The Common Flu (Part 3)
![]()
Children are extremely vulnerable and should be checked by a pediatrician to be sure of no serious illness. With care and rest, the common flu would be over in a week or so but do expect to feel a bit worn out for more than that as your body recovered from the ravages of the disease. Your resistance to the strain of virus that caused your symptoms would increase making you a bit more prepared the next time round. The bad news is, as we have said, there are several viruses that can give the same symptoms but are totally non-related. Hemorrhagic fever and other more exotic diseases also produces the same symptoms so caution is advised and further medical checks should be done to rule out these diseases that have experienced a rise in recent years.
