common cold chest pain :: Article Creator Flu Symptoms Influenza, aka the flu, is a highly contagious virus that infects your nose, throat, and sometimes your lungs. You can get sick by being around someone with the flu when they cough, sneeze, or talk. That's because the virus travels through the air on tiny droplets of fluid.
