Common Cold vs. Influenza
If you’re feeling under the weather, it’s important to know what’s causing your symptoms so that you can adopt the correct treatment approach. Only a trained medical provider—such as those at our cold and flu clinic—can provide an accurate diagnosis. But in the meantime, ask yourself the following questions to distinguish between a cold and the flu:
- How severe are your symptoms? Cold symptoms are generally milder than flu symptoms.
- How suddenly did your symptoms appear? Cold symptoms usually develop more gradually than flu symptoms.
- Are you experiencing sneezing, a stuffy or runny nose, or a sore throat? If so, you probably have a cold.
- Do you have a fever, chills, a headache, fatigue, or overall achiness? If so, you’re more likely to have the flu.
