question about flu and immune systems

my bf just had a major flu. bedridden for 3-4 days earlier this week. i also caught the bug. i started with a fever last night took one pill and it went away. had some soreness and it also went away. now i'm just sneezing. is the difference of severity due to our immune systems? or should i expect it to get worse eventually.

it takes a coupla weeks in general to gestate an infection.

you may have modified it, or you may have gotten a 'dumbed down version' and may just have the sniffles...

or you've practiced excellent preventative medicine and skirted this bug this time.

just take care of yourself always and rest when you feeling it hitting hard.
