10 Signs of the Flu

Flu Sign #5: Headache
If you have never had a headache, then you are one of a very lucky few. For most people, headaches are just a part of life that come and go, often without explanation. Most of the time they are little more than uncomfortable. For some people, though, headaches can be agonizing.
A headache is a common symptom of the flu, as well as many other types of illness. You should be able to find some painkillers that can at least help reduce the pain if needed, but be mindful that using painkillers can be risky. You should arrange to see a doctor if the headache persists or if it is too painful to bear.
