Should I visit my doctor when I contract flu?

accreditation
You should always visit your doctor when you feel seriously ill.

If you fall into one of the high risk groups for flu, it is also advisable, whether your symptoms are severe or not, as you could easily develop flu complications such as pneumonia, bronchitis, sinusitis or ear infection.

Anyone who has developed a high fever should see a health professional.
