Do You Have the Flu or a Cold?

Both the common cold and the flu are viral respiratory infections that are contagious, but they are distinct from one another. Unlike the common cold, which can be brought on by a variety of viruses, the flu is brought on by influenza viruses (most commonly rhinoviruses). While each virus can have similar symptoms, there are also several differences to be aware of:

  • Flu symptoms tend to be more severe and begin more suddenly than cold symptoms.
  • The flu is more likely to cause a fever, chills, a headache, fatigue, and overall achiness.
  • A cold is more likely to cause sneezing, a runny or stuffy nose, and a sore throat.
