Symptoms of the flu:
http://www.flufacts.com/know/symptom...uFACTS%20Broad
The flu often has sore throat and or/ stomach ache.
The aching muscles are typically felt severely in the back and legs.
An infection in the foot/ or blood/ typically does not have the runny nose/ sore throat/coughing the flu brings. A high fever however, may make a person weak, and sore all over.
Check for Alan's foot: redness spreading up, swelling, throbbing, or red streaks on the lower legs. Redness and/or swelling suggests cellulitis. The red streaks suggest infection getting into the blood stream.
Most blisters have only clear fluid in them. Blood and pus? That is more serious IMO. A blood test for CBC differential would show if this is a serious infection.
People with psoriasis, often show slightly different skin responses to injury. My husband tends to make blisters easily...but they never have blood in them or pus. (only clear fluid).
