Common Colds And The Flu / Causes And Cures

Abstract: 10 pages in length. Inasmuch as people "catch" a cold on the average of twice a year for adults and around six times for children, the medical community is still looking for definitive reasons behind its existence and elusive cure. Established most often as a viral condition, the common cold comes in an assortment of over two hundred types, which explains why people can be stricken with one after another after another. However, as miserable as one might be with a cold, the flu is all that and worse. Also appearing primarily in the colder months, influenza mirrors many of the same symptoms as the cold, except for the fact that it most often stems from only three viruses: type A, B and C. The writer discusses causes and cures in relation to colds and the flu. Bibliography lists 6 sources.
