7. Flu-Like Symptoms
Because of the flu-like symptoms, it can be hard to identify if the patient is suffering from walking pneumonia or just a common flu. In fact, these two conditions have many similar symptoms. Just like flu, walking pneumonia can also trigger muscle pain, chills, sore throat, and coughing.
However, there are other symptoms that can help doctors to differentiate walking pneumonia from common flu. Walking pneumonia may also cause a dry cough and the presence of flu can lead to both a phlegmy expectoration and dry cough. Sometimes, the flu can trigger more severe aches in the body.
