October 22, 2021 - 16:02 BST Bridie Wilkins Chances are you, or someone you know, has been struck by the dreaded cold by now. It seems that practically everyone is battling with it as cold and flu season hits, but there's a reason it feels so different.Dr Roger Henderson, GP and Olbas Expert, tells HELLO!:"Normally, cold and flu season is unremarkable, but lockdown has meant we have had much less exposure to these types of winter infections.
"As many of us have not had as much exposure to colds and flu infections as normal," Dr Roger adds,"There appears to be a spike in tougher, more aggressive forms of colds and flu-like viruses." Signs you have Covid 20. There's considerable overlap between symptoms of Covid-19 with symptoms of the common cold, super cold and flu, but there's one that stands out according to Dr Roger: a loss or change to your sense of smell or taste."You may notice you can't smell or taste anything, or things smell or taste different to normal," Dr Roger explains. This isn’t a symptom of either the common or super cold, so could be an obvious way to tell the difference.
Stay hydrated "Drink plenty of fluids to avoid dehydration, even if you have a poor appetite," Dr Roger says."Stick to water, juices and squash, and don't keep your house too warm."
