Is It The Flu, Swine Flu Or Common Cold?

By WKBW Directors

We all know when we have been hit by a bug, but how can you tell if it's the seasonal flu, the swine flu or the common cold?
Doctors say symptoms of a cold are less severe: stuffy nose, congestion, some body aches and a growing cough.
In the flu and swine flu, symptoms consist of fever, more body aches, dry cough
and severe fatigue. In young children and seniors, seasonal flu could be fatal.
With the swine flu, young people six-months to 25 years of age, and pregnant women, are at risk the most for serious complications.
The best way to avoid all of these bugs? Wash your hands and keep them away
from your mouth and nose and eyes.
