Muscle or body aches
When the influenza virus attacks the body, then the body’s immune system starts fighting against the virus, and as a result, the muscles from the entire body start to swell. The swelling and inflammation in the muscles result in the sensation of pain. The viruses combat the cells in the body, thus resulting in pain and inflammation. The aches in the body tissues and muscles become intense as the virus reaches its incubation period. The body aches start subsiding with the left of the virus from the body. By taking anti-inflammatory drugs, resting, and applying heat, you can recover more easily from muscle and body aches.
