Influenza (the flu) is a highly contagious respiratory virus (types A and B) causing rapid onset of fever, cough, fatigue, and muscle aches, typically lasting 3-7 days. Spread via droplets from coughing or sneezing, it often requires rest and fluids, with antivirals for high-risk cases. Complications can include pneumonia, making annual vaccination key for prevention.
Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a contagious disease caused by the coronavirus SARS-CoV-2. COVID‑19 transmission occurs when infectious particles are breathed in or come into contact with the eyes, nose, or mouth. The risk is highest when people are in close proximity, but small airborne particles containing the virus can remain suspended in the air and travel over longer distances, particularly indoors. Transmission can also occur when people touch their eyes, nose, or mouth after touching surfaces or objects that have been contaminated by the virus. People remain contagious for up to 20 days and can spread the virus even if they do not develop symptoms.
The symptoms of COVID‑19 can vary but often include:
Symptoms may begin one to 14 days after exposure to the virus. At least a third of people who are infected do not develop noticeable symptoms.
A sinus infection (sinusitis) occurs when the nasal cavities become inflamed and swollen, often following a cold, allergies, or infections, which causes mucus buildup and traps bacteria or viruses.
Bronchitis is often caused by a virus and can lead to:
Ear infections can occur in the inner or outer ear and often cause pain and discomfort.

Prompt care is important to help prevent complications, such as a ruptured eardrum.
Swimmer’s ear is also common and can be painful, but there are treatment options to ease discomfort.
