Scientists agree that colds and flu are more common in winter and during the cold months, because viruses are able to spread in cold and dry air, but in summer, despite the high temperatures, some people are exposed to flu and colds, and despite the different causes that lead to a cold or a cold in the summer, doctors say that it may be more severe on those affected compared to those that occur in winter.

But according to scientists, the body's defense against viruses that cause nasal congestion and subsequent colds may not be as efficient at low temperatures, as they may be more active in the summer.

According to researchers, summer colds are not rare in warm months such as summer and spring, on the contrary, the viruses that cause them may affect a group of people more than others, and this confirms that colds are related to viruses, not the weather, and they are always present during the months of the year.

However, there is a type of virus that produces cold-like symptoms, and tends to raise its ugly head during the summer, and it is an enterovirus that can cause more painful and disturbing symptoms than the usual winter cold, and may include fever, headache, sore throat, diarrhea, in addition to mouth sores.

While winter colds tend to take their course relatively quickly, getting rid of summer colds is more difficult and longer.

At all times of the year, to avoid catching a summer or winter cold, health experts say that staying away from people with flu symptoms is the first step to avoid infection, and paying attention to hand hygiene and taking antioxidants and vitamin C protects against the risk of exposure to these diseases.

In this regard, we learn about the most important tips and precautions taken to avoid infection with the virus during the summer period:

* The most important advice that should be given to people with immunodeficiency or chronic diseases is to wear a mask and try to avoid crowded places.

• Even with the end of the corona pandemic, it is recommended to wear a mask in heavily crowded places.

* Do some sports movements and eat foods containing vitamin C.
