Normally, the common cold and influenza do not cause the manifestation of chest pain, but may be combined with other diseases, and hospital consultation is recommended. Most common viral colds are caused by infections such as rhinovirus, parainfluenza virus, respiratory syncytial virus and echovirus. The clinical manifestations of common cold are mild, mainly manifesting as nasal congestion, sneezing, runny nose, low fever, cough and headache, etc. The incidence is high, and most patients’ illness lasts about 7-10 days to resolve on its own. Influenza is mainly caused by influenza A and B virus infection, the clinical symptoms of the disease are heavy, mainly manifested as high fever, headache, fatigue, general muscle aches, loss of appetite and cough, etc. The respiratory symptoms are relatively mild, some patients may also be accompanied by nasal congestion, sneezing, runny nose and other symptoms. If a patient with a cold has chest pain, consider whether it is combined with certain diseases, such as pneumonia, irritated pleura causing chest pain or combined with intercostal neuritis, costochondritis, pleurisy, pneumothorax and other diseases. If you have a cold, you must pay attention to drinking more water and resting more, because the consumption of energy during a cold is relatively large, and more rest can promote the recovery of the cold.
