Flu symptoms won’t go away

Em • Sun, Dec 04

I’m on day 9 of flu symptoms and I still have a slightly sore throat, a terrible cough (that produces phlegm), some congestion, and a plugged up ear. Is it odd to still have these symptoms? I thought flu usually lasts like 7 days. Based on how I feel today, I think I’ll be sick AT LEAST another few days.

Curious if anyone else experienced this? I didn’t get the flu vax this year so maybe that’s why it’s lasting so long.
