The Uncommon Common Cold
From Wikipedia:
For more information:
Common symptoms are cough, sore throat, runny nose, nasal congestion, and sneezing; sometimes accompanied by 'pink eye', muscle aches, fatigue, malaise, headaches, muscle weakness, uncontrollable shivering, loss of appetite, and rarely extreme exhaustion. Fever is more commonly a symptom of influenza ... The symptoms of a cold usually resolve after about one week; however, it is not rare that symptoms last up to three weeks.Aw, $@%#!!!, I'm in the "not rare" it-sucks-for-a-long-time category.
For more information:
- Mayo Clinic's Flu Diagnoser (I have a cold, not the flu)
- Children's Hospital Flu vs Cold Chart (Again, looks like I have a cold)
- H1N1 vs Cold vs Flu (Again, looks like a cold).
