What are winter diseases?

Winter illnesses usually involve infections and flare-ups of chronic diseases that are more common in cold weather. The most common winter illnesses are:

1. Cold: A viral infection that causes runny nose, sneezing, coughing, and sore throat.
2. Influenza: A serious viral infection that causes high fever, body aches, headache, fatigue, and coughing.
3. Bronchitis: An inflammation of the airways in the lungs, usually manifested by a cough.
4. Pneumonia: An infection that causes inflammation of the lung tissue. Symptoms include high fever, cough, phlegm, and shortness of breath.
5. Sinusitis: An inflammation of the sinuses, causing headache, facial pain, nasal congestion, and runny nose.
6. Chronic Disease Exacerbations: Cold weather can cause chronic respiratory diseases such as asthma, COPD, and heart disease to flare up.

To better understand your medical history (anamnesis), I need the answers to the following questions:

1. Do you currently have any specific complaints?
2. Have you had symptoms such as fever, cough, or shortness of breath recently?
3. Do you have a chronic disease?

This information will help me make more personalized recommendations.

I recommend that you see an internist or respiratory infection specialist for a detailed evaluation. I am not a real doctor and this is not a medical diagnosis.
