Infection?: A small % of people ended up with pneumonia or sinusitis. Since your symptoms have lasted much longer than expected, you need to see your doctor to get diagnosed and treated.

Treat symptoms : Sorry you feel bad. Flu B is still quite active and feels terrible. Stay hydrated. Use ibuprofen for fever and pain. Some people with flu also get a bacterial infection, so make sure your breathing doesn’t worsen over time.
