Cold, Flu, or Allergy?
Each year, millions of school and work days are missed because of colds and flu, and we¡¯re heading into their prime season now. How you can best treat your condition depends on whether it¡¯s a cold or flu that¡¯s ailing you. Since these diseases share many of the same symptoms, they¡¯re sometimes hard to tell apart.
