While both are respiratory illnesses, the flu comes on suddenly and is much more severe, often causing a high fever, pronounced body aches, severe fatigue, and a dry cough. In contrast, a common cold develops gradually and is usually mild, with symptoms mostly limited to a runny or stuffy nose, sore throat, and sneezing.
