Influenza, or flu, is a common viral infection that occurs during annual outbreaks.

Symptoms of flu include:

  • A sudden fever (above 37.8C)
  • A runny or stuffy nose
  • Headache
  • Cough
  • Extreme exhaustion

Flu can be an unpleasant experience for those who catch it but there are treatments that can alleviate the symptoms and prevent it. Painkillers can help relieve pain and reduce body temperature, while medications like Tamiflu prevent the flu virus from spreading in the body.
