You suddenly have a cough. Do you have omicron, a cold or the flu?

With the rise of omicron cases nationwide, many want to know how to tell the difference between symptoms of COVID-19 and that of a common cold or flu.

“As we know, this virus is highly, highly contagious – much more than the previous variants,” said Dr. Hai Shao, infectious disease physician with Sharp Chula Vista.

He mentioned that omicron symptoms are similar to previous COVID variants.

“They include fever, chills, headache, sore throat, and as it progresses, people will start having cough, shortness of breath, and difficulty breathing,” said Dr. Shao.

He pointed out that while many symptoms are similar between COVID-19 and a common cold or flu, there are certain symptoms exclusive to COVID.

Congestion, cough, body aches: Is it Omicron or the common cold?

health No Comments »

The world is still learning about the Omicron variant of COVID-19. Health experts say that the symptoms are different from the Delta variant, yet quite similar to the common cold.

Is it a Cold or the Flu

health No Comments »

Coughing, congestion, and sore throat—you know you don’t feel well, but how do you know if you’re battling the flu or the common cold? “We do see plenty of both and a lot of times the symptoms kind of overlap. So it’s very easy to confuse,” said Dr. Robert Castro, an infectious disease physician with Lee Health.

While the symptoms are similar, the flu is typically more severe. With the flu compared to the cold, it’s more common to have more abrupt symptoms, as well as higher fevers, also headaches, chills, and body aches, which is less common with people who have a cold. Usually a cold is more localized to the head and neck area,” explained Dr. Castro.

Doctors say a cold and the flu can be contracted in the same way and last about the same amount of time, but if the symptoms last longer than two weeks patients need to seek medical care. “The flu tends to have more complications than a cold. One of the more common complications we get concerned about is pneumonia,” he said.

If the symptoms are localized to the upper respiratory area, but the patient isn’t running a fever or having body aches, it’s most likely a common cold. “There’s no specific antiviral for a cold, so we usually recommend if needed some over the counter medications for congestion sore throat anything like that,” said Dr. Castro.

But if a patient has the flu, doctors can prescribe an antiviral medication. Regardless of what’s causing you to be sick if you don’t feel well make sure to get plenty of rest and see your doctor if the symptoms get worse.
