What is the flu?
Influenza (commonly known as the “flu”) is a contagious respiratory illness caused by influenza viruses that affect the nose, throat, and sometimes the lungs.
Common Flu Symptoms
Flu symptoms typically come on quickly and may include:
- Fever or chills
- Cough and sore throat
- Runny or stuffy nose
- Body aches and muscle pain
- Headaches
- Fatigue or extreme tiredness
- In some cases, nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea
How long does the flu last?
Most people recover from the flu within about 5 to 7 days, though fatigue and cough can sometimes linger longer. Early treatment and rest can help reduce symptom severity and speed up recovery.
Flu Prevention
The best way to reduce your risk of getting the flu is by getting an annual flu shot. The vaccine helps your body build immunity against the most common circulating strains each season. Even if you still get sick, being vaccinated can significantly reduce the severity and duration of symptoms.
Flu vaccines are recommended yearly because flu viruses constantly change and immunity decreases over time.
