COLD AND FLU DIFFERENCES!
The main difference between the common cold and the flu is the severity of the symptoms. The flu and the common cold are both respiratory illnesses but they are caused by different viruses. These viruses are highly contagious and enter the body through our mouth and nose. Because the cold and flu are caused by viruses and not bacteria, antibiotics will not work against them.
COLD (Rhinovirus)Sneezing, Stuffy Nose,
Sore Throat, Coughing,
usually lasts for 7-10 days.
FLU (Influenza)
Fever, Body Aches,
Chest Pain, Chills
Usually lasts 1-2 weeks
