A member asked:
Should i go to the doctor for flu-like symptoms that started suddenly with a sore throat and progressed within a few hours into flu symptoms?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Flu-like symptoms: Sounds like a good idea. In the mean time, keep well hydrated, warm and rested. Avoid exposure to other people as much as possible until seen by your doctor.
