Cold & Flu
Yes, we know these aren't chronic conditions. But they're such common conditions that we're compelled to include a few of our favorite resources.
Entries
American Academy of Family Physicians' Flu and Colds Page
AAFP's Flu and Colds page comes to you with the authority of the US' largest organization of family physicians.
This page is produced by the group whose members treat these two nuisances almost every day. Babes who are concerned about Preventing the Flu can find useful tips here also. You can also learn what, if anything, you should do about that runny nose your little one has.
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Influenza Page
The CDC's Influenza page is a treasure trove of information on all things influenza.
Babes who are a bit unclear on just what influenza is should have a look at the influenza key facts page. If you're worried that bird flu could affect your plans, there's plenty of info on that too (in Spanish, Chinese and Vietnamese also!).
WebMD Cold & Flu Health Center
Cold & Flu Health Center lays out the differences between the two and offers tips on how to treat yourself and when to head to the doctor.
Don't let yourself be one of those Babes who doesn't know the difference between a cold and the flu. Babes who are expecting should think about being especially cautious about the flu.
