A cold typically causes mild symptoms such as a runny nose or sore throat, while flu appears suddenly with fever, fatigue, and muscle aches.

These medicines target specific symptoms — paracetamol reduces fever and pain, decongestants clear nasal passages, and cough syrups soothe throat irritation.

Check the ingredients before combining treatments, as many contain paracetamol. Consult a pharmacist if you’re unsure.
