Am I experiencing a common cold or the flu?!


Question: Am I experiencing a common cold or the flu.?
I had a sore throat yesterday. Today, I woke up and my throat was still sore until an hour later, it went away.

Now, instead of a sore throat, I have a stuffy nose!

Then, later on today, my head started to get hot and "sting" (probably fever).

Finally, I am aching all over, especially in the hips.Health Question & Answer


Answers:
Based on the possibility of a fever, I would guess flu. Most people don't have a fever with a cold. And the flu is an upper respiratory illness, so that would account for the stuffy nose.Health Question & Answer
