What is considered a flu complication?
What are some complications from the flu? Can I die from a flu? Which complications are the scariest?

Yes, there are serious flu complications that can put you in the hospital or even cause death if left untreated. One potentially deadly complication is pneumonia causes by an infection from bacteria or just a severe case of the flu. Some symptoms are thick, discolored mucus from the lungs, very high fever after feeling better, difficulty and pain while breathing, and sever chills. As per http://flu.emedtv.com/flu/flu-complications.html, “If you have any of these symptoms, you should contact your healthcare provider immediately to get the appropriate treatment.”

Additionally, the complications for children and teens can be even detrimental. They can develop Reye’s Syndrome. This affects the nervous system causing mental breaks like disorientation. Doctors believe there is a connection to aspirin products, whereas acetaminophen is ok. Convulsions, croup, and ear infections are other complication caused by the flu that can affect children and teens.
