LINCOLN, NEB. (RFD NEWS) — As winter illnesses linger across rural communities, many are finding it hard to shake persistent coughs, fatigue, and other lingering symptoms. Understanding when a common cold becomes more serious can be critical for maintaining health during these months.
Dr. Jeffrey Gold, President of the University of Nebraska, joined us for this week’s Rural Health Matters segment to provide guidance on managing lingering winter illnesses.
In his conversation with RFD NEWS, Dr. Gold explained why some colds or respiratory infections seem to linger, whether repeated sickness is due to back-to-back infections or temporary immune suppression, and the warning signs that should prompt a call to a healthcare provider. He also offered practical tips for recovery, ways to support the immune system, and advice on when to seek further medical care if symptoms persist.
Finally, Dr. Gold emphasized the importance of proactive health measures during the winter season to help rural residents stay strong and healthy.
