- Reviewed by Mallika Marshall, MD, Contributing Editor
Every year millions of Americans struggle with bouts of coughing, sneezing, sniffling, achiness, and fever caused by colds and flu. Though the two ailments share some symptoms, the severity varies. In general, colds are milder, while flu symptoms are more intense. For example, high fever and body aches are trademark symptoms of the flu. Also, colds do not usually result in serious health problems, while the flu can lead to pneumonia and, rarely, death. Cold symptoms generally last about a week, while flu symptoms can last from three to seven days or longer.
