Sneezing is a sure sign of a cold, along with nasal congestion
and a dry, hacking cough. But fevers will probably be low
grade. Other symptoms, such as a headache or fatigue, will
be annoying, yet mild.

With the flu, symptoms tend to come on quickly and are almost
always accompanied by a fever lasting three or four days.
Body aches and chills are common, as is a dry cough. Another
flu clue: time of year. The flu hits during the winter months,
roughly November through April.
Colds are by far the most common illness in the world. In
the United States, 90% of the population will have at least
one cold per year. The flu is similar, and somtimes has the
same symptoms as a cold, but is often much more severe and
lasts longer. Cold and flu viruses attack the nose, nasal
sinuses, throat and the upper breathing tubes (trachea and
bronchi). As they invade the moist skin lining of these structures,
they cause runny nose, sinus congestion, sneezing, sore throat
and cough. Fever might also occur, usually with the flu. For
most healthy people the difference between colds and flu aren't
important. For the elderly, very young children, or otherwise
susceptible people, the flu can be very serious.
Herbalist and Physician says you can begin a cold and flu
prevention program as early as August, "because prevention
is not achieved overnight." That way, you can take several

not too late. As Herbalist put it, prevention is better late
than never.
