No, the cold and the flu are two different kinds of viruses. Usually people only have one kind of virus infection at a time, but it is possible that if your immune system has been busy fighting one infection, you may be slightly more susceptible to catching another type of infection after that. However, this is usually not the case in otherwise healthy people.
