QuestionI have been having body aches, I assume it is from the flu/or virus since my whole family has been sick at some point. My son had a fever and sore throat. The fever was only one night but the sore throat lasted a few days.
My question is, I have been hurting over a week! No fever, and my only other symptoms are a stuffy nose from time to time and a mild ear ache from time to time as well as mild headache. The body aches are not as bad as when it first started but I still have that tense feeling.
Is it normal to ache that long? I am still functioning but not very well some days, lol. Thanks.
AnswerHello and thanks for writing,
It does sound normal. Some flus can linger and we can ache for weeks. When we get a cold or flu our body fights them with our immnue system so the symptoms can come and go and linger for quite a while.
I hope this helps and i hope you feel better soon,
Margot
