• The cold and the flu can have similar symptoms, both come from a respiratory tract infection, in the nose, sinus and throat. The difference is in how intense they feel and how common they are. In general, symptoms of the flu occur quickly (especially fever and chills), while symptoms of a cold happen slowly (symptoms build over 48 hours. An important difference is that the flu can be prevented. Make sure to get your flu shot!
