At Pop-Ins Schoolhouse we are always vigilant of our little ones getting sick. Here are some useful tips for parents about the difference between a cold or flu virus.
ACCORDING TO THE CENTER FOR DISEASE CONTROL - there are some subtle distinctions between having a cold or developing the flu:

Cold Versus Flu
Flu and the common cold are both respiratory illnesses but they are caused by different viruses. Because these two types of illnesses have similar symptoms, it can be difficult to tell the difference between them based on symptoms alone. In general, flu is worse than the common cold, and symptoms are more intense. Colds are usually milder than the flu. People with colds are more likely to have a runny or stuffy nose. Colds generally do not result in serious health problems, such as pneumonia, bacterial infections, or hospitalizations. Flu can have very serious associated complications.
How can you tell the difference between a cold and the flu?
Because colds and flu share many symptoms, it can be difficult (or even impossible) to tell the difference between them based on symptoms alone. Special tests that usually must be done within the first few days of illness can tell if a person has the flu.
What are the symptoms of the flu versus the symptoms of a cold?
The symptoms of flu can include fever or feeling feverish/chills, cough, sore throat, runny or stuffy nose, muscle or body aches, headaches and fatigue (tiredness). Cold symptoms are usually milder than the symptoms of flu. People with colds are more likely to have a runny or stuffy nose. Colds generally do not result in serious health problems.

GROUNDHOG DAY - If you’re in search of more information on Groundhogs and their shadows, Denver is the place to explore. In Denver, you can find out more about Groundhogs at the Denver Museum of Nature and Science. A really good day out in search of groundhogs is Sunday which offers a free day at the Denver Zoo. However, if you're willing to just find a field of prairie dogs, you can pretty much guess the varmints' verdicts on how much longer winter will last. So good luck from all our Teachers and Children at Pop-Ins Schoolhouse in Littleton, Co and enjoy your beautiful weather out and about looking for the elusive groundhog.
