Sometimes a cold provokes complications.. In the case of ARVI - and including the flu - the “red flags” look like this:.

The temperature keeps. If it is above 38 degrees and for three days it does not fall below, or, on the contrary, it rises or drops to normal and then jumped again - this is a reason to be wary.

Shortness of breath. Any problems with breathing against the background of ARVI is not a good symptom that should not be ignored.

Rash or vomiting. Rash and spots on the skin at elevated temperatures - a reason not just to get to the doctor, but immediately call an ambulance (especially if the rash does not fade when pressed). Unfortunately, like ARVI, diseases such as meningitis also begin.

Extraneous sounds when breathing. Anyone should be alerted - whistling, wheezing, barking cough, etc.. In children, against the background of viral infections, false croup can happen - with this immediately in an ambulance.

Stomach pain, stools with blood or diarrhea. No need to remember what was eaten the day before - this is a “red flag” for both children and adults..

Very bad state of health. It so happens that nothing special happens, but a person feels frankly bad. And in this case, too, need to see a doctor.
