Notes:
The flu and the common cold are both respiratory illnesses. They are caused by different viruses. Because they have similar symptoms, it can be difficult to tell them apart. But generally cold symptoms are much milder than flu.
Colds are minor infections of the throat, nose, and sinuses. There is not a vaccine against the common cold because colds can be caused by nearly 250 different viruses. It is impractical for scientists to prepare a vaccine that protects against all of the cold viruses. Also, there's less need for a cold vaccine. Colds generally come and go with no serious complications. You're miserable for a few days, then it's over.
Common cold symptoms include:
CoughSore throat
Stuffy nose
Runny nose
Mild fever
The flu, on the other hand, often causes higher fever, chills, body ache, and fatigue.
When to see a doctor?
These symptoms are signs that flu may have developed into something serious like pneumonia. See a doctor if you have any of these symptoms:
Difficulty breathing
Persistent fever
Painful swallowing
Persistent coughing
Persistent congestion and headaches
Vomiting or inability to keep fluids down
Note:
Question: What is an antibiotic?Answer: Any of a large group of chemical substances, as penicillin or streptomycin, produced by various microorganisms and fungi, having the capacity in dilute solutions to inhibit the growth of or to destroy bacteria and other microorganisms, used chiefly in the treatment of infectious diseases.
