Influenza, also known as influenza, is a respiratory disease caused by influenza virus. It is mainly spread through droplets produced by patients when they cough, sneeze or talk. It is also possible to get infected by direct contact with the secretions of patients. According to Dr. Su Yongbai, although it is possible to get sick all year round, the peak transmission period usually occurs in winter, that is, from December to March every year, so everyone must step up their precautions. In terms of symptoms, patients may experience fever, runny nose, cough, sore throat, muscle pain, headache, vomiting, diarrhea, etc. Once you find that you have flu symptoms, do not go to work or school, and should maintain adequate rest and drink plenty of water. If symptoms persist or worsen, seek medical advice immediately. Dr. Su also reminded everyone that antibiotics are used to treat bacterial infections rather than viral infections. Therefore, taking antibiotics cannot cure influenza or speed up the recovery. doctor's prescription.<\/p>\n
Generally speaking, even if a person with a strong physique suffers from influenza, he can expect to recover in 4 to 5 days. As for the elderly or patients with chronic diseases, due to their weak resistance, they are more likely to develop complications once infected, including pneumonia, sinusitis, otitis media, muscle inflammation, encephalitis, myocarditis, etc. Therefore, it is necessary to prevent problems before they happen. Dr. Su said: "The best way to prevent influenza is to improve your living habits. A balanced diet, moderate exercise, adequate rest, maintaining a cheerful mood, and quitting smoking and other bad habits can all help to enhance personal resistance. Strengthening personal hygiene can also reduce the risk of infection. Specific measures include washing hands frequently, paying attention to household cleaning, maintaining indoor air circulation, avoiding crowded places, wearing masks when entering and exiting high-risk places, etc. In addition, influenza vaccination can reduce the severity of the disease and can reduce the risk of infection.
