It’s Cold Season
Keep Yourself Healthy!

Typical symptoms of a cold include:

Remember, colds are caused by viruses, so they do not respond to antibiotics. The best way to treat them is:

- Drink plenty of fluids.
Don’t share! (your germs, that is)
- Sneeze and cough into your elbow.
- Avoid others while you are sick.
