Let's learn about the flu prevention methods.

Influenza is an infectious disease that frequently occurs during the winter season and exhibits various symptoms. In this article, we will examine the ten main symptoms of the flu.

1. Sudden high fever

A typical symptom of the flu is a fever usually above 38°C, and the high fever can last for 3 to 4 days. During this time, dehydration may occur, so it is important to drink plenty of fluids.

2. Muscle pain and joint pain

Severe pain can occur in muscles and joints, along with feelings of fatigue. Adequate rest and hydration are important.

3. Severe headache

It mainly feels like pressure on the forehead and temples, and resting in a quiet environment helps.

Severe fatigue

Extreme fatigue can occur from the early stages of the flu and may persist during the recovery process. Proper nutrition and rest are necessary.
