Introduction:
Cold and influenza are infections which are mainly caused by viruses. They however differ in terms of organs they affect and afflictions experienced.
ALPHA COLD & FLU has a wide spectrum of coverage over complaints of upper respiratory tract infection, common cold and headache due to cold. Catarrh is a general term covering cold coryza and cough where profuse watery discharge is prominent.
Acute coryza (common cold): It may be of infective origin where mucous membrane of nose and nasopharynx are involved. It is associated with sneezing and profuse watery discharge.
