When Is Flu Season?

What Are the Symptoms of Flu?

Influenza is also called the Flu. It is a respiratory condition that is caused by the flu virus. Influenza can result in several severe and mild symptoms, such as fatigue [3], sore throat, nasal congestion [4], headache [5] and fever [6].

In most cases, you may experience some of these symptoms simultaneously. You may also share all of them. The severity of the symptoms depends on your health. If medical attention is not given, some of these symptoms can result in death.

According to research, you can contact the influenza virus via tiny droplets that are transferred when an infected person sneezes, coughs, or speaks. The spread of the virus is also influenced by how often you interact with people. It is difficult to prevent contamination if you interact with many people daily. This is why the virus spreads fast in most countries. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), over 70 percent of the United States citizens have the flu yearly. As a result, many private and public organizations work tirelessly to prevent and control the Flu. Public sensitization is essential in maintaining the spread of the virus.
