A member asked:
I have influenza and still running fever it has been five days and i am suppose to go back to work tuesday will it be okay?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Influenza can cause fever, chills and aches for a solid week. Generally best to not return to work until fever free for a day. If fevers going up or otherwise feeling worse, could be getting bronchitis, pneumonia or other infection on top of the flu.
