Question: I'M SICK :[ do I have a cold or the flu!?!!?!!?
how can you tell the difference,
I need to know so I can take the right medicine!.

I have a stuffy/runny nose, my throat hurts, I feel numb and feverish, and i'm sneezing and coughing!.Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
The two things that differentiate cold from the flu are that the flu typically has a high temperature and severe diffuse muscle aching!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

It sounds like the flu but the only way to really tell is to have the doc to a test on your boogers - really!
But if you take some theraflu or just something to relieve cold symptoms, it should help with most of your symptoms - get something with tylenol, a decongestant and maybe something for cough - then you will be fine!.
I always just go by the symptoms, not the "cold or flu" part!.
Good luck and feel better!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I agree with dinty!.!.!.!. The diffence between the two are increased temps(usually over 100) and body aches come with the flu!. Good luck and hope you feel better!Www@Answer-Health@Com

get a flu test at an urgent care and you will know for sure!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
