What is influenza?

Influenza is a type of infectious disease caused by a virus. It usually occurs during the winter, and symptoms include high fever, fatigue, headache, muscle pain, sore throat, and runny nose.

Influenza viruses are spread through airborne droplets and contact. After infection, the incubation period until symptoms appear is about 1 to 4 days, and infectivity persists for several days after the onset of symptoms.

Influenza can cause severe illness even in healthy people, and elderly people, people with weakened immune systems, people with underlying health conditions, pregnant women, and infants need to be especially careful. Vaccination and early diagnosis and treatment are important.

Symptoms of influenza may be similar to those of the common cold, but they are generally characterized by a prolonged high fever and severe general fatigue. If you develop symptoms of influenza, we recommend that you seek medical attention as soon as possible.

What are the main symptoms of influenza?

The main symptoms of influenza are:

First of all, it's a high fever. People infected with influenza may develop a high fever of 39 degrees or higher. This high fever often appears suddenly, and when the fever rises, the body becomes sluggish.

I also have pain all over my body. The pain can spread throughout the body, including joints, muscles, and headaches. Pain is especially common in the back, knees, and elbows.
