Influenza is not just a \"cold with a fever.\" It is an acute viral respiratory disease caused by RNA viruses of the genus *Influenzavirus*, which literally hack into the epithelial cells of the upper and lower respiratory tracts. Unlike ARVI, influenza develops rapidly: within 12\u201324 hours, you can go from mild weakness to a fever of 39\u201340 \u00b0C, body aches, and a headache so severe that even light seems piercing. This pain is one of the most agonizing symptoms, and its onset often prompts a visit to the doctor within the first day. It is not just \"a headache\" \u2014 it is a pressing, pulsating, sometimes bursting pain in the forehead, temples, or back of the head, exacerbated by light sensitivity, nausea, and an inability to concentrate. If you feel that \"your whole body is burning, and your head is swelling like a balloon,\" you are likely facing influenza \u2014 and it is important to understand why this happens and how to act correctly.<\/p>\n
