Common colds and flsu are typical during
the winter months. A healthy person
shouldn’t be worried about these
illnesses; they can actually strengthen
the immune system if you chose to ride
them out. If you are suffering from
chronic sinusitis or bronchitis, however,
that’s another story. People with
chronic sinusitis or bronchitis are very
vulnerable to infections; medical
treatment is difficult. You can first go
to your doctor and request a chest
auscultation. You can also take an X-ray
image of the sinuses to exclude chronic
sinusitis.
