The flu and colds are both caused by viruses, but they're different kinds. Imagine the flu as a big, fast-moving monster that hits you all at once, it makes your body feel very weak and gives you a high fever. A cold is like a little, slow-moving goblin that sneaks in quietly and just makes your nose run and your throat hurt.
Examples
- A child gets hit by the flu after being around a sick classmate during playtime.
- Your friend sneezes in your face, and you start feeling a cold the next day.
