Yellow stool can indicate that food is passing through the digestive tract relatively quickly. Yellow stool can be found in people with GERD (gastroesophageal reflux disease). Symptoms of GERD include heartburn, chest pain, sore throat, chronic cough, and wheezing. Symptoms are usually worse when lying down or bending.
According to the CDC, here is a list of people who should receive the flu shot: 1  children 6 months through 4 years old. 2  adults 65 years and older. 3  women who are pregnant, who may become pregnant, who recently became mothers, or are breastfeeding during flu season. 4  anyone with a weakened immune system.
That basically means that they live in and are spread through your saliva and nasal secretions. Get a flu shot every year, especially if you have young kids in the house. Be aware that pretty much anything that is touched by a sick family member, such as the remote control, could potentially have germs on it. Some types of cold viruses can live on objects for as long as two hours, so a thorough cleaning of anything that could be shared by family members is essential.
