Flu is contracted by inhaling respiratory droplets produced by coughing or sneezing. You can also become infected by touching an object contaminated by the flu virus (possible from a hand that covered a sneeze) and then touching your mouth, nose or eyes. Flu symptoms include a high fever, dry cough, sore throat, runny or stuffy nose, headache, extreme fatigue, muscles aches and shortness of breath.
