Best homeopathic medicine for influenza
Influenza (or simply, the flu) is often a catch-all for any winter virus or illness that makes people feel lousy, keeps them from work and play, and has miserable symptoms including cough, sore throat, fever, body aches, fatigue, and even vomiting (people mistakenly refer to this as the “stomach flu” which is usually a gastrointestinal illness completely separate from influenza).
Influenza isn’t just one virus. There are many strains and flu viruses that people can pick up. And “flu season” is just the winter months when people are indoors more and in close proximity where transmission is easier.
Symptoms of this ailment go far beyond the common cold:
Fever
Headache
Bodily aches and pains
Sore throat
Chest congestion
Extreme fatigue
