A member asked:
Can a flu go away after just one day?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Influenza will not resolve after only one day. Illness lasts 7-10 days. Lay persons incorrectly use the word "flu" to describe any and all viral infections. Some gastroenteritis viral infections can resolve after 1-2 days but this is not "the flu".
