How do you know if it's a cold or the flu?
I woke up a couple of days ago with the sorest throat, and then got a runny nose and a lot of congestion. I feel like hell, and I can't afford to go to a doctor without health insurance. I feel very achy everywhere and can't rest and just lie around feeling miserable. What do you think it is? And what should I take? I have taken contac and that seems to not be working.

I've had the same problem as you.
mine was
fever + sore throat + runny nose + cough
so i took care of the fever 1st, then the sore throat, then the cough, and the runny nose last. Just drink lots of water for the time being. Feeling achy is a sign of flu ? Get someone to look after if you can't see a doctor man.

sounds like the cold to me. colds don't usually make you that sick. If you feel achy all over, head hurts, stomach aches, vomiting, diarrhea, have a fever, and feel you can't get out of bed. chances are you may have the influenza virus. See a doctor as soon as possible to be sure.
