Had Flu Attack, Feeling Weak, Cough, Itchy Feeling On Arms. Normal Flu Symptoms?
Hi, i had an attack of flu where temperature didn't go too high but now for past 2 days i don't have any fever and am feeling weak.
Also in last 2 days (when fever was gone) i started having some itchy feeling on my arms.
Are these symptoms of normal flu or one if the dreaded variants?
Now that fever is gone and i have little bit of cough, how long should i avoid contact with my family and public at large?

Hi dear patient
Dont worry
Ill help you out
Usually viral fever last for around 3 days and it is accompanied by body ache and weakness.
Your symptoms suggest that you have flu.
Now about the itching......did you get any rash...if no ...then nothing to worry.
If there is rash and fever i suggest u consult a dermatologist who will be able to guide you.
But i suggest you wait for few days to see if you get fever again.
And you must be getting fever due to that cough you mentioned....you must be having chest infection.
Now i can advice you to just wait and watc
Hope i have been able to guide you
Take care
