It can be difficult to tell if you have a common cold or seasonal influenza based on symptoms alone. Comparing the two illnesses may help you differentiate whether you have a cold or flu this season.
We value and respect our HERWriters' experiences, but everyone is different. Many of our writers are speaking from personal experience, and what's worked for them may not work for you. Their articles are not a substitute for medical advice, although we hope you can gain knowledge from their insight.
