Cold or Flu?

Do you know the difference between cold symptoms and flu symptoms?

While Cozi can’t take the place of consulting your physician for a diagnosis, we’ve done some research to help you find out if that bed head hairstyle you’ve worked on all day is due to a simple cold, or if you should seek treatment for the flu.

Take our flu quiz for yourself, for someone in your family, or to brush up on cold and flu symptoms before anyone in your home gets sick.


1. Do you have a fever?

2. Do you have a headache?

3. Do you have a dry cough?

4. Do you have severe body aches and pains?

5. Do you feel exhausted?

6. Do you have the chills?

Indication & Important Safety Information: TAMIFLU is prescribed for treating adults and children 1 year and older with influenza (flu) whose symptoms started within the last day or two. TAMIFLU can also reduce the chance of getting the flu in patients 1 year and older. TAMIFLU is not a substitute for the annual flu vaccinations (you should still get the flu shot every year).

Before taking TAMIFLU, tell your doctor if you are pregnant or nursing, or if you have kidney disease, heart disease, respiratory disease, or other serious health conditions. Also, let your doctor know if you are taking any other medications or if you have received nasally administered influenza virus vaccine during the past two weeks.

If you develop an allergic reaction or a severe rash, stop taking TAMIFLU and contact your healthcare professional immediately, as it may be very serious. People with the flu, particularly children and adolescents, may be at an increased risk of self injury and confusion shortly after taking TAMIFLU and should be closely monitored for signs of unusual behavior. A healthcare professional should be contacted immediately if the patient taking TAMIFLU shows any signs of unusual behavior.

The most common side effects are mild to moderate nausea and vomiting.
