Flu Season: This is one of the most common question during the winter. I would say at least three patients ask me this every day of the winter cold and flu season. There really is no good answer. Many who are young get sick this time of year more often because they have not been exposed to all of these viruses before. There are numerous viruses during the winter. You are not abnormal or need to worry.
