6. Chills/Sweats
Chills and/or sweats may develop in a person with influenza B, adding to their misery. One minute the person may feel so cold that they need to pile on the blankets, and the next, they may be drenched in sweat and struggling to remove all the covers.
This is an annoying symptom that helps make weathering the illness more unpleasant. Use layers of clothing and bedding that can be added and removed as necessary to keep the patient comfortable.
