Answers:
They are both viruses, but cause a different degree of symptoms.

The "Common Cold" typically results in a rapid onset of symptoms that include a low grade temp (99-100 F), runny nose, chills, and a cough.

The "Flu" (which has not been greatly seen at this time of year yet), has a rapid succession of severe body aches, high temp (>103 F), runny nose, and dry hacking cough.

Hope this helps.Health Question & Answer

I came across this quote on here once:

If you had the flu and there was a hundred dollar bill on your front lawn, you wouldn't give a monkeys uncle (you wouldn't care)....if you had a cold or flu like symptoms, you would struggle with your aches and pains but still go out and get it!

Which category do you fall into :P
