The incubation period of influenza is usually two days but can range from one to four days. What are the symptoms of influenza? Typical influenza disease is characterized by abrupt onset of fever, aching muscles, sore throat, and non-productive cough. Additional symptoms may include runny nose, headache, a burning sensation in the chest, and eye pain and sensitivity to light. Typical influenza disease does not occur in every infected person.
ACTION: If sleeping on your left side doesnât help, and heartburn and indigestion are still proving a problem, prop up the head of your bed slightly, so that the upper body is higher than the stomach. This can help reduce acid reflux when sleeping, as gravity keeps the acid in the stomach.
Experts advise sleeping on your side, specifically your left side, to increase the blood flow to the placenta and your baby. If youâve been accustomed to sleeping on your back or on your stomach, itâs good to start training yourself early in your pregnancy to get used to side-sleeping. Before you know it, youâll be at a point when thereâs no other comfortable position except on your side.
