Is Body Tiredness And Headache A Normal Flu Symptom?

I have had a flu for about two weeks; now that all symptoms have disappeared, it remains a night headache (which awakens me in the middle of the night) as well as a sensation of body tiredness, even in bed. I suppose that all this is a consequence of the same flue. ¿shall I be right?

Hello XXXX,

Its true that some viral infections can leave with tiredness and headache in the next weeks before full recovery, but you should also feel that are not getting worse, but better gradually.

So, if that is the case, than in the next week, you don't get better, if the headache doesn't get relived by normal analgesics, then I would suggest to see a doctor, so he makes a neurological exam and labs to confirm other possible diagnoses.

Take care
Dr. Klarida
