While the country has officially gone past the flu season\u2014which usually takes place in the chilliest months of the year\u2014one can never be too complacent. With summer fast approaching, we still have to watch out for symptoms associated with having the flu: sniffles, sneezes, headaches, and fevers, plus a few body aches here and there. And because the flu shares many symptoms with COVID-19, catching the former also means that the average Pinoy will have a little less peace of mind.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In short, flu symptoms aren\u2019t just more\ncommon these days\u2014they\u2019re also a lot heavier to deal with. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s why it\u2019s generally a good idea to\nget tested for COVID-19 in case one experiences flu symptoms. In the event that\nit\u2019s confirmed to be COVID-19, one can start practicing the necessary isolation\nand treatment protocols. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the other hand, if that cough turns\nout to be a symptom of the flu, it isn\u2019t enough to stop at the negative\nCOVID-19 results. Flu symptoms still need to be treated ASAP, as they may lead\nto more serious health complications. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

When a cold or flu creates a blockage in\nthe sinuses, for example, this can trap bacteria and viruses inside through the\nmucus. A bad enough infection can lead to sinusitis, which in turn causes\nsevere headaches, fever, facial pain. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The fluid buildup from the flu can also\ncause bacteria or viruses to infect the space behind the eardrums, leading to a\npainful ear infection. In people with asthma, flu symptoms can trigger\nasthmatic attacks, or cause difficulty breathing among people without asthma. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Flu symptoms could also make it more\ndifficult to sleep. Studies have found that a lack of sleep can have a negative\neffect on the immune system, making someone more vulnerable to different\nillnesses. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Given how important it is to immediately\ntreat flu symptoms, medication for these symptoms is a must- have during the\ncountry\u2019s flu season.
