Respiratory Influenza Symptoms

    Onset



    • Sufferers experience a sudden four to five degree rise in body temperature (sometimes spiking as high as 106 degrees Fahrenheit in children) that is often accompanied by violent chills.

    Body Pain



    • Severe muscle aches and pains are often centered on the neck and shoulders.

    Headache



    • Severe, disorienting headaches along the side of the head and temples are sometimes accompanied by nausea or sensitivity to light.

    Nose

    • Although sufferers may not have a runny nose (that symptom comes with other viruses that may follow), they do often suffer repeated bouts of sneezing.

    Throat

    • The raw sore throat that often accompanies the flu should be closely monitored because it may also be due to other viruses, be the sign of a sinus condition overshadowed by the misery of the flu or even merit a test for a "strep" infection.

    Cough

    • Influenza brings a violent, non-productive cough that can last for a week or more after the fever and aches subside.

    Plumb Worn Out



    • High fever, muscle strain and dehydration often lead to fatigue and exhaustion---and susceptibility to other viruses---that lasts for weeks.
