So basically everyone in my school has picked up the respiratory flu. The symptoms that i have seen are a horrible cough, sore throat, and fever. Recently i have picked up something that might be the flu or it could just be a cold. I have a sore throat headache and some mucus, maybe a slight fever. However i have also been feeling extremely nauseous and i have read many sites that say that influenza can cause v* and d*. Is this true? Have any of you experienced that? Also how can that be if the virus affects the respiratory system? Also i was thinking about taking Pepto Bismol for my nausea but on the package it says not to take it if you have flu like symptoms because youre at risk for Reye's syndrome. Do you think i could still take it? Any advice would be super helpful. Thanks.
