Why you shouldn't underestimate coughs and similar things

If you catch a cold, you almost always have obvious symptoms. These are uncomfortable, but not so severe that you should stay home because of them.

Many go to work or sports and rarely rest – “after all, it’s just a winter” – but this kind of thinking can be dangerous.

We’ll tell you what a late winter is and its consequences.

Symptoms: How to recognize a delayed cold

Symptoms of a long cold are the same as normal cold or flu.

Hence it is not so easy to differentiate between a delayed cold and a common cold.

However, the most common signs are the following:

  • fever
  • body aches
  • fatigue
  • Headache
  • sniffle and cough
  • chills
  • circulatory problems
  • difficulty breathing

If symptoms last for more than nine days, it is a very late winter.

This is usually because you haven’t cured the cold well enough. Because your body needs a lot of rest to fight off pathogens.

If instead physical exertion occurs, it means a strong additional burden and the body’s own defense mechanisms are inhibited.

sinus infection

A cold can turn into a sinus infection. The pathogens then make their way into the paranasal sinuses.

Typical symptoms are a feeling of pressure and pain in the nose and forehead area.
