What's the difference between a simple cold and "the flu"?

  • Colds develop a runny nose and don’t often develop a fever.
  • Influenza starts with muscle ache, headache and fever and often develops a dry cough. 

If you suspect you have the flu, stay home, drink plenty of fluids, get lots of rest. Consult your family physician if your symptoms don’t improve – especially if you have other health concerns.
