Day5 of flu(-like illness?), fever (101f-103f), body aches are worse today and still having chills. cough mostly dry. how long will it take?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Fever rare after 5-6: Most individuals with influenza have resolution of fever and chills by 5-6 days, but may have lingering fatigue and cough. If you still have significant fever, you may be experiencing a secondary infection or other illness and it would be time to get evaluation.
