Dr. Dumford from the Cleveland Clinic warns of an increase in flu, RSV, and COVID cases in the coming weeks. He advises individuals experiencing symptoms like cough, runny nose, sneezing, or fever to consult their doctor and emphasizes the importance of staying home if unwell to prevent spreading illness during the holiday season.
Dr. Dumford from the Cleveland Clinic says these are symptoms many people are having just days before Christmas .
But if your symptoms last longer than a week or you have something more serious, you’re going to want to call your doctor. “Unfortunately, this year we’ve gotten to find that a lot of the over the counter cold medicines, at least in studies, are not as helpful as we think they are,” said Dumford.
