How can it be that precisely after a rainy week like the one we had, where temperatures reached 40 degrees in some areas (and not much less than that in the rest of the areas) everyone walks around with a red and leaky nose, an unpleasant sensation in the throat and paper handkerchiefs tucked in a pocket?
"Even in summer and in winter we may have cold symptoms that include cough, fever, runny nose, muscle aches and weakness. Although the symptoms are similar to those of winter colds, they are usually caused by different viruses," explains Dr. Idan Goren, the family doctor. Of Walla Health the difference between what we feel now and the winter cold we are more familiar with.

According to Dr. Goren, about 50 percent of colds in the winter are caused by viruses from the rhinovirus family, while in the hot summer weather they are usually viruses from another family - the enteroviruses. "Like skin rashes or aphthous ulcers in the mouth, and some enterovirus viruses also cause gastrointestinal infections that are manifested by nausea and vomiting."
The air conditioner is not to blame.
At least not directly.

Another cause of runny and runny nose and coughs at this time of year may be an allergy. We are still in transition season, and this is the peak season of various allergies. If you are not sure if your symptoms are the result of an allergy or a virus, Dr. Goren has some noticeable signs: "Although both cases can include runny nose, itchy throat and cough, allergies often include red and watery eyes, and they do not cause fever. Heat is a sign that it is a cold. "
Another suspect we are quick to point out as the annoying symptoms appear is the air conditioner - the one at home or the one in the office - is always a convenient victim to blame for this cold. But Dr. Goren pardons the air conditioner. Feeling right now. "Colds - in summer or winter - are caused by viruses. If there is a connection to the air conditioner, it is only indirect because when it is turned on the windows are closed and the spaces are not ventilated well enough. In this case there is a greater chance of being infected with viruses."He explains.

In this context it is important to mention that the best way to avoid contracting viruses that cause colds (and viruses in general) is to ensure good ventilation of enclosed spaces.
So leave one window slightly open or the office door open, even if the air conditioner is working and the outside feels like the fire of hell.
And of course continue to maintain hygiene - wash your hands after contact with surfaces that may be contagious, and the masks we need to wear in enclosed spaces will be very helpful in reducing the chances of infection.
And if you have already fallen victim to a summer cold, Dr. Goren says that most of the time the viral disease will go away in a few days.
It is possible to take fever-reducing medications and pain relief, and rest and strict eating and drinking will also help the body overcome.
If the symptoms last for more than ten days or worsen, it is advisable to see a doctor. "
