Flu vaccination
Hi Doctors, I easily get attacked to cold in situations like dust, headbath etc.. I have been avoiding cold due to headbath with a hair dryer since years. But no solution for dust( I am allergic to dust). For me, cold symptoms would be sneezes and nose blockage. No running nose. Does Flu vaccination help?
