Cold, flu, and COVID-19 share several overlapping symptoms, which can make self-diagnosis difficult. Fever and body aches are common with both flu and COVID-19, but rare or mild with a typical cold. Onset also differs: flu symptoms tend to appear suddenly, while cold and COVID-19 symptoms often develop more gradually. Loss of taste or smell, though not universal, remains a distinguishing feature that can occur with COVID-19.
Because these conditions can present similarly, proper evaluation and testing are the most reliable way to determine an accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment plan. If you or a loved one are experiencing symptoms, donโt wait to get answers.
