How long is a person with the flu contagious? You can pass the flu to others from 1 day before you have symptoms up to 5-7 days after you get sick. Some people might be able to infect others even longer. Is there treatment? The flu can be treated with antiviral drugs if started soon after you get sick.
A 2008 study in Hong Kong found that most viral shedding â when you're really passing the germs around â with influenza occurs in the first two or three days after a person gets sick. Kids can often be contagious for more than seven days. People typically have the flu for five to seven days, but some can stay sick for up to two weeks. Researchers say Day 2 tends to be the worst for symptoms, but that can vary. Anyone within a six-foot radius can give you the flu, according to the CDC, especially if that person is coughing, sneezing, or talking.
