Explanation
The common cold is an acute catarrhal infection of the upper respiratory tract with major involvement of the nasopharynx, nasal sinuses and larynx. Influenza is a highly contagious acute disease caused by a virus and characterized by fever, prostration, bodily aches and pains, and acute inflammation of the respiratory mucosa. Related viruses cause a number of respiratory illnesses usually, but not always, febrile.
Treatment
Bed rest, especially febrile cases, is important. Patient should be protected from fatigue and exposure, and the diet should be light with a high fluid intake. Note that antibiotics do not affect the common cold or any other virus-caused infection; therefore, they are not recommended unless a severe bacterial complication occurs.

Co-Resist
Massive doses of Vitamin C should be given during acute early stages of a virus infection, with reduction to high maintenance doses during convalescence.
