The flu virus usually spreads from person to person through <a href=\"https:\/\/www.satory.gr\/en\/acupuncture-upper-and-lower-respiratory-infections\/8148\/\">coughing<\/a> or sneezing. You can also get the flu by touching a surface that has the flu virus on it, and then touching your own nose or eyes.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica; font-size: 14pt;\">Most people who get the flu will feel sick with muscle aches, fever, and other uncomfortable symptoms, but will recover within a week or so. For others, the flu can cause very serious illness, and even death.<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_10958\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-10958\" class=\"wp-image-10958 size-medium\" title=\"Rapid Influenza Test.ent\" src=\"https:\/\/ent.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/%CE%93%CF%81%CE%AF%CF%80%CE%B7-%CF%84%CE%B5%CF%83%CF%84.ent_-300x202.jpg\" alt=\"Rapid Influenza Test.ent\" width=\"300\" height=\"202\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-10958\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Rapid Influenza Test<\/p><\/div>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica; font-size: 14pt;\">A flu test can help diagnose the flu, so you can get treated earlier.
