Influenza or what is commonly called 'Flu' is a highly contagious disease caused by infection from influenza type A or B (or rarely C) virus. These viruses usually infect the upper airways and the respiratory system.
The flu can occur all year round but in temperate areas the influenza season typically occurs during the winter months.
Flu is not the same as a common cold, and can be a serious illness. For some people, such as the very young or elderly and those with underlying medical conditions, the flu can cause serious complications which require hospitalization. It can sometimes lead to death.
Flu is usually spread through infected people coughing and sneezing, which temporarily contaminates the surrounding air and surfaces with infected droplets. You can reduce the risk of infection by getting vaccinated and practicing good hand and respiratory hygiene.
The symptoms of flu can include:
-fever
-dry cough
-muscle and joint pain
-tiredness
-headache
-sore throat.
-nasal congestion
Children are more likely to have gastrointestinal symptoms (nausea, vomiting and diarrhoea).
