It's important to learn which kind of illness you're dealing with. That's because the flu can have serious complications, like the lung infection pneumonia. It can even be deadly. Flu treatments work best within 48 hours of the time symptoms start. Prescription antiviral drugs may cut the time you're sick.
In 2016, Franki and her 20-year-old daughter, Brittany, were inseparable. Britt, as she was known, and her mom could have passed for sisters. They worked together in Franki's housecleaning business in Milford, IA, and often traveled together.
