Winter is associated with cold and flu season. Sneezes and colds are common and it is natural for us to be confused and sometimes not know how to distinguish between a common cold and the flu that can be dangerous. Come I'll tell you so you can see how to distinguish one from the other.

1/10
If there is a fever, it is not good news.
If the temperature rises, rest assured that this is not a common cold. On the other hand, in 80% of influenza cases, feverish symptoms appear.
2/10
If there is a dry cough
Cough is common in both conditions, cold and flu. The difference is that the cold cough is phlegm while the flu cough is dry.
3/10
If there are chills
When it comes to a cold, there should be no chills. On the other hand, in 60% of the flu, one of the symptoms is precisely this discomfort.
4/10
Nasal congestion
Nasal congestion is one of the symptoms of the common cold and usually disappears within a few days. In the flu, on the other hand, it does not appear.
5/10
If you feel tired
When it comes to a cold, there are usually no signs of tiredness and physical exhaustion, which instead are one of the distinctive symptoms of the flu.
6/10
Headache
When it comes to colds, headaches do not usually occur, which instead do occur in 80% of flu cases.
7/10
Chest pain
When there is a cold, there is usually no pain or discomfort in the chest. These symptoms, on the other hand, are present when a flu-like illness is suffered.
8/10
Sneezing
Sneezing is common in both the common cold and the flu, only that when there is a cold they are frequent, while the flu is moderate.
9/10
Sore throat
Just as a sore throat is super common in colds, it is rather rare in flu pictures.
10/10
Pain
When we have colds, we may experience pain, but that pain intensifies considerably when we have the flu.
