The cold and flu season in Canada continues. The flu can vary in severity from a couple of days on the couch to hospitalization (or worse) for high-risk groups. High-risk groups include young children, seniors, pregnant women and people with compromised immune systems, but the flu certainly isn’t a good time for anyone.

The common cold is a different beast than the flu. But it still comes with a host of unpleasant symptoms that include headache, watery eyes, a runny/stuffy nose, a sore throat and a cough.

Whether you’re facing a cold or a flu, you may be approaching it with a number of long-held myths on your mind. Before you break out in a chorus of, “zip up your coat before you catch your death of cold”, check out this article from Parents.com that debunks 12 commonly held cold and flu myths.
