If you experience a sudden fever, cough or shortness of breath or have a headache, sore throat, tiredness, aching muscles, chills, sneezing, runny nose or loss of appetite you may have flu.
For most people this is a mild illness and you should start to feel better after a few days without needing to go to your GP, walk-in centre, Urgent Care Centre or A&E.
Help yourself and others by not spreading the virus.
If you have not had your seasonal flu vaccine and are pregnant, very young, over 65, or have a long-term condition such as asthma or diabetes, then please contact your GP practice.
The best thing you can do is stay at home, rest, drink plenty of fluids and take over-the-counter flu remedies to help relieve the symptoms.
