Influenza

The best way to prevent or minimize the symptoms associated with seasonal flu it to get an influenza vaccine every year.

​

Symptoms of a possible influenza infection include:

  • Fever or feeling feverish/chills (not everyone will have a fever)

  • Cough

  • Sore throat

  • Runny or stuffy nose

  • Muscle or body aches

  • Headaches

  • Fatigue (tiredness)

  • Some people may have vomiting and diarrhea, though this is more common in children than adults.

 

Testing for Influenza:​

A rapid influenza test involves a nasopharyngeal swab to collect a sample. The test quickly shows if influenza A or influenza B is causing the illness. If the test is positive, antivirals can be prescribed by the pharmacist.
