What is the difference between the common cold and the flu?
I am a 28 year old female and I don' t think I ever had the flu. A friend says I might have had it and thought it was a cold. How does the common cold differ from the flu? What are the symptoms of the flu?

the flu adds a fever, diarrhea, and sometimes nausea to the common cold symptoms. i,ll stick with the cold, if i had a choice.

david covered most of the different symptoms ,fevers, Sickness , are some of the differences, another is every Bone in you body aches, ive just spoken to my doctor on phone as i have a really bad strain of flu right now and have developed a serious lung infection and am having difficulty breathing, fevers, been seeing visual distortions and everything, also was coughing and chucking up for about 48 hours.
Another bad sign is that i wasnt able to pee for the first 3 days, it didnt matter how much water i drank and kept down, i was that dehydrated.
You know when you have the proper flu, on tuesday, i wasn't able to walk without snacking my head into wall or tripping over stuff, i was almost incapacitated and drifting in and out of consciousness.
Doctors talk about a £10 dollar/pound note test, they say if u drop a note in front of someone with flu they wont be able to pick it up, but as i'm a Scotsman, i would need to have 2 broken arms to stop me picking up the note.
They tell u theres no treatment, but i was having fevers and coughing till threw up even this morning, doctor was about as usefull as a used peice of toilet tissue, so i made up my own meds, have stopped couching, managed to drink 4 litres of water and even eat and i havent thrown up since i took the mix.
