Cold weather has arrived and with the seasonal and temperature changes, sickness has also begun to plague college students.
Sinus infections and upper respiratory tract infections are the most common ailments emerging this season, with bronchitis following behind, Andrew Singer, allergist and immunologist at Allergy & Asthma Affiliates in Alcoa, said.
Colder temperatures force students inside, often restricting them to the crowded environments of dorms and apartments. The lack of fresh air and exposure to germs and viruses lurking indoors can lead to increased sensitivity to sickness, which causes or magnifies season-specific illnesses

In the quarter of the year that ended in June, the number of prescriptions filled fell by almost half a percent, the first time in recorded history this statistic has not increased.
An argument can be made in some cases that Americans can stand a little less health care. We certainly spend more per person than any other country, while some who spend far less manage to remain healthier.
But going without regular checks during pregnancy or playing Russian roulette with severe illnesses like diabetes cannot be good.
Both governmental and personal choices must be made. On the government side of the equation, it is appalling that citizens in the United States should ever have to choose between putting dinner on the table or filling their child's prescription for asthma medication. A new president and Congress must pull the plug on foreign adventures and begin caring for people right here at home.
Personally, if we can't afford to go to the doctor but can afford cable television or cigarettes, it's time for a dramatic re-evaluation of priorities. Getting and keeping good health has to come first. It is a choice that includes good nutrition, exercise and seeking a doctor's help when we need to. Procrastination is a recipe for disaster.
We can and should prioritize health-care spending. But we've got to be smart about it
