I was diagnosed with Inflenza A two days ago.  Today Ive had some slight bleeding from my left ear.  Could the two be related?  Should I make a repeat visit to the doctors office ( I dont want to infect others unnecessarily.), and how long does the flu usually last?  Ive had cold symptoms for over a week, but no fever until early yesterday morning.
The bleeding from the ear can be surely due to Influenza infection. Please consult your doctor. The viral symptoms generally last for up to a week.
