I had to look man flu up.
The concept of 'man flu' has sparked controversy, notably in a Boots advertisement featuring the tagline "when he’s ill and you don’t have time to be – get cold and flu products for just 99p at Boots." This ad ignited debate about gender stereotypes and perceptions of illness in popular culture. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Man_flu

I haven't had a cold virus for six years. And then it was more like a coughing virus, very irritated throat. It was so bad coughing all the time, I couldn't work because people wouldn't want to be around someone coughing all the time.
