Distinguishing: Cold or Flu?

This has probably happened to you: you've gotten sick, assessed your symptoms and diagnosed yourself as either having the cold or the flu.

I always thought that if the invading microbe enters from my nose, that I'll get a cold, but if it enters via my throat, then it's the flu. Apparently I was way off, and now that I think of it - that doesn't quite make sense.

So, I found this chart in the nurse's office at City College and I thought I should share it with you.

Enjoy your future self-diagnosis the right way.
