The duration of fever with the flu can vary, but typically lasts for 3-5 days, sometimes a week. It is important to note that fever is a common symptom of the flu and is the body's way of fighting off the infection. You have fever for 48 hours, continue monitoring symptoms and taking medication as needed to manage it. If the fever persists beyond a week, it is advised to seek medical attention.
