How To Tell If Someone Has The Flu

Pain In The Chest Or Stomach

Pain the chest or stomach is quite a common symptom of the flu, and is important to note it is not seen nearly as often when dealing with the common cold. In some instances, this pain might also progress to more generalized muscle aches, which is what most individuals will associate with the flu. Sharp pains or pressure-induced pains indicate the flu may have worsened. Anyone who experiences chest pain should get it checked out. This even applies if they already know it’s the flu, because worsening chest pain is still a concern. Chest or stomach pain can also be indicative of other illnesses, so it’s better to be on the safe side.
