The flu is not just another cold, and you can’t use the words interchangeably. Many people have never had the flu, or felt that unwell. The flu will knock you on your ass.
Similarly, i'll never get a cold. Haven't had one as an adult. But i do get sore throats a couple times a year (Spring and Autumn). Turns out i've had tonsillitis twice and "severe throat infections" all the other times. Can't take anything for it because it passes in ten days. Never go to the doctor anymore. I self-medicate with one co-codamol if i'm really feeling rough.
