Coughing blood is not a sympton of the cold or flu. See a doctor.

Cold/flu-like symptoms can be something else. Please, don't put your health in the hands of an amateur forum. Respect your mind and body. Consult your doctor. (I am a physician myself and this is the best advice I can possibly give you.)

Actaully, on some of my recent tests, I have the same exact thing you are describing and it is due to having chronic bronchitis.\nYou are not exchanging oxygen and carbon dioxide efficiently with this disease and as a response the body makes extra red blood cells to get more oxygen to your tissues. If it is slightly elevated above normal it is nothing to worry about.\n\nDo you have any sort of lung disease? This could cause it if I am understanding your question.

it's not dangerous but can be a sign of bronchitis, an upper respiratory infection, or a result of heavy smoking. If you smoke try to cut back and it won't be so bad. If your sick take chest congestion medication and it will relent within a few days.

Home remedies of common cold and minor respiratory infections, should include herbal treatment and some other tips, like open the windows frequently to avoid a big concentration of microbes(it is essential) in the room, put plasters of aloe in the front of the face and wrists to lower the temperature ecc.\nCheck out also this link about fever. I wrote that based on the questions asked by my clients. \nhttp://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AoiJ6WwIyV83Jl9lSdKl6oXsy6IX?qid=1006031504946\nIf the person has been characterized as high-risk, should be advised to get the influenza vaccine. \n\nRegarding the herbal treatment let me be more specific than Batman(he was good but very generic), just because this is the field of my specialization(I am a health care provider). \n1.If you have fever, the 1st thing that you have to do, is open your mouth and check your tonsils: if you distinguish any white spots(this is puss) then you have to go to the doctor to get prescribed an antibiotic.  Don’t trust any home remedies at this case. In any case, you can have some gargles. Prepare a solution of chamomile(1 glass) and 1 spoonful of salt (4-5 times daily).\n2.If not, just an antipyretic drug is enough. If you have high fever, you can use a combination of aspirin + paracetamol (next time that you will visit your doctor check it out with him).\nUsually, the professional associations are posting guidelines for this purpose.\nCheck them out, too, visiting their site.\n3.You are talking about cough. There is a net distinction between cough relievers, in expectorants and antitussives. The mechanism of action of the relevant medicines in order to affront each symptom, is different. Be sure that you did the correct diagnosis, in order to take the correct medicine. Maybe the cough is of allergic provenience or it is a side effect associated   with any medicines that you already take? For example, it might be associated with use of ACE inhibitors(it is a medicine used to lower certain types of  blood pressure). Take care on what you will use, preferably ask your pharmacist. Commonly used expectorants in sirops are thymus extract, fennel, honey, vitamin C.\n4.Liquorice: according to the bibliography, it is used the whole plant. Males, take care: it has an estrogen-like action, so don’t exaggerate in the use of this plant! I know that it is very tasty.\n5.Echinacea: the use is not just empirical; it is used not just in the prevention but also in the acute phase: there are some double-blind, placebo-controlled studies in patients with acute respiratory infections.\n6.Oligoelements, like Zn , for topical use can inhibit the rhinovirus activity.To be found in the pharmacy. Another solution could be sodium chloride 0.9%, for topical use. There are also some preparations on the base of distilled sea water, in the commerce.\n7.Garlic, probiotics and ginseng are used during the phase of prevention.\n  \nI will not specify any sites, there are a lot, for me every official site is O.K., included the site proposed, that is excellent and I will explore,too. \nOr maybe an example is always useful. This is the USDA site\nhttp://search.usda.gov/search?q=cache:zG9-qRuMqAwJ:http://www.nal.usda.gov/fnic/etext/ds_altmed.html+alternative+medicine&num=10&access=p&output=xml_no_dtd&ie=UTF-8&client=usda&oe=UTF-8&proxystylesheet=OC\nFrom my professional experience, I would like to recommend you to take care when you practice self-theraty. Herbal medicine is very popular today but sometimes there are some “secrets” hidden behind it, other than those shown in the 2nd link and they have to do with the geographical place where the plant is cultivated (soil, water for irrigation, weather), the time of harvesting of the plant, the purity of the essential oil, the GMP’s(good manufacturing practices) and sometimes also with the profit of the practitioner.\n\nI will finish this long discourse, saying what we often listen in our professional conferences.

Sounds like the flu to me.

The underlying cause should be detected and treatment taken.\nDon't smoke and stay away from secondhand smoke. \nIf you have seasonal allergies like hay fever, stay indoors during days when airborne allergens are high. If possible, keep the windows closed and use an air conditioner. Avoid fans that draw in air from outdoors. Shower and change your clothes after being outside. \nIf you have allergies year round, cover your pillows and mattress with dust mite covers, use an air purifier, and avoid pets and other triggers. \nPlease see the webpages for more details on Cough.

Colds are caused by viruses, not 68 degree weather.  I always sleep with the temp around there and I have never had any problems. So long as the children have adequate blankets and warmth at night they should be fine.  A lot of people prefer a colder temp setting at night.   I've always been weary of humidifiers because I am very sensitive to mold, but if they have never had any problems with it I wouldn't worry.  Kids get sick all the time, that's just a part of life, it's not from the temp setting.

Depends on what type of cough.  When I get a really bad cold, I take a few belts of the bottle of Jack Daniels I've had in the pantry for 8 years.

Inhaling bleach and ammonia mixture could case death. Checking on the symptons now...\nmostly respiratory since the two combined form a new chemical vapor that causes corrosion and damaged cells in the lungs

No. People get sick more in winter because they're indoors more and breathing the same air with sick people.

If you have a virus, it can be influenza or a cold. There are hundreds of different types of each. The flu can include congestion, and a cold can include nausea, so it's possible that you can give your flu virus to someone resulting in them experiencing congestion. Some flu viruses are caused by the same strain as strep throat. As a preschool teacher, I used to get strep when others at work got the flu! My doctor told me this. :o)\n\nAll in all, I think that if you have the standard old flu with vomiting, fever, etc. but no congestion, it's not real likely that you gave it to a person who is congested and sneezing but has no other symptoms.
