When should I consult a health care professional if I have the flu?

In general, a health care professional should be consulted when a person with influenza symptoms, including fever, also presents:

  • a risk of complications due to age (under 2 years or over 65 years) or a chronic illness;
  • a risk of complications due to pregnancy;
  • pain when breathing or difficulty breathing;
  • vomiting for more than four hours;
  • confusion or convulsions.
