What causes muscles to ache when you have the flu?

Question

It kinda feels the same as if you have been working out, a lactic burn and soreness, will you muscle grow back bigger like in body building?

Answer 1

yup, its acid build up, but you'll lose muscle mass and not gain it...The best cure for it is antioxidant vitamin supplements and WATER....I also like to soak, if you've got a hot tub thats great, but a hot bath too....but you have to drink plenty of water while you're in there.
