The flu usually comes on suddenly with a high fever, muscle aches, headache, and significant fatigue.<\/p>\n<p>The common cold, on the other hand, develops more slowly with milder symptoms such as a stuffy nose, sneezing, and an itchy throat, without a high fever. Knowing these differences is important so that the right treatment can be given.<\/p>\n<p>For both conditions, getting plenty of rest, drinking lots of water, and maintaining good nutrition can speed up recovery. However, if your flu symptoms are accompanied by shortness of breath, a high fever that does not go down, or last more than a week, you should consult a doctor promptly for further examination.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The flu and the common cold are often confused.
