Winter health risks and checks


Autumn is not only the onset of fall but also temperatures begins to drop and the days start to get shorter than the nights. And there’s a weather proverb that states, “If autumn leaves are slow to fall, prepare for a cold winter.”

The question is: are you prepared enough for winter health risks?

Some health problems such as Asthma, sore throat and cold sores, are triggered or worsened by cold weather or allergies.

Cold vs Allergy

How do you know whether you have cold or allergy?

Colds are picked up from touching surfaces used by other people, such as light switches and door handles. Allergies occur when your immune system has an adverse reaction to certain substances. Both might have the same symptoms and the only way you can tell you might suffer from allergies instead of a cold is the duration of your symptoms — they won’t go away without treatment or removal from the original trigger.

Treating the Common Cold

Since they are viruses, colds themselves are not treatable. Still, there are medications that can help alleviate your symptoms while a cold runs its course.

Allergy Treatments

Unlike a cold, treatments are available for allergies. But you have to find the cause first. That is ruled out only by test. To start with a blood test. 

Health Check Up Tests


Hence a complete health checkup package will help you know the difference. It can not only help you obtain the right treatment but you’ll also be on your way to feeling better sooner rather than later.
