What is an Influenza Virus?
Influenza is a disease caused by a member of the Orthomyxoviridae. Many features are common with those of the Paramyxovirus infections of the respiratory tract. Influenza, commonly called - the 'flu'- is a serious disease caused by influenza A and B viruses, which usually occurs seasonally in the autumn and winter months. According to the WHO 3-5 million cases of seasonal influenza occur every year.
The influenza virus is classified into three categories: A, B, and C. Type A is the most serious and usually appears every two or three years. Prone to mutation, it regularly produces nonresistant strains; has caused many epidemics; and is also responsible for pandemics, in which entire continents are affected.
Type B influenza virus is the strain responsible for smaller infection outbreaks. Once infected with this virus, the immune system successfully resists this type of virus for many years. This type commonly infects uninfected children aged between 5-14 years.
Type C influenza virus is a very mild strain of the infection, similar to symptoms of a common cold. This can be treated with bed rest and plenty of fluid intake.

Muscle aches and pains
It is possible to treat the flu using medication as well as make a rapid recovery using various means like:
Keeping your fluid intake to the optimum - Flu sufferers lose a lot of fluids from having high fevers. Drink plenty of water. Orange juice is good for its vitamin C content, too, and sports drinks like Gatorade help replenish electrolytes.
Proper sleep - Adequate rest also helps in recovery.
Taking a healthy diet - Even though you don't feel like eating, nutrition is an important part of recovery.
Minimal exertion - It is better to stay in bed and recuperate through relaxation..
Keeping the fever in check - Young children often suffer higher fever during the flu.
Toddlers should be attended to by a pediatrician in the event of a high fever that lasts for a day and for adults a doctor should be consulted when the fever exceeds 103 degrees or lasts longer than two days and is accompanied by significant fatigue or any kind of pain. The elderly and those with diabetes, a weakened immune system, cardiovascular disease, pregnancy beyond the first trimester, lung disease or asthma should call their doctor when flu symptoms arrive.
When administered according to its approved dosage (75 mg twice daily for 5 days), Tamiflu delivers a 38 per cent reduction in the severity of symptoms, a 67 per cent reduction in secondary complications such as bronchitis, pneumonia and sinusitis in otherwise healthy individuals and a 37 per cent reduction in the duration of influenza illness. This data were derived from seasonal outbreaks of influenza.
