The most common flu symptoms
Landon says that sometimes people think they have the flu, but they're sick with something else entirely — a fungal infection, bacterial pneumonia, or even a heart attack.
The only way to know for sure whether it's the flu is a nasal or throat swab test at the doctor's office. Testing is also helpful for older people with multiple medical problems or people who can't articulate what's wrong, such as babies or people with dementia. Because deciphering what's happening can be challenging. "And that's what your doctor is for," Landon adds.The flu can infect anybody but there are certain populations at higher risk of developing complications from the infection.
