❄️ Flu or a Cold? Know the Difference This Winter 🤧
A runny nose and a sore throat can make it hard to tell the difference, but flu and the common cold are not the same.
🔹 A Cold usually develops gradually and is often mild, with symptoms like sneezing, a runny nose, sore throat, and mild tiredness.
🔹 Flu tends to strike suddenly and can leave you feeling much worse, with fever, chills, body aches, headaches, cough, and extreme fatigue.
While both are caused by viruses, flu can lead to more serious complications, especially in vulnerable individuals.
💙 This winter, take care of yourself:
✔️ Get plenty of rest
✔️ Stay hydrated
✔️ Practise good hygiene
✔️ Seek medical advice if symptoms become severe or persistent
Early care and prevention can make all the difference.
