3. Cough
A dry cough is a common symptom of the common cold and influenza. In some cases, a cough may be the only noticeable symptom of an infection. When dealing with a cough, practicing good hygiene is important. Frequent handwashing and covering the mouth when coughing can help keep others healthy.1‘Viral vs Bacterial – What’s the Difference?’ HSC Public Health Agency, www.publichealth.hscni.net/news/viral-vs-bacterial-–-what’s-difference.
While coughing can leave someone a bit winded, breathing should not be difficult. A person should seek medical help if breathing difficulties develop.3NHS Choices, NHS, hereforyouhampshire.nhs.uk/ColdOrFlu.html.
