While symptoms may vary, people who have flu often experience some or all of the following:
- Fever (though not everyone who has the flu gets a fever)
- Cough
- Sore throat
- Runny or stuffy nose
- Muscle or body aches
- Headaches.
- Fatigue
- Vomiting and diarrhea
Because prevention is always the best medicine, the best way to avoid these symptoms is to get your 5-minute flu shot.
