how long does the fever last with flu
The flu can take many forms. Classically, the flu begins abruptly, with a fever in the 102 to 106 degree range, a flushed face, body aches, and marked lack of energy. Some people have other systemic symptoms such as dizziness or vomiting. The fever usually lasts for a day or two, but can last five days. Somewhere between day 2 and day 4 of the illness, the âwhole bodyâ symptoms begin to subside, and respiratory symptoms begin to increase.
