SYMPTOMS OF BAD FLU
Fever or feeling feverish/chills
Cough Sore throat
Runny or stuffy nose
Muscle or body aches
Headaches
Fatigue (tiredness)
Vomiting and diarrhoea (more common in children than adults)
There are cafés that lull us into believing that all our woes will dissolve into thin air only if we relish that extra cup of cappuccino. For Sudeshna Saxena, a 27-year-old freelance illustrator and graphic designer based in Bengaluru, an unassuming visit to her favourite café in the city turned out to be a nightmare.
Make no mistake: The iced latte was all right and the croissants fresh enough. Only her hair was wet and she was sitting right under the AC vent of the café. A day later, the cold gripped her. Or, so she thought. “It was the week when it rained heavily in the city, no thanks to the cyclonic disturbance in Tamil Nadu,” she recounts. “I didn’t think it was the flu until I started waking up every day over the next 10 days with sneezing fits and a runny nose that just wouldn’t stop.”
