They have something in common: both diseases are caused by highly contagious viruses and are often confused by people, although the flu is much more severe than a cold. But even a cold should not be overcome and cannot be considered a banality. But going through the flu is literally a health hazard. Symptoms of a cold include rhinitis, sneezing, watery eyes and an irritated throat. This disease is limited to the upper respiratory tract, does not arise suddenly from full health shivering and high temperature.

Temperatures, usually up to 38 ° C, appear one to two days after the onset of rhinitis. Influenza, in turn, is an infectious disease caused by a virus. It occurs clinically as an acute inflammatory disease of the upper respiratory tract. Her onset is usually sudden, out of full health. It often begins with chills, headaches, and the temperature rises to 39-40 ° C. Complete recovery usually occurs within two to four weeks of the first symptoms.
