Several respiratory illnesses are common in colder months. Each virus can be difficult to distinguish, since they share many common symptoms, but certain hallmarks can help differentiate them.

A runny nose, cough, congestion or sore throat can arise because of a virus or a common cold. But a loss of taste and smell is more commonly associated with Covid than with flu or RSV. And wheezing is often a tell-tale sign of a serious RSV infection, usually found in kids or older adults.

Remember, the only way to know for sure what virus you have is to get tested.

October is Prescription Medication Safety Month. This initiative is to raise awareness about the importance of safe and responsible medication use.

Medications can be harmful if they are kept where others can use them accidentally or on purpose. Safely disposing of unwanted or expired medications is an important step in helping to ensure medications are not accidentally used or intentionally misused by someone else.
