What are the main symptoms of flu in US this year?

i got a cough which doesnt go away

a cough that doesn't go away (and lasting for 2 weeks or more) is an indication of TB. TB (Tuberculosis). Other symptoms are weight loss, night sweats, blood-tinged sputum. These latter symptoms generally appear or become obvious more as the disease progresses.

There is a very simple test for TB called the Mantoux Skin Test. Since TB is highly contagious, i believe that you can go to any clinic around town to be tested for free.

If you are found to have TB, treatment will also be free due to TB being a community health hazard. TB infection is continuing to be on the rise in the U.S. due to influx of immigrants.

Have you noticed any friends, relatives or others you've been in contact with having this prolonged cough?

I don't wish to scare the he-be-geebies out of you. But, the flu is the least of your worries.

Hope this was helpful.

fever, runny nose, cough, body aches, fatigue
