Winter bugs are sweeping across Scotland
With winter now in full swing, it's very common for people to become unwell more than they would in the summer months.
To help people who might be worried about themselves or a family member falling ill this Christmas, the NHS has detailed all the symptoms of each of these conditions on its website. Lateral flow tests aren't free anymore but you can purchase them from pharmacies and retailers either in person or online.
Adults and children will experience the same symptoms when they have the cold. To prevent catching the bug, people are encouraged to wash their hands frequently and not touch their eyes or nose.
