seasonal illness
Flu, typically
A seasonal illness is a disease or health condition that occurs predominantly during particular times of year.
Flu peaks in winter, allergies flare in spring and fall, and certain viral infections surge when children return to school.
The term usually refers to common, recurring conditions rather than rare diseases: She always stocks up on cold medicine before seasonal illness hits.
