What can you do to tell the difference between bird flu and ordinary flu?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Lab tests: The clinical signs and symptoms are similar. To be sure it would require testing of the virus. Knowing the circumstances of infection, e.g., exposure to birds and/or pigs would point to bird flu.
