Is it a Cold or the Flu?

    With cold and flu season upon us, it is important that we are aware of the differences between a cold or the flu. Here is a breakdown that help us differentiate between the two:

Cold: Fevers and headaches are rare. Exhaustion is not usual. General aches, pains, fatigue and weakness are sometimes present. More common symptoms include stuffy nose, sneezing, sore throat, and a mild cough.

Flu: Fevers are usually high. Headaches are common. General aches, pains, fatigue, weakness, exhaustion, and coughing are usual and possibly severe.
