Cold and Flu Care in Riverside, CA

Understanding Colds and Flu

Colds and flu are caused by different viruses, but they share some similar symptoms, such as a sore throat, runny or stuffy nose, cough, and fatigue. Flu symptoms are often more severe and can include high fever, body aches, and chills. Both conditions are highly contagious and can spread easily, making it important to seek timely medical attention.
