This year’s flu season arrived early
and is hitting people hard. The flu
symptoms for this year include chills and high fever (or at the least feeling
feverish), a sore throat and cough, head congestion with runny nose and stuffy
nose, headaches and body aches, and fatigue.
Some people may also have nausea, vomiting and/or diarrhea. http://natmonitor.com/2013/01/07/flu-symptoms-2013-data-suggests-bad-flu-season/
It’s not too late to get a flu
shot, if you can find it. Recent news
stories suggest the flu vaccine supply is running low and may not be readily
available.
If you do develop the flu (see symptoms
above), treatment by antivirals can be prescribed by your doctor. For best results, the antivirals should be
started within two days of symptoms beginning.
