What is the difference between cold and flu?

A cold is a milder respiratory illness than the flu. While cold symptoms can make you feel bad for a few days, flu symptoms can make you feel quite ill for a few days to two weeks. The flu can also result in serious health problems such as pneumonia and hospitalisation.

Is it flu or the common cold?

It can be difficult to distinguish between the common cold and flu. The main difference is that the symptoms of influenza come on rapidly and are typically accompanied by muscle aches and a fever. The common cold has a more gradual onset and is associated with a runny nose, sneezing and blocked nasal passages.

What are common flu symptoms?

Flu symptoms come on quite quickly and can include muscle aches and a high fever. Headaches are very common. You will feel extremely weak and it may be difficult to get out of bed.

Flu symptoms can also include:

– sore throat
– congestion
– muscle aches
– loss of appetite
– diarrhoea or tummy pain
– nausea and vomiting
– cough

Most flu symptoms gradually improve over two to five days, but it’s not uncommon to feel run down for a week or more. A common complication of the flu is pneumonia, particularly in the young, elderly, or people with lung or heart problems. If you notice shortness of breath, referral should be made to the doctor.

What are the most common cold symptoms?

Cold symptoms usually begin with a sore throat, which usually goes away after a day or two. Nasal symptoms, runny nose, and congestion follow, along with a cough, by the fourth and fifth days.

Fever is uncommon in adults, but a slight fever is possible. Children are more likely to have a fever with a cold.

Cold symptoms usually last for about a week. During the first three days that someone has cold symptoms, they are contagious. This means they can pass the cold to others, so they should be advised to stay at home and get some much-needed rest.

Cough: A cough can also be a symptom of a cold or the flu. Individuals may also suffer from a mucous, chest, dry or tickly cough.

Sore throat: These are usually caused by bacterial or viral infections and can be among the first signs of coming down with a cold or flu.

Blocked nose: A blocked nose is caused when the membranes lining the nose become swollen as a result of inflamed blood vessels.

fever

Fever: A fever is a common symptom of the flu and if the body temperature is above 100.4F (38C) individuals are advised to take steps to bring it down.

Headaches: It is common to have headaches when someone comes down with the flu, largely because of a high temperature and dehydration.

Bodily aches and pains: One of the sure signs that someone is suffering from the flu rather than a cold is the general onset of aches and pains.

How to prevent cold & flu?

As the virus can spread through sneezing, coughing, contaminated hands or surfaces, ensuring good hygiene practices will help such as washing hands. To reduce spread, it is important that if someone has the flu or a cold that they cover their nose and mouth preferably with a tissue when they cough and sneeze and wash their hands afterward for at least 20 seconds or use an alcohol-based rub. Tissues need to be bagged and disposed of appropriately if they are used outside the home, otherwise, they can be disposed of in the normal household waste.

How is flu spread?

A virus that infects the nose, throat and lungs causes flu. Just like a cold virus, flu is usually spread from one person to the next when the infected person coughs or sneezes. The flu virus is passed from the lungs, throat or nose of one person through the air to another. In addition, when people touch a surface, or a person, that’s contaminated with flu germs and then touch their eyes, nose or mouth, they infect themselves with the flu virus.

How to treat a cold or flu?

As a way to recover from a cold or flu, you should:

Get plenty of rest and sleep
Stay indoors
Keep warm
Drink plenty of water and fluids to avoid dehydration
Ask your pharmacist about products and medications that will help you get some relief. Paracetamol or ibuprofen will relieve pain or a fever. Nasal saline sprays can help to clear a blocked nose and throat sprays and cough remedies may also help.
Once you feel well enough you can start your normal activities.

What are antibiotics?

Antibiotics are medicines used to treat infections that are caused by bacteria (germs). Antibiotics cannot treat infections caused by viruses (such as colds and the flu). Taking antibiotics when you don’t need them, like for a cold and flu won’t relieve your symptoms or speed up your recovery.
