*💡 Pro Tip: The "Neck Up" vs. "Neck Down" Rule.* A quick way to tell: *Cold symptoms are mostly from the neck up* (nose, throat, head). *Flu symptoms are systemic and hit your whole body* below the neck (severe aches, fatigue, chest discomfort). If you have sudden high fever and body aches, suspect the flu and call your doctor **within 48 hours**—you may be eligible for antiviral drugs (like Tamiflu) that can shorten the illness and prevent complications.
