My son out in Berkley, Ca has the flu. He had a fever for 3 or 4 days and other symptoms. congestion, aches and pains, etc. He felt better yesterday and thought he was on the mend. today he does not feel well again and has a headache. Is what he has consistant with flu that is going around in the Bay area and how long does it last?
Hello dear, thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your sons situation and problem. In my opinion he is having viral upper respiratory tract infection (URI). And headache is also due to this only. It usually lasts for 1-2 weeks. So you can expect improvement after 1 week. Ask him to follow these steps for better symptomatic relief. 1. Avoid oily and spicy food. 2.  Chat Doctor.  Keep himself HY
