10 Symptoms of Flu B
4. Sore Throat
Generally, a milder symptom of flu, a sore throat may also be noticed by infected people. Cold liquids can help reduce pain associated with a sore throat. Over-the-counter pain relievers may also be helpful.
Be aware of other potential causes of sore throats, such as strep throat infections or other conditions, that may require you to visit your doctor. While the flu should resolve itself on its own, other types of illness, especially those caused by bacteria rather than viruses, may require prescribed medications to treat.
