A Parent's Guide to the Flu
The flu (influenza) is an infection of the nose, throat, and lungs that is caused by
influenza virus. The flu can spread from person to person. Most people with flu are
sick for about a week, but then feel better. However, some people (especially young children, pregnant women, older people, and people with chronic health problems)
can get very sick and some can die.
