13. Hoarseness
Another symptom that some people notice when they are stricken down with the flu is having a hoarse voice, or losing your voice. Most of the time, this occurs due to constant sneezing, coughing and from having a dry throat as well. Other times, the hoarseness is also due to the vocal chords being inflamed due to the virus, and the voice becomes raspy from persistent coughing and clearing of the throat. In order to lessen the effects of having a hoarse voice, be sure to drink plenty of fluids, try not to speak too often, and be sure to get enough rest.
