COVID-19 FLU and RSV - how do we tell the difference?

It is difficult tell the difference between flu and COVID-19 by the symptoms alone because they have some of the same signs and symptoms. Specific testing could be helpful to tell what the illness is, confirm a diagnosis and contact your physician for possible treatment is needed.

Similarities in signs and symptoms of COVID-19 and FLU per the CDC

Fever or feeling feverish/having chills
Cough
Shortness of breath or difficulty breathing
Fatigue (tiredness)
Sore throat
Runny or stuffy nose
Muscle pain or body aches
Headache
Vomiting
Diarrhea (more frequent in children with flu, but can occur in any age with COVID-19)
Change in or loss of taste or smell, although this is more frequent with COVID-19.

Some differences:

Flu

Most people who get flu will recover on their own in a few days to two weeks, but some people can experience severe complications, requiring hospitalization.

Covid-19

Some people are asymptomatic. If symptomatic, people can take over a week to recover from symptoms.

Anyone who has had COVID-19, even if their illness was mild, or if they had no symptoms can experience post-COVID conditions. (Post-COVID complications are a range of symptoms that can last weeks or months after first being infected with the virus that causes COVID-19 or can appear weeks after infection. )

RSV can infect anyone, but is most dangerous in infants and the elderly. Its symptoms are similar to those of the common cold. They tend to run their course with only mild intensity in adults and older children over a few days. In infants and elderly, symptoms tend to be more severe, and can include fevers and wheezing. Some cases may require hospitalization.

If you are experiencing wheezing, other breathing difficulties, shortness of breath or lethargy these are severe symptoms and you should not order this test - you should contact your physician urgently or go to the hospital or urgent care center.or if these severe symptoms develop while waiting for the results of your test from Resolve MD - you should contact your physician urgently or go to the hospital or urgent care center.

We do not test clients under two years of age.
