As the colder weather descends upon us, the prevalence of colds, flu and other viruses increases, posing a significant health risk to individuals and families. Bellin and Gundersen Health System urges everyone to take proactive measures to protect themselves and their loved ones from these common illnesses.

Colds and flu are caused by viruses that spread easily from person to person, particularly in crowded places. Symptoms can range from mild to severe and may include coughing, sneezing, sore throat, fever and fatigue. While most people recover without complications, some may experience more serious health issues, especially those with weakened immune systems, the elderly and young children.
