Vitiligo is a loss of skin pigment that causes white spots or patches to appear on the skin. No one knows exactly why this happens, but it affects people of all races, many of them kids and teens. Because vitiligo affects a person's appearance, it can be upsetting. But it isn't medically dangerous.
Headaches can be one of the most debilitating side-effects of a cold or flu. According to a recent clinical trial that evaluated people with cold and flu symptoms, more than 60% of those polled experienced headaches related to their illness. When youâre on the go, even sunlight and movement can cause sensitivity, making it difficult for busy parents to get through the day.
Although the symptoms can be similar, flu is much worse. A cold may drag you down a bit, but the flu can make you shudder at the very thought of getting out of bed. Congestion, sore throat, and sneezing are common with colds. Both cold and flu bring coughing, headache, and chest discomfort. With the flu, though, you are likely to run a high fever for several days and have body aches, fatigue, and weakness. Symptoms of the flu also tend to come on abruptly.
