A cold normally develops gradually and causes a stuffy or runny nose, sneezing, sore throat, cough, mild fever and tiredness. It usually lasts two to four days.
The flu, however, usually affects the whole body. Symptoms include: a high fever (usually 39°C or above), chills, headaches, intense muscle pains, exhaustion, loss of appetite, coughing, and sometimes a blocked nose and sore throat. It can last a week or more.
People do annoy me when they say they've got the flu,when what they've really got is a cold. Judging by the symptoms It looks like I really have got the flu. Great. Just what I want.
