the epidemic is not their forecasts virus vaccine effective this year will be very low. Here are the recommendations when the influenza vaccination are: 1, to avoid fasting inoculation; 2, complete vaccination be observed for 20 minutes; 3, abnormal reaction to a doctor in a timely manner to reflect vaccination.
10, sweating help cure a cold
A cold, many people are done, at least that many others do: covered with thick quilts or blankets child, or paste on his forehead hot towels, hoping to help the flu virus through the sweat excreted. Regret that this did not have any effect, just make you feel good about that, temporary relief of symptoms about it.
