How to Tell the Difference Between a Cold & the Flu

Because these two illnesses can produce similar symptoms—such as sneezing, congestion, a sore throat, coughing, chest discomfort, fatigue, and weakness—an accurate diagnosis typically requires a trip to a cold and flu clinic. But until you can meet with a medical provider, you may want to keep the following tips in mind:

  • Flu symptoms are generally more severe than cold symptoms.
  • Flu symptoms typically develop more suddenly than cold symptoms.
  • Colds are more likely to produce sneezing, a stuffy or runny nose, and a sore throat.
  • The flu is more likely to cause a fever, chills, headache, fatigue, and overall achiness.
