Cold or Flu?

This blasted cold I contracted a week ago continues to incapacitate me. Or maybe it’s incarcerated me, as I’ve been confined to the house since the first symptoms appeared late Tuesday. Just in case it could be the flu, I’ll check this chart from the CDC.

Nah, not the flu. Definitely a cold, but it’s a bad one. The chart doesn’t mention an earache, but I have that, along with a sore throat. Am I actually suffering from immunity debt?
