What is the difference between a cold and the flu?
Nov 3, 2013

Dr. Jihad Irani Family Medicine
It's a classic question, and classic answer. I am going to refer you to other websites for that: http://www.webmd.com/cold-and-flu/cold-guide/flu-cold-symptoms
Cold basically is a mild form of upper respiratory infection. Flu is more dramatic (higher fever, feeling really sick, muscle pain, etc.)
Note: we've been seeing many people with "Flu" these days in Lebanon
