The main difference between a cold and the flu is how severe the symptoms are. Flu symptoms tend to be more severe than a cold, so you may feel more tired or unable to go to work if you have the flu. Another key difference between a cold and the flu is a fever. Although your temperature may rise a little if you have a cold, the flu can cause a higher fever that can last for 3 - 4 days before easing. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWhat are the main symptoms of a cold?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA blocked or runny nose\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA sore throat\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHeadaches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCoughs \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSneezing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA raised temperature\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePressure in your ears and face \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLoss of taste and smell\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWhat are the symptoms of the flu?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSymptoms of the flu include most if not all the symptoms of a cold, as well as:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA sudden fever - a temperature of 38°C or above\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAching\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFeeling tired \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDifficulty sleeping\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLoss of appetite\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDiarrhoea or tummy pain \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFeeling sick and being sick\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHow to treat symptoms of cold and flu\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe best remedy for a cold or the flu is to rest, keep yourself warm and drink plenty of water to avoid dehydration.
