A member asked:

How long should the flu last? i've had a headache, on and off brain fog/confusion, and extreme fatigue for the last 5 days and i'm not getting better.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Do you get migraines: Sounds more like a prolonged migraine, or status migrainosus, and not the flu. Please call your pediatrician. Feel better!
