Cold?: A fever, headache, and other aches and pains are common with the flu but less so with colds.
    People who have colds usually have a stuffy nose and sore throat. That's less common when you have the flu. Flu symptoms often hit suddenly, which makes you weaker and weaker. A dry cough and fatigue can last 2 to 3 weeks. http://www.webmd.com/cold-and-flu/cold-guide/relief-from-cold-aches-pains#1
