Description

As winter brings on sniffles and coughs, distinguishing between a cold and the flu is crucial. Both are viral infections, but the flu is more severe and sudden, with symptoms like fever, fatigue, muscle aches, and a dry cough. Colds, on the other hand, typically cause a runny nose, sneezing, and mild fatigue. Both are contagious and can lead to complications. Treatment involves rest and symptom relief, while prevention includes the annual flu vaccine, frequent handwashing, and avoiding close contact when unwell.
