The flu causes fever, chills, headache, body aches, shortness of breath, cough, sore throat, runny or stuffy nose, and fatigue. It can also lead to other complications, such as pneumonia.
Vaccinations are the best defense against severe illness, but frequent hand washing, covering your mouth and nose when you sneeze or cough, and avoiding contact with people who are sick are all ways to protect yourself against the flu.
If you have flu-like symptoms or are experiencing things like shortness of breath or high fever, contact Hillandale Primary Care. Medications work best in the first 48 hours of symptoms.
