Question 1

Common cold (rhinovirus)

Accepted Answer

With more than 200 different  cold viruses  (rhinoviruses) in circulation, it’s no wonder that most  adults catch colds  two or three times a year. Kids — with their germy hands, phlegmy coughs and (lack of) sneeze-covering skills — get sick even more frequently. Cold viruses linger, and you can pass the virus to others for up to two weeks. You and your child are contagious during the symptom-free incubation period. But you’re most likely to infect others when cold symptoms are at their worst — usually around day three of feeling lousy. “For relief from a cold, staying hydrated is key. Drinking  warm liquids like tea  can be soothing for a sore throat and congestion, and small changes can make a big difference when you have a cold,” says Dr. Goldman. “Consider  using a humidifier  in your room to add moisture to the air to help loosen congestion or gargle with warm salt water to relieve a sore throat.”

Question 2

Flu

Accepted Answer

Flu season  runs from October to May, but it’s possible to get sick with an influenza virus any time of the year. The  flu sickens millions  in the U.S. every year and could lead to potential hospitalization or death. The  flu vaccine  is the best way to protect yourself and your family from this highly contagious virus. Each year, a new vaccine is rolled out to protect you against current variants of the flu. By the time you start showing flu symptoms, you’ve probably already given the virus to at least one other person. That’s because you’re contagious before you know you’re sick. The  flu is contagious  for a week or longer after you first have symptoms.

Question 3

COVID-19

Accepted Answer

COVID-19 spreads easily and peaks during respiratory season  just like the flu and RSV . Because of this, we now have an  annual updated COVID-19 vaccine  that functions just like the annual flu vaccine: It protects you and your loved ones from the most dangerous circulating  variants of COVID-19 . While you can still get COVID-19 even after you’ve been vaccinated, you’re likely to experience less severe  symptoms  and you’re less at risk of hospitalization. If you get infected with COVID-19, you’re more likely to infect others with the virus one to two days before symptoms appear and two to three days after you start feeling unwell. How long you’re contagious can also depend on the severity of your illness.
