The emergency department in Shenzhen has to wait hundreds of times. Is the flu really serious?

It's really serious. Every year when the seasons alternate, colds are usually the most popular, and this year is no exception. There are indeed many people suffering from influenza in Shenzhen. This wave of flu should have started in early June. For example, my children go to kindergarten, and four of the 25 children in their class have caught a cold and are asking for leave. I believe this is not an individual phenomenon, but a common phenomenon. If you go to the emergency departments of major hospitals in Shenzhen, you will find that there are many people in the emergency department now, and sometimes you have to wait hundreds of times before it is your turn.

But this round of flu is relatively not very serious. Some children with good resistance should take medicine for two or three days. Some children with poor resistance will go to the hospital for intravenous drip, and it is estimated that they will basically recover in two or three days. For example, last week, the child caught a cold and took cold medicine for two days. Then I went to the hospital and ate for two days. Then why are so many people suffering from the flu in Shenzhen recently? As for the real reason, we can't say, but according to my children's situation and some actual situations I have contacted, some children may have several reasons for catching a cold.

First, seasonal flu. This period of time is the season of alternating spring and summer. This season is the easiest to catch a cold, and the common cold will also occur in this season.

Second, continuous rainy weather is more likely to cause influenza infection. Shenzhen can be said to be rainy and rainy, and it rains most of the time. After the rain, the air will become very humid, which is the most likely to cause the spread of influenza. Moreover, in the case of continuous rain, many children can only stay indoors and lack outdoor sports. In this way, their resistance will definitely decline, and once they encounter the flu, they may not be able to hold on.

Third, the trouble caused by turning on the air conditioner at night. My child's cold is caused by turning on the air conditioner at night, because it has been raining in Shenzhen recently, but it is very hot when it doesn't rain, so the child can't sleep at all, so we will turn on the air conditioner at night, but it may rain in the middle of the night and the weather will suddenly cool down. At this time, if the children toss and turn, adults will easily catch a cold if they don't cover the children in time, which is very easy to catch a cold. As far as the actual situation of some people I contact with is concerned, many of them caught a cold because they didn't turn on the air conditioner in the middle of the night and didn't cover the quilt in time. In combination with the above reasons, I suggest that you exercise more at ordinary times and go out to exercise more when it doesn't rain to enhance your resistance. At the same time, when turning on the air conditioner at night, don't turn the temperature too low, it is best to choose between 27-28 degrees. And if there are children at home, be sure to cover them with quilts in time and don't catch cold.
