Does getting the flu make you stronger?

Getting the flu does not make you stronger. In fact, it can weaken your immune system and make you more susceptible to other infections. While some people may bounce back quickly and feel better after a few days of rest and fluids, the flu can sometimes lead to serious complications such as pneumonia, bacterial infections or even death. The best way to stay healthy and avoid the flu is to get vaccinated every year and practice good hygiene habits, including frequent hand washing, avoiding close contact with sick people, and covering your mouth and nose when coughing or sneezing.
