I was not as fortunate as some and did get Type A Flu after a trip at Christmas. It started with a cough and muscle aches and feeling just a little lousy. Had a low grade fever for the first couple of days, (e.g. 99.0 to 99.5) then on afternoon of third day it spiked to 101.1. Went to Dr and he diagnosed it as Type A after a swab was tested. Put me on Tamiflu and a pretty strong cough med. Feeling better, no temp but still a little cough is lingering on. Understand it should last about 5 days from when I saw the Dr. Thought this may help some who wonder if they have it. Good to go to Dr. or Urgent Care and get it under control. !!!
