Most of the time, you will become contagious about 24 to 72 hours after contracting the influenza virus and remain that way for up to five days after the onset of symptoms. But children or people with compromised immune systems can be contagious to those around them for up to two weeks. Getting back to your normal routine will depend on how you are feeling. If you have any complications from the flu, your recovery, in terms of how you feel and what you can do, may take longer. What has your doctor adviced?
