Is it a Cold or Flu?

Cold or Flu?

As the weather is getting colder, flu season is fast approaching.  It is important to recognize the difference between a common cold and the flu. Both are respiratory illnesses, but they are caused by different viruses. Their symptoms are similar so it can be difficult to tell the difference between them. 

Generally, the flu is worse than a cold with more intense symptoms. Symptoms include fever, chills, cough, sore throat, muscle aches, runny or stuffy nose, headaches, and fatigue. 

Individuals with colds are more likely to have a runny or stuffy nose and generally colds do not result in serious health problems, such as pneumonia, bacterial infections, or hospitalizations.

One of the best ways to protect your family is to get the flu vaccine.  Talk to your health care provider about the benefits of getting vaccinated.
