Between the rich gravies we love and the unpredictable Kolkata weather, many New Town residents are experiencing flu-like symptoms and wondering if it's just a common cold.
Here's how to tell the difference:
→ H3N2 flu hits suddenly with high fever (100-104°F), while colds develop gradually with milder symptoms.
→ Body aches and extreme fatigue are prominent with flu; colds mainly cause runny nose and sneezing.
→ Flu symptoms persist 5 to 7 days and may need antiviral medication if caught early.
If you're experiencing high fever with severe body aches, it might be more than a cold. At The Newtown Clinic near Axis Mall, our physicians evaluate symptoms and provide appropriate treatment. Serving New Town, Salt Lake, and Rajarhat.
