Flu
Flu is short for "influenza" and is a contagious virus that causes inflammation of the respiratory tract. Unlike a cold that comes on gradually, the flu begins suddenly with a headache, chills and a cough, immediately followed by fever, loss of appetite, muscle aches, and tiredness. Much of the illness can be prevented by getting an annual flu shot vaccination.
