The flu (influenza) is a contagious respiratory illness caused by a virus. It can cause severe symptoms and even death in some people. The best way to prevent the flu is to get a flu vaccine every year.
The flu virus is spread by respiratory droplets from coughing and sneezing. It can also be spread by touching surfaces that have the virus on them and then touching your nose or mouth.
The best way to prevent the flu is to get a flu vaccine every year. However, even with a vaccine, it’s still possible to get the flu. That’s why it’s important to know the symptoms and how to protect yourself and others if you do get sick.
The signs and symptoms of influenza may include the following:
Influenza viruses travel through the air in droplets when someone with the infection coughs, sneezes or talks. You can inhale the droplets directly. Or you can pick up the germs from an object — such as a telephone or computer keyboard — and then transfer them to your eyes, nose or mouth.
People with the virus are likely contagious from about a day before symptoms appear until about four days after they start. Children and people with weakened immune systems may be contagious for a slightly longer time.
Available treatments we offer:
Antibiotics may be prescribed for superimposed bacterial infection.
