How to tell the flu from a cold

I have idk tep 96.7 ✅ good

There IS no way to tell the flu from a cold. Two and a half weeks ago I developed a dripping nose, asthma, and laryhgitis, and a temperature of normal to 99..2.. Then I got better and went back to work. Then my nose stuffed up completely and ran down my face for two days. Temperature 99.3. I got better and went back to work. Then I got terrible diarrhea. I thought maybe I had covid since I can count on the fingers of one hadn the viruses that could act like that. Instead I tested positive for influenza A. Day after that I was well. Doctor said it wasn't a mistake. A lot of people never get very sick with the flu and never run much of a fever. He said I've probably had the flu far more times than I ever knew it. Head of maintenance at my apartment complex said he had the flu and he had no fever at all.

I researched o the internet. A lot of people never have much of a fever with teh flu and never get very sick, and 20% never have any symptoms of all - though they're contagious. So STOP with the catastrophizing it isn't helping ANYONE.

The one year I got a flu vaccination I got the worst case of the flu. Never again!

Whos here in 2026 experiencing superflu?!

I think I am one of those people who gets common cold at least 5-6 times a year. I used to go through the whole shenanigans, sore throat, running nose, the fever , then cough and the phlegm. Believe it or not I got cure, all thanks to so called pseudoscience of homeopathy, Rhustox 200, it works.

Starve a Cold, Feed a Flu

What about a video comparing and contrasting cold and allergies.

What happened too corona virus lol

I literally don’t even feel sick from of these anymore.

The older I get , the less fazed I get. It’s nothing to me.

So I’m watching this information I can see that I have the flu hands out, but I’m still going to request for a Covid vaccine just to ensure that that’s negative. I’ll keep y’all posted. Normally, I self diagnose myself because I’m tired of paying stupid amounts of money at these Urgent Care’s doctors office. It’s just better doing it that way for me.

One time I had a virus but not enimore😊

A cold you can go to work, feel a bit rough but function, flu you have to stay away because you can't function with it.

Thats all Winter does is make Everyone sick

You can tell when someone is not feeling well from the smell of their Poop

This is a bad virus this year, Between Coughing Sneezing and Farting, I Almost Pooped my pants, Never Trust a Fart when you are sick

LOL I bust out a laugh when she said, "no matter how fast you chug orange juice"😂😂

I opened my. window when i was sweating with hot floshes .. I LOVE COLD WEATHER. NOW I SICK WITH COLD R NOSE

If I lost almost the sense of smell, how can I recover it?

Why won’t chicken soup be comforting 😅sweet-mouth

Dont forget the mask. If you absolutely have to go out, please wear the mask so you're minimizing the spread to others

Flu 😢😢

The effort given for this production..top tier 👌🏽

5:47 you are drinking water, not soup 😉

2:03 her in the train
Everyone else: 👁️👁️

It’s not the flu season… it’s lack of vitamin D

Interesting that in the US, you guys use John Doe and Jane Doe instead of John Brown and Jane Doe as a generic names, or names unidentified persons.

2-3x a year for an adult? I get it almost every other week. My immune system sucks so bad lmao.

You mean water soup? 5:55

The virus needs cold environments. We catch more in the winter because it’s easier for the virus to find a cold throat/nose to leave on.
The virus doesn’t cause a fever. Your defence system causes a fever to raise the body temp.
Thats why hot soup or tea, does help.

Calls World War 1 a battle?

Didn't know the difference until now. Thank you

So that guy was right, covid-19 was just a flu that spread fast. We just overreacted. 😂

Cold - not serious. Comes on gradually, starting with scratchy throat. Typical 9 day trajectory. 3 days onset, 3 day peak, 3 day recovery. You can usually manage to live normally during it though it helps to take medicines to manage symptoms.
Flu - serious. Comes on suddenly. Cold like symptoms but also debilitating weakness, fever. Wipe out - you can’t live normally. Complications like chest infections are more likely so doctors will sometimes prescribe anti-biotics e.g if mucus is green/dark.
If people say at work “I have a touch of flu today”, they DON’T! If you had flu you wouldn’t be able to go to work.

The 8 million dearhs in Spain during the flu epidemic of 1918 -1920 seems to be a gross overestimation. Most soures show a ¼ million figure,

The only actual cure is time and chicken soup

Sadvhow the downside of the cold is how much it cost businesses yearly, not affect on people. 😢😢

If someone with a cold says they have flu I'm very tempted to punch them. Anyone who's actually had flu knows that it's orders of magnitude worse than a cold, no matter how bad the cold is. A really bad cold is a cakewalk compared to real influenza

we need to disable the sneeze & cough reflex, no sneeze no viral plume cloud.

I'm VERY UPSET that my mother DOESN'T wash her hands when she came home from work and from public places especially after she took public transit and just touched the big bowls from the drawer and the small bowls from the upper cabinet as well as the utensils from the drawer in the kitchen. Even the hands look clean without color of brown or black dirt when not washed when coming home from other places, the germs are very tiny and could only be seen under the microscope. I also see her keep on touching her face in public places after touching items in stores. I'm also worried about some people driving who cough and sneeze without having time to cover their mouths spread the germs around the vehicle. I was also VERY ANGRY seeing the cleaning lady NOT wash her hands when she came straight to my kitchen to put the vegetables in the casserole after she threw the trash / garbage. I ALWAYS MADE IT A HABIT TO WASH MY HANDS AFTER I CAME HOME FROM WORK AND ALSO AFTER COMING HOME FROM PUBLIC PLACES. I'm very scared of catching the COVID variant, Nimbus which causes very painful sore throat and other kinds of germs when my mother and the cleaning lady don't always wash their hands every time they come to the kitchen.
