🀧🦠 Cold or flu - knowing the difference might not seem urgent, but it can help you act right. A cold often develops slowly and stays mostly around your nose and throat, while the flu tends to hit fast, affects your whole body and leaves you feeling really unwell.

Rest well, keep hydrated and if things feel worse than β€œjust a cold”, don’t hesitate to seek advice.
