Flu is a common infectious viral illness spread by coughs and sneezes.

Many people in the UK are completely unaware they suffer from high blood pressure. If left untreated, the condition can lead to heart disease, stroke and other serious conditions.

It can be very unpleasant, but you’ll usually begin to feel better within about a week. It’s a good idea to get vaccinated, that way you will have peace of mind knowing that you are protected this winter. You can get the Flu Vaccination by visiting Ramsey Pharmacy.

Flu is not the same as the common cold. Flu, also known as influenza, is caused by a different group of viruses and the symptoms tend to start more suddenly, be more severe and last longer.

Main Symptoms

a high temperature (fever) of 38C (100.4F) or above
tiredness and weakness
a headache
general aches and pains
a dry or chesty cough

Maintain Hygine

regularly cleaning surfaces such as your computer keyboard, telephone and door handles to get rid of germs
using tissues to cover your mouth and nose when you cough or sneeze
putting used tissues in a bin as soon as possible

You can also help stop the spread of flu by avoiding unnecessary contact with other people while you’re infectious. You should stay off work or school until you’re feeling better.

In some people at risk of more serious flu, an annual flu vaccine (see below) or antiviral medication may be recommended to help reduce the risk of becoming infected.
