Guide to Colds, Flu, and Allergies

About this site: If you're not sure whether it's a cold or the flu that has you feeling so lousy, check out this guide from Better Homes and Gardens. The site has a handy reference that quickly summarizes the difference between the two including causes, treatment strategies, and tips for when it's time to call your doctor. Allergies are also covered. http://www.bhg.com/bhg/category.jhtml?categoryid=/templatedata/bhg/category/data/c_208.xml

-  Pluses: The section describing over-the-counter medications offers uses, warnings, and possible side effects.

-  Best feature: Check off your symptoms in the interactive guide and it lets you know whether you're likelier to have the flu or just a cold.
