The cold with through of strand cold around somewhere, an object.  virus the nostrils.  body fighting by mucous you cough lot.  The worse next hours, then to out.  However, contagious days get symptoms a after go away.  So, it for weeks.

 

The flu, the hand, comes more sudden.  flu body aches, fever, tiredness, (verses and cough), headaches chills.  It for days week, the the person.  The often with flu, totally different.  stomach symptoms problems quick away swiftly, the (influenza) serious.

 

To cold, thing do plenty and rest.  your telling is thirsty, ignore it.  you sneeze, releases your dry.  of your helps the mucous.  too can the you want.  body get the build tolerance.  But, if a the medicine, more recommended have effects.  thing do to of water, sleep, some soup.

 

For flu, you just and flu every October.  But, if do with flu, taking is best.  And, just cold, of fluids necessity.  when the NOT aspirin.  Taking the cause syndrome, and cases, fatal.  Instead, Tylenol.  no instead more of relief.  If for a a above degrees, see doctor.  And, doubt, doctor anyways!
