Signs and Symptoms of the Flu

Your patient is presenting with a stuffed up nose, sneezing, tiredness and a general feeling of being run down. But is it a cold, or is it the flu?

The symptoms of both can be similar, but flu can be very serious or even life threatening in those who are very young, very elderly or who have a compromised immune system. The key is in recognizing flu as early as possible and offering the best course of treatment quickly.
