Can the flu last 24 hours?


i woke up yesterday with a 101 fever, and i felt like i was going to die. i had muscle aches, the chills, fatigue/weakness, runny nose, loss of appetite, and i was sooooo tired! reguardless of how tired i was, i wasnt able to fall asleep up 6a.m this morning. thats about the time my fever started going down. Today i feel a million times better. Just a little sore, coughing a little, and still no appetite.

Yes! That is the real flu. What they are calling the flu now, is actually a cold virus that resembles the cold and lasts for days like a cold.

The flu usually lasts either 12 hours or 24 hours. That's why you hear the lines "12 hour bug" and "24 hours bug." You had the 24 hour flu.

20 years ago no one heard of a flu that lasted anything other than 12 or 24 hours.

I don't think you had the flu, but there is a 24 hour virus that is going around.

Yes...There is a flu called "The 24 Hour Flu"

Sounds like the flu to me, but I'm not a doctor.

The exact same thing is going through my household. My husband tested positive for the flu when he had it. Our Dr. thought it was just a strain of hte flu virus that has a shorter infection period.

That is the real flu what other people think is the flu is actually is a cold virus which lasts for days like a cold

Strange same thing happened to me
