Colds and flu are both viral infections, but have different symptoms. With a cold you will have symptoms such as a runny nose or a sore throat. Flu symptoms come on suddenly and may include fever, body aches or vomiting.
With no cure in sight for the cold or the flu, over-the-counter treatments can at best bring symptom relief.
Once you or your child has contracted these illnesses, there are a lot of natural options that can shorten the duration and may help you feel better along the way.
