Flu is the main bug around at the moment and is causing a lot of sickness!
It has spread through the community earlier this year.
It will rise and peak is expected to be unfortunately late December/ early January.
Please get your flu vaccine for you or your child asap.
Please also remember, antibiotics do not work for the flu virus unfortunately.
If you feel you have been hit by a bus, it’s likely you have the flu.
Regular paracetamol and neurofen and you should improve between day 5-8 of illness no matter what you do.
If you get worse unexpectedly or are worse than you expect from the outset, you may need hospital.
You should also not feel breathless- if so see a Doctor immediately.
