Influenza
Say: in-floo-en-zuh
Feeling suddenly feverish, achy, and crummy all over? Sounds like influenza
is in your body — the full name for the flu! Influenza is a type of germ
called a virus that can make you sick. You'll feel better if you rest, drink plenty
of liquids, and ask your parent to give you acetaminophen or ibuprofen to make you
feel more comfortable.
