The cold and flu are both respiratory illnesses, but they are caused by different types of viruses. Flu symptoms usually come on quickly (within 3-6 hours) and consist of a fever, body aches, dry cough, and extreme tiredness. Cold symptoms are less severe and people experience a stuffy nose, productive cough, slight tiredness, and limited body aches.
If your boyfriend doesn't have a cough and high fever, it's probably not the flu or pneumonia (which, as a lung infection, pretty much always involves cough). It sounds like a cold, which will go away within a week or so. Health Question & Answer

Your boyfriend should stay in and rest for a couple of days as it can be hepatitis A or even an infection other than a cold or flu.
I think he might have a cold and feeling a bit poorly under the weather but nothing to worry about ask him to take paracetamol every 4 hours and keep warm but not too warm if he has a temperature in any case if things worsen ask him to see a doctor. Don't leave it my boyfriend was feeling poorly with cold/flu symtoms but drained completely tired and when he went to the doctors they diagnosed him with Hepatitis A which we didn't understand. The doctor explained it is very easy to get this by food contact from an infected person.
Anyway not everyone has this bad luck..so hopefully he just has a cold....Health Question & Answer
