Flue and a Cold are differnet what is the difference?

Question:

Answers:
The flu, short for influenza, is a viral disease of the respiratory tract - the nose, throat, bronchial tubes and lungs - and is highly contagious. It is spread through airborne droplets of moisture produced by coughs or sneezes. When you breathe these germs in through your nose or mouth, you may come down with the flu, generally within one to three days of being exposed

A cold is a minor viral or bacterial infection of the nose and throat and can occur in any season. Unlike treatment for flu, seeing your doctor when you have a cold is unnecessary for most healthy
people, unless your illness exceeds 10 to 14 days. If it persists beyond this time you should see a GP to rule out a secondary infection, such as sinusitis or bronchitis.
