Cold
The common cold will likely cause a blocked or runny nose, cough and sore throat. Most of us will have suffered from a cold at some point. The best treatment is rest, while you should also ensure you drink plenty of water.
Flu
Flu causes similar symptoms to a cold, but these come on very quickly and can also include headaches and fever. You might also feel very tired and unable to go into work or carry out everyday tasks.
While flu will go away with rest, there is a vaccination available for at-risk sufferers, such as the elderly. This is given once a year, due to the fact that the viruses that cause flu are constantly evolving.
There is also the possibility that flu in at-risk patients can lead to the more serious pneumonia, so it’s best to keep a close eye on any symptoms and speak to a doctor if you have any doubts.
