How to tell if i have a cold or the flu?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Cold is milder: Inflenza really makes you sick, you have fever, bodyaches, headache, cough, nausea and vomiting, upset stomack, coogh and congestion and you really feel sick while common cold can give you milder symptoms like runny nose, cough and sometimes slight fever and you do not feel that sick as you do with influenza.
