Being Healthy During Flu Season

Influenza is really a virus-like infection that is quickly transmitted from person to person. The infection mainly affects the nose, throat, and bronchi, but occasionally affects the lungs. Symptoms of the flu contain fever, cough, sore throat, chills, body aches, headache, and fatigue. In serious instances, complications such as pneumonia can develop.
