In general, the flu is worse than the common cold. Symptoms such as fever, body aches, tiredness, chills, and cough are more common and intense with the flu. People with colds are more likely to have a runny or stuffy nose.  If you get sick with flu symptoms, in most cases, you should stay home and avoid contact with other people except to get medical care.  Learn more at www.flufreepa.com.
