What are the most Common Viruses and Infections?

Common viruses can include things such as: The Common Cold, Sinus Infections, Influenza (Flu), mild to moderate Upper Respiratory Infections (URI) symptoms, Strep Throat, COVID-19 (Coronavirus), and more. Each year, Americans get more than 1 billion colds, and between 5 and 20 percent of Americans get the flu. Both share similar symptoms and are caused by viruses that mutate each year, making it unlikely that you will catch the same virus back-to-back.

Common symptoms for these types of infections include:

• Flu-like symptoms (fatigue, fever, sore throat, headache, cough, aches and pains)
• Gastrointestinal disturbances, such as diarrhea, nausea and vomiting
• Rashes
• Sneezing
• Coughing (mucus and phlegm build-up, usually yellow or green in color)
• Stuffy nose, nasal congestion, runny nose, or postnasal drip
• Swollen lymph nodes
• Swollen tonsils
• Unexplained weight loss
