Danger signs
If in addition to the standard symptoms of flu:
1. you have difficulty in breathing;
2. you have a pain in your chest;
3. you have blood in your snot or phlem;
4. or you feel unusually confused or sleepy.
Note
The main problems arising from the disease come from complications that may set in, in particular respiritary problems. This is why, if you get the virus, you should avoid smoking and polluted environments. But if you have the virus for about 24 hours without complications then the virus has probably run its course and you can return to work or your studies and normal activities.
