Feeling blue when you have a Flu?

It’s a viral infection which mainly affects the main organ of the body for breathing (nose, throat bronchi). Infection means there is something foreign inside the body and the body eliminates it by increasing the body temperature, some may experience aching muscles and severe headache sometimes associated with vomiting.  The signs and symptoms will last for about a week and will eventually subside since most viruses self destructs.  In other cases, if the immune system is compromise or defective, a person may progress to a more severe illness like pneumonia that may lead to death.

Viruses are easily transmitted via vector (non living things like handkerchief and door knobs) or via droplet meaning a single sneeze may infect two or more persons in a single blow. You can stop the infection through proper hand washing while singing (2) happy birthday songs and covering your mouth every time you’ll be sneezing. It pays a lot if you’re taking ascorbic acid as a precaution because you can never tell when viruses are about the strike.
