(3) However, there are some distinct differences between cold and flu symptoms. (4) First of all, people rarely get a fever when they have a cold. (5) In contrast, people with the flu typically get a fever of about 100 to 104 degrees Fahrenheit, which lasts three to four days. (6) Also, although a cold is at times accompanied by a headache, headaches are much more likely with the flu. (7) Third, cold victims experience at most a few slight aches and pains.
