1.Symptoms Come On Fast
When you have a cold, symptoms like a stuffy nose or sneezing start slowly and gradually get worse. Flu symptoms typically hit your body all of a sudden — and they’ll probably feel a lot stronger.
2.Chills
This is when you shiver because your body temperature changes. Chills aren’t typical signs of a cold — they’re an early sign of infection and high fever. They’re more common with flu or pneumonia.
