  What is Flu?

Flu is spread by a virus called Influenza, of which, there are several subtypes. The virus is spread through the air by way of droplets from infected individuals. These airborne droplets come from Flu-infected individuals who have coughed or sneezed in your general area.
Flu is very contagious which explains why the disease becomes so widespread each year.

Symptoms of Flu are similar to other viral illnesses ( like the common cold), but tend to be much more severe. Symptoms typically start very suddenly and you may develop fever, headache, muscle aches, fatigue, cough and sore throat

These symptoms may vary from person to person and typically last two to five days. Even after the recovery from the acute illness, you can feel "wiped out" for days to weeks following the flu.

How is treated?

Fluid intake is perhaps the most important factor for healthy people fighting the flu.  Flu sufferers lose more fluids from fever than they think; you must replenish your lost fluids in order to provide your body with the strength to get rid of the flu.
