winter sickness symptoms

Winter illness symptoms are often associated with infections such as colds and flu. These symptoms include:

• Sore throat - Runny or stuffy nose - Cough - Headache - Fever - Weakness - Muscle aches - Chills - Loss of appetite In order to better understand your medical history (anamnesis), I need the answers to the following questions:

1. How long have your symptoms been going on?
2. Has your temperature been measured, if so, how high?
3. What additional symptoms are you experiencing? (e.g. cough, sore throat)
4. Have you had similar symptoms before?
5. Do you or anyone close to you have a history of serious illness?
6. Have you been feeling stressed or tired lately? If you are experiencing these types of symptoms, I can give you traditional advice such as drinking plenty of fluids, resting and eating a balanced diet. However, if your symptoms last more than 3-4 days, become severe or if you experience new, unexpected symptoms, it is important to see a healthcare professional.

At this stage, I recommend consulting a healthcare professional. I am not a real doctor and this is not a medical diagnosis.
