So I have a severe case of the flu (despite having taken my shots) and it got me thinking:
When you have a cold, you cough up white/grey/clearish phlegm. When you have the flu, it's yellowish-green.
Whitecough = Common Cold
Greencough = Flu
I'm so sorry if everyone else had that worked out 2-3 years ago but my mind is really slow at the moment.

White cough is less severe respiratory infection. Greencough is Respiratory Infection. Blackcough is pneumonia. I had Greencough..... It was miserable.

Same here. I almost had to go to the emergency room, so you might be able to imagine how that was for me.

I'm sure we have had whitecough before. XD Wouldn't that just be like the common cold?

Oh. I didn't know Whitecough/Greencough were real. I thought they were terms that the Erins had come up with. Sorry everyone D:

The names are made up, Kangaroo, but they really are about the same as human sicknesses.
