I've come down with a bad case of the flu, diagnosed as influenza, and this fever is making me feel really weak. I'm hoping it breaks soon. How long does fever usually last with influenza? Is there a typical duration?

Influenza fever usually takes 3 to 5 days to break. Since it drains your hydration completely, make sure to drink electoral or coconut water. Avoid working out until your body temperature is completely back to normal for at least 48 hours.

I had influenza last month and the fever stayed for 4 long days. Honestly, I just took the medicine my doctor gave, wrapped myself in a blanket, and slept. Keep taking steam twice a day to help with the blocked nose.

My doctor told me that influenza virus causes a sudden spike in fever that generally lasts between 3 and 5 days. He warned that if the fever goes away and then comes back with a worse cough, it could indicate a secondary bacterial infection.

The fever generally stays for about 3 to 4 days. Please take complete rest and eat simple, warm foods. Take care and I hope you recover very soon.

We went to the hospital when my husband's fever didn't go down on day 4. The doctor there said influenza fever can last up to 5 days, but they did a rapid test to confirm it. Please consult your physician clearly instead of guessing.
