Answers: I'm 2 or 3 days into the flu, I'm wondering how much longer It will last.

last week was my third week after having the flu... and by Tuesday was finally feeling like i was going to live. They say as long as you are running fever, you are contagious and need to stay in bed. 5-7 days is about average for the full blown flu, but your body will tell you longer because you will need to regain your strength.

Any time you catch the flu, your chances of having a secondary infection is very high. I developed bronchitis (which can turn into pneumonia), my daughter developed an ear infection. ...so be aware of that.

drink lots of water so you dont dehydrate. sorry you're feeling yucky... its no fun!

good luck to you.

usually lasts a good week or so. feel better! :)

usually about 4-7 days, take care of yourself and rest.
