The Health Protection Agency has warned that this winter's flu season is under way after increases in the number of school children with the infection.

It said there had been a rise in GP visits, outbreaks at schools and calls to NHS Direct about children aged five to 14.

Symptoms include a sudden fever, cough, sore throat, as well as aching muscles and joints.

Last winter was an incredibly mild flu season.
