When we have unpleasant symptoms such as cough and fever, we often wonder if we have influenza A, mycoplasma infection or the common cold. Although there are many similarities between these three conditions, we can easily identify them with a few simple methods. Today, I'm going to share with you three ways to help you quickly identify influenza A, mycoplasma, and the common cold.
Method 1: Observe the symptoms.
Influenza A**: High fever, body aches, obvious fatigue, often accompanied by cough, sore throat and other symptoms.
Mycoplasma infection**: Cough is severe, especially at nightThere may be a burning sensation in the throat and even pain and discomfort.
Common cold**: may start with a fever, but at a lower temperature;Runny nose, cough, sore throat are common symptoms.
By observing the different symptoms, we can preliminarily determine whether we are suffering from influenza A, mycoplasma infection or the common cold.
Method 2: Find a doctor to confirm the diagnosis.
If you are still unsure of your condition, seek medical help as soon as possible. The doctor can accurately judge your condition through a detailed physical examination, such as auscultation, blood draw, etc. At the same time, we should not misuse the medicine by ourselves and should take the medicine correctly according to the doctor's instructions.
Method 3: Pay attention to the route of infection.
Influenza A**: Spread mainly through respiratory droplets, it is easy to get infected in close contact with a sick person.
Mycoplasma infection**: Similar to the common cold, it is transmitted through the air or close contact with an infected person.
Common cold**: Most spread through droplets such as sneezing and coughing.
We can reduce the risk of infection by paying attention to the route of infection and taking appropriate protective measures.
In summary, although there are some similarities between influenza A, mycoplasma infection and the common cold, we can preliminarily determine which disease we are suffering from by observing symptoms, seeking medical attention to confirm the diagnosis, and paying attention to the route of infection. The most important thing is to maintain good Xi habits, wash hands frequently, ventilate more, etc., and do a good job of self-protection to reduce the risk of disease transmission.
