Cold vs. Flu- Here's How To Tell The Difference

You can determine whether you have a cold or the flu evaluating your symptoms. You likely have the flu if you have a fever, aches, fatigue, and chills. You likely have a cold if you do not have a fever, but are sneezing and have mild fatigue. To tell whether you have the flu or a cold, you can also evaluate how long you've been sick. If your symptoms come on rapidly, it's possible you have the flu. When it comes to the flu, you will likely feel the onset of symptoms right away, whereas with a cold, the symptoms will come on gradually. The best way to know if you have a cold or the flu is to get an influenza test.
