Flu symptoms include fever, chills, body aches, headache, and fatigue, accompanied by a dry cough and sore throat. Some individuals may experience nasal congestion or a runny nose. Severe cases can lead to complications like pneumonia, particularly in high-risk groups such as the elderly or those with weakened immune systems. Early antiviral treatment is essential for faster recovery and to prevent further complications.
Treatment focuses on rest, hydration, and managing symptoms. Antiviral medications, such as oseltamivir, may be prescribed if diagnosed early.
