感冒與流感都可有呼吸道症狀。流感亦可伴較明顯的全身不適，但症狀會重疊，不能只憑症狀表格自行確診或排除其他感染。Colds and influenza can both cause respiratory symptoms. Influenza may also cause more general illness, but symptoms overlap. A symptom chart cannot establish a diagnosis or rule out another infection.
與醫護討論甚麼？What can I discuss with a healthcare professional?
請向醫護說明症狀開始時間、嚴重程度、變化、病歷及已用藥物。是否需要檢測、用藥或其他安排，應按評估決定，不應只靠「似感冒」而延誤求醫。Describe onset, severity, changes, medical history and medicines used. Testing, medicines and follow-up depend on assessment. Do not delay care merely because an illness seems like a cold.
