Autumn and winter are cold and flu season -- when people are most likely to catch the viruses that cause influenza and the common cold.
Is the old advice true that dressing warmly will help prevent a cold?Or if you do get sick,should you follow the old saying,"Feed a cold and starve a fever"?
And what about that fever?Should you take medication to reduce your temperature,or is it better to let the body treat the infection itself?
Everyone seems to have an answer.But how much value is there in popular wisdom?
Doctor Alvin Nelson El Amin knows a lot about cold and flu season in California.He is medical director of the immunization program for the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health.
Doctor Nelson El Amin says research may be just starting to provide evidence for long-held beliefs.For example,scientists for years dismissed the idea that getting cold and wet might cause colds or flu.
But recent studies have shown that cold temperatures cause stress on the body.That stress can create conditions more inviting to viruses.So maybe it does make sense to wrap up warmly before going outside.
And what about the advice to feed a cold and starve a fever?Doctor Nelson El Amin says if you have a cold and are hungry,you should eat.But a fever,especially a high one,suggests a more serious problem.He says people are usually not hungry anyway when they have a high fever.Eating might even cause a person to vomit.But drinking plenty of liquids is important.A fever can easily dehydrate the body.
Finally,when should you treat a fever?Doctor Nelson El Amin says a fever should be treated if it stays at forty degrees centigrade or above for a day or more.A temperature that high can damage brain cells.The doctor also believes in treating a fever if it prevents a person from sleeping.
Aspirin,acetaminophen and ibuprofen can all be used to reduce pain and fever.But aspirin should not be given to children because it can cause a rare condition.
One belief that Doctor Nelson El Amin wanted to make clear is wrong is that influenza vaccine can cause the flu.It cannot.Sometimes people get the flu from another person soon after they get vaccinated,so they blame the vaccine,he says.
But,flu vaccines do not protect everyone who gets them.Still,even if a person does get sick,the vaccine can limit the effects of the virus.

秋季和冬季是寒冷易感冒季节,这期间人们极容易感染流行型和普通感冒病菌.
那这是不是可以温暖季节就没有感冒吗?如果你生病,你会相信那句老话：“着凉要食,发烧免食”吗?
发烧怎么办?你会吃药降温或者让身体自己调理?
似乎每个人都有答案.那么这种普遍认识有多大价值呢?
Alvin Nelson El Amin博士对加利福尼亚的寒冷易感冒季节十分了解.他是洛杉矶公共卫生部免疫项目的医学主管.他认为科学研究是为那些长期以往的观点提供依据.比如,着凉和湿气会导致感冒或流行性感冒的说法已经被科学家们否定了若干年了.
但是近期的研究表明低温会使身体感到压力.这种压力会给病菌入侵提供温床.所以出门前多穿衣服来御寒是有意义的.
那怎样看待“着凉要食,发烧免食”这句话?Alvin Nelson El Amin博士认为如果你着凉并感到饥饿,就应该吃东西.发烧,特别是高烧,问题就比较严重了.他认为人在高烧时一般不会有饥饿感.这时吃东西可能会呕吐.多喝一些液体才更重要.高烧很容易导致脱水.
最后,你认为应该怎样治疗发烧?Alvin Nelson El Amin博士认为如果发烧40度或以上超过一天就应该治疗.这种高烧会杀死脑细胞.他认为如果高烧使人无法入睡的话也是有必要进行治疗的.
阿司匹林,醋氨酚,布洛芬都可以用来去痛和退烧.但是阿司匹林不要用于儿童,因为它会引起不良反应.
Alvin Nelson El Amin博士澄清了流感疫苗会引起流感这一错误说法.因为有时有些人会被注射过疫苗的人传染感冒,所以就指责疫苗.
但是流感疫苗并不会对所有感冒的人起作用,但它仍然会减弱病毒的危害.
