Here are some of the most pronounced flu symptoms:
* Fever (usually high)
* Headaches
* Muscle aches
* Chills
* Extreme tiredness
* Dry cough
* Runny nose(usually start on day 2 or 3 after experiencing the above symptoms)
* Stomach symptoms, such as nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea, (usually start the same day or on day 2 after experiencing the above symptoms)
Now it is time to start thinking like a detective and gather some clues:
* Were you around people who were either coughing or sneezing?
* Were you at a doctor's office or hospital waiting room (hence, no one goes to the doctor because they feel good; they go there because they are sick)?
* Were you inside a place with limited ventilation?
* Did you use someone else's phone (cell phone keypads are full of germs, people use them while using the restroom and we all are guilty of doing that. Next time, think twice before using someone's cell phone)?
* Were you using someone else's computer, pen, coffee cup, utensils (always carry a pen, so you don't have to use one shared by many)?
* Are you washing your hands at least six times a day (this is beside hand washing after using the bathroom)?
Now you should have an idea of the types of questions to ask yourself. As a rule of thumb the first 2-3 days are the worse when it comes to the flu symptoms. After day 3 or 4 you should only have a stuffy nose, sore throat, or phlegm.
The flu shouldn't be too short and it shouldn't be too long. If the symptoms continue for several days or over the course of an allergen "season," it's a likely indicator that you're reacting to a particular pollen or airborne particle. If you are on the third day and the symptoms are still persistent, then check the allergies symptom section below:
