Influenza

Influenza, commonly known as "the flu", is an irresistible disease caused by an influenza virus. Symptoms can be mild to severe. The most regular side effects include: a high fever, runny nose, sore throat, muscle torments, headache, coughing, and feeling tired. These indications normally start two days after exposure to the virus and most last less than a week. The cough, however, may last for more than two weeks.In children, there may be nausea and vomiting, but these are not common in adults. Sickness and vomiting occur more instantly in the unrelated infection gastroenteritis, which is sometimes inaccurately referred to as "stomach influenza" or "24-hour flu". Complications of influenza may incorporate viral pneumonia, secondary bacterial pneumonia, sinus infections, and compounding of previous health problems such as asthma or heart failure.
