i don't think you got influenza.. i hope you didn't get
influenza
influenza is major stuff.. if you are hammered with a virus, you
will be running a high fever, you will be suffering from a gummed
up throat, bodyaches, your eyes will be watery, you will be almost
unable to breathe due to a lot of mucus because your body is
fighting the virus, you will be so weak all you can do is
sleep..
people anyhow use that word until a slight runny nose due to eating
chilli is "flu"
well, hope you are better..
