Feeling run down and wondering if it’s a cold or the flu?

Both can look similar at first, but they show up differently and move at different speeds. Dr. Rob Danoff, Program Director of our Family Medicine Residency Program at Jefferson Health – Northeast, explains how symptoms like fever and body aches and how quickly you start feeling sick can help tell the difference.
