However, it is often difficult to differentiate between the seasonal flu and the common cold because both have similar symptoms. When you being to feel sick and don't know that type of medication to take or whether or not to call your doctor and make an appointment, go over the symptoms of the flu first to determine whether or not what you are experiencing is the flu or something more serious. The first thing to note about the flu is that while its symptoms are very similar to that of the common cold, flu symptoms come on faster, strong and worse than that of the flu. The onset is much faster and much more severe. Feeling feverish or having a fever is one symptom of the flu. However, this is not a symptom that everyone experiences with the flu some people experience a fever while others never see one. A sore throat and/or a cough are other common flu symptoms. Keep in mind that a sore throat may seem more severe first thing in the morning that it does the rest of the day; this is an indicator that you are not experiencing strep throat. A runny or stuffy nose is another one of those symptoms that comes with the cough and sore throat when you have the flu. Along with the basic flu symptoms, others to look out for include chills, body aches, headaches and fatigue. While some adults do experience nausea, vomiting and diarrhea these are symptoms more common in children suffering from the flu. If you are unsure whether or not you are suffering from the flu, your doctor can perform a test to see whether or not your symptoms are indicative of this common illness. In addition, it is important to note that medications will not rid you of the flu; they will only relieve your symptoms. Your doctor may recommend an over the counter medication to help relieve your pain from the symptoms. You are still contagious and you should stay home and follow your doctor's orders to get better quickly.
