Influenza, better know as “the flu,” is a highly contagious viral infection of the upper respiratory tract.  More than 200 different individual strains of virus can cause colds and flu, and strains of these viruses are constantly changing, so vaccinations against influenza have been only partly successful in preventing outbreaks of the disease. 

The symptoms of influenza begin much like those of the common cold – body aches, cough, fatigue, headache, and hot and cold sweats.  In many cases, a fever develops, and you may feel unbearably hot one moment and chilled and shaking the next.  Most influenza sufferers have a dry throat and cough.  Nausea and vomiting may occur as well.
