With the unseasonably warm weather in Northern Michigan, it's hard to believe it's still cold and flu season.

TRAVERSE CITY -- With the unseasonably warm weather in Northern Michigan, it's hard to believe it's still cold and flu season. So are your symptoms a cold, the Flu, or Spring allergies?

Dr. Jennifer Schell from the Traverse Area Pediatrics and Adolescent Clinic makes a house call to help you decipher these symptoms.

"Sometimes it's difficult to tell, especially with young children," said Dr. Schell. "But there are a few little tidbits that may be able to help you distinguish one from the other."

To learn about the different symptoms, and when to head to the doctor, click on the video above.
