The common cold and influenza (flu) are contagious respiratory infections caused by different viruses. Common colds typically cause sneezing, runny nose, congestion, sore throat, and coughing, while influenza often produces more sudden symptoms such as fever, chills, headaches, significant muscle aches, and fatigue. Although many respiratory infections improve with supportive care, influenza can cause serious illness in certain patients and may require prescription antiviral treatment.

Symptoms of the common cold and influenza can overlap with COVID-19, strep throat, bronchitis, pneumonia, and other respiratory conditions. Medical evaluation helps determine whether diagnostic testing, prescription medication, or additional treatment is needed, particularly when symptoms are severe or progressively worsening.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s clinical guidance on influenza antiviral treatment, antiviral medications provide the greatest benefit when started early. Patients with severe or progressive influenza and those at increased risk of complications should receive prompt treatment when indicated, even if more than 48 hours have passed since symptoms began.

Patients experiencing severe difficulty breathing, persistent chest pain, new confusion, severe dehydration, or other signs of serious illness should seek emergency medical attention rather than routine urgent care.
