A cold is only a minor viral infection of the nose and throat, while the flu, on the other hand, is usually more severe, with symptoms that include the sudden onset of high fever and the addition of aches and pains." 10-05 Cold and Flu Information (MSN) " 'Getting the flu is not a good idea,' says Dr. Ardis Hoven, an infectious disease specialist and trustee of the American Medical Association. 'The primary reason is that the influenza virus undergoes anagenic variation, so on a yearly basis the strain undergoes change.' Meaning: Getting this year’s flu doesn’t necessarily prevent you from getting next year’s flu." 10-05 Cough Syrup Ineffective and Possibly Harmful for Children (ABC News) "For children younger than 14, the ACCP also strongly urges that over-the-counter cough and cold medications not be used. The risk of dangerous side effects can outweigh any benefits." 01-06 Treatment of Flu (Tamiflu) "Last flu season, doctors wrote more prescriptions for TAMIFLU (oseltamivir phosphate) than any other flu treatment. Doctors know TAMIFLU attacks the influenza virus and stops it from spreading inside your body." 10-05
