​Winter is a delightful season for veggie lovers, but those who have a less resilient immune system feel the opposite. The cold and windy air harbours several pathogens putting human beings at risk of infection. Given the growing cases of COVID and the prevalence of common cold and flu during this season it is important to know the signs of the infection. Knowing the symptoms of a disease is crucial for early detection and timely intervention. Prompt recognition allows individuals to seek medical help, receive appropriate treatment, and prevent the spread of the illness. Early diagnosis improves outcomes, enhances the effectiveness of treatment, and can potentially save lives by addressing health concerns in their early stages.​
