Signs of flu?


what are the signs that i have the flu? my temp hasnt gone past 100.9 but i have aches, i am very tired, irritable, and cold touching my skin hurts. i also have a very bad cough that is so deep it hurts my back and my chest (across my sternum). i dont want to take anything for flu if it isnt the flu. there is no mucus when i cough.

also, my 20 month old daughter got her flu vaccine does that mean she cant catch it?

The flu generally presents itself as a very intense cold, with muscle aches/weakness, fever, and other symptoms. It very well could be the flu, and if you get better over time, there's nothing to worry about. If it doesn't better or gets worse within a week from when the symptoms began, it might be time to go see your doctor.

As for your daughter, she maybe protected from getting the flu from you only if the flu you have (if you actually have the flu) is one of the strains given in the shot.
