Influenza
The influenza virus (the flu) affects most Canadians between November and April. Here’s how to recognize, prevent, and recover from the flu this season.
Flu symptoms typically include the sudden appearance of a high fever (39°C and above), cough, muscle aches, and a headache.
The flu causes more severe symptoms than the common cold, and can lead to serious health problems like pneumonia. Fever and aches are typically characteristic of the flu and not the cold.
