What is Cold and flu?

Colds and flus are both respiratory infections, but the flu tends to cause more severe symptoms and comes on faster. The common cold is usually milder, with a runny nose and sore throat. Both are caused by viruses and do not require antibiotics. Rest and symptom relief are the main treatments.
