Seasonal influenza is a contagious viral respiratory infection that spreads rapidly during seasonal shifts. Symptoms include sudden high fever, severe muscle aches, dry cough, and tiredness.
Preventive Measures:
- Annual Flu Vaccine: Recommended for children, older adults, and healthcare workers.
- Hydration: Warm fluids keep the throat and airways comfortable.
- Prompt Medical Evaluation: Helps tell viral flu apart from secondary bacterial chest infections.
