Complications of Flu
Complications of flu can include bacterial pneumonia, dehydration, and worsening of chronic medical conditions, such as congestive heart failure, asthma, or diabetes. Children may get sinus problems and ear infections.

How Flu Spreads
Flu viruses spread in respiratory droplets caused by coughing and sneezing. They usually spread from person to person, though sometimes people become infected by touching something with flu viruses on it and then touching their mouth or nose. Most healthy adults may be able to infect others beginning 1 day before symptoms develop and up to 5 days after becoming sick. That means that you can pass on the flu to someone else before you know you are sick, as well as while you are sick.

How to avoid the flu
People are less likely to become affected by flu viruses when:

• they are physically fit and healthy
• have a strong immune system

The elderly and those with weak immune systems may use herbal or homeopathic immune system boosters or products like Buccaline Burna, an oral anti flu vaccine.
