Flu vs Common Cold Symptoms; What Is The Difference

When I was younger, I could not understand why some people would get really sick with flu or cold to a point of missing school or work. I thought, like most people, that flu or common cold symptoms are the same. Now, however, I know better, especially after having a really bad case of the flu early last year.


What's The Difference?
The common cold and the flu are both viral infections of the airways. However, they are caused by different viruses. Although sometimes one can be confused for the other, the flu tends to be more severe and is usually associated with headache, cough, fever, joint and muscle aches, and tiredness.These symptoms can be quite severe.
