Symptoms of the flu include:
fever (usually high)
headache
muscle aches
extreme tiredness
dry cough
sore throat
head congestion with a runny or stuffy nose
stomach symptoms, such as nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea, are not typical symptoms of influenza, but can occur. These symptoms are more common in children than adults.
How long do these symptoms last?
After 5 to 7 days, the worst symptoms related to the influenza virus have usually disappeared, but a cough and weakness may persist for two or more weeks. Complications from the flu, however, can worsen or prolong symptoms and require medical attention:
