Question

【題目】Differences between colds and flu

Both colds and influenza(flu)(流感) are caused by viruses and the two illnesses can have similar symptoms(癥狀). At first it can be difficult to tell the difference. In general, the symptoms of influenza are more serious and last longer than those of a cold.

The main difference between cold and flu symptoms is that flu more commonly includes fever: the fever can be 38℃ or higher and last for 3-5 days. The great tiredness caused by flu can last for weeks while cold symptoms are generally not serious and last for about 1 week. Also, runny nose is more common with cold than flu. Vomiting(嘔吐) is another key difference: vomiting is not usually connected with the common cold but can be found in flu.

Although the differences above are generally true, it is impossible to know for sure if it is flu or cold. For example, it is possible to have flu without fever.
