Flu symptoms usually last 3 to 7 days, but sometimes up to 10 days. Cough from the flu could last longer than the other symptoms, perhaps up to 2 weeks. If cough continues beyond that time, you should contact your health care professional to be sure you do not have a secondary respiratory infection.
