What is Flu?
Influenza, or flu, is a respiratory illness that results from a viral infection. Flu is highly contagious and spreads through respiratory droplets. A person can pass it on while talking or through physical contacts, such as shaking hands.
Signs and Symptoms
Flu symptoms come on very quickly and can include:
- a sudden high temperature
- an aching body
- feeling tired or exhausted
- a dry cough
- a sore throat
- a headache
- difficulty sleeping
- loss of appetite
- diarrhoea or tummy pain
- feeling sick and being sick
The symptoms are similar for children, but they can also get pain in their ears and appear less active.
Lifestyle Tips For Avoiding Flu
Tips for avoiding infection include:
- practising good hygiene, including frequent hand washing
- keeping the immune system strong by following a healthful diet
- quitting or avoiding smoking, as smokers are more likely to develop complications
- staying away from people who have the flu
People should also stay away from others when they have the flu to avoid spreading it themselves.
Prevention/Vaccine
Flu vaccines are safe and effective. They can help protect people at risk of flu and its complications.
The best time to have a flu vaccine is in the autumn before the flu starts spreading. But you can get vaccinated later.
