Colds and flu can spread so easily – particularly during the colder months when we spend more time indoors. Coughing and sneezing can cause germs to spread from one person to the next.

If you feel a cold coming on – or you’re already suffering through the symptoms – there are things you can do to make yourself feel a little better. Clearing up nasal congestion using FESS is a practical and easy step you can take to relieve a blocked nose and congestion, and it can help you breathe a little easier.

The FESS® range of nasal saline helps clear excess mucus, relieving blocked noses and nasal congestion.

Cold or flu?

Both the common cold and the flu share very similar symptoms – things like a sore throat, runny and blocked nose and nasal congestion. For many, a cough develops after four or five days, too.

If you’ve got the flu, then the symptoms above are likely to be much more acute. You may also experience fever, headache, fatigue and body aches and pains. And, unfortunately, the symptoms can persist for longer than the common cold.

While there are no treatments or cures that will get rid of your cold or flu faster, you can relieve your symptoms so you’re more comfortable while the infection runs its course. Remember, if you are at all concerned about your symptoms – particularly if you are at higher risk of complication from the flu – then you should see your doctor.
