| The flu is an illness caused by a virus that comes on suddenly, and causes symptoms such as fever, body aches, headache, fatigue, loss of appetite, a dry cough, and a sore throat. The flu symptoms usually last for 3 to 4 days, after which you may have a dry cough, runny nose, and a sore or scratchy throat for another week or so. The incubation period-the time from exposure to the flu virus until you develop symptoms-is 1 to 4 days. Symptoms are usually more severe than a cold causing one to miss work or school. Complications can occur often in young children, adults older than 65 and in individuals with serious medical problems. To obtain the flu vaccine call the office at 4103139662 |
