Influenza Health Center

Influenza symptoms can start quickly and a person will usually start to feel sick about 1 - 7 days after being exposed to the virus.

 

Because the flu spreads easily, it can affect a large group of people in a short amount of time.

 

The first symptom of influenza is a fever between 102 and 106 °F.

 

Other common symptoms of influenza can include:

  • Body aches
  • Chills
  • A Flushed Face
  • Lack of energy
  • Nausea and vomiting
  • Dizziness

Sometimes other symptoms can occur such as:

  • Sore throat
  • Sneezing
  • Runny nose
  • Dry cough

Most symptoms should go away in 4 - 7 days, however sometimes a cough and fatigue can last for a few weeks.
