A few days: Myalgias may take as long as a few days to resolve depending on the strain of influenza and your immune response. Drink fluids, keep moving and get enough sleep.

Variable: Generally 4-10 days. Like almost anything in medicine, depends on a lot of variables including physical health of the individual and virulence of the bug!
