Answers:

Initially, the flu may seem like a common cold with a runny nose, sneezing and sore throat. But colds usually develop slowly, whereas the flu tends to come on suddenly. And although a cold can be a nuisance, you usually feel much worse with the flu.

Common signs and symptoms of the flu include:

■Fever over 100 F (38 C)
■Chills and sweats
■Headache
■Dry cough
■Aching muscles, especially in your back, arms and legs
■Fatigue and weakness
■Nasal congestion
When to see a doctor
If you have flu symptoms and are at risk of complications, see your doctor right away. Taking antiviral drugs within the first 48 hours after you first notice symptoms may reduce the length of your illness and help prevent more-serious problems.

If you do come down with the flu, these measures may help ease your symptoms:

■Drink plenty of liquids. Choose water, juice and warm soups to prevent dehydration. Drink enough so that your urine is clear or very pale yellow.
■Rest. Get more sleep to help your immune system fight infection.
■Consider pain relievers. Use an over-the-counter pain reliever, such as acetaminophen (Tylenol, others) or ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin, others), to combat the achiness associated with influenza. Don't give aspirin to children or teens because of the risk of Reye's syndrome, a rare, but potentially fatal disease.

Flu. Classic symptoms. Drink tons of water and get lots of rest. Take Dayquil/Nyquil.
