Flu or cold?
With the arrival of the autumn and winter seasons, bad weather is one of the highlights of these beautiful seasons of the year, just after a few warm months and good weather.
With the change of season, it is common that many people suffer a decline in their defenses, which is why it is useful to know how we can increase defenses.
The same happens with the change of schedule, and with the decrease in hours of light, which also affects negatively in many people, causing even the appearance of the so-called autumnal asthenia (or depression in autumn).
For all these reasons, it is common for many people to aggravate or resent themselves, and to question whether we are facing a flu or cold. What are the differences between the two?
