\nAs the seasons change and temperatures fluctuate, it’s common for people to experience symptoms of respiratory illnesses. The common cold and the flu are two of the most prevalent conditions during these times. While they may share similar symptoms, understanding their differences can help properly diagnose and treat.<\/p>\n

Both the cold and the flu are highly contagious viral infections that spread through respiratory droplets when an infected person coughs, sneezes, or talks. Additionally, both viruses can survive on surfaces for a short period, making transmission through touch possible.<\/p>\n
