As we all know, influenza is short for influenza. Don't think that the flu is just a common cold. In fact, compared with the common cold, the symptoms of influenza are more serious. The main symptoms are sudden chills, fever, headache, body aches, stuffy nose, runny nose, dry cough, chest pain, nausea and loss of appetite. Infants or the elderly may be complicated with pneumonia or heart failure. Patients with toxic influenza are characterized by high fever, nonsense, coma, convulsions and sometimes even death.

Two, the prevention of influenza "eight points for attention"

Recently, the temperature difference between day and night is large, which is the high incidence season of influenza, norovirus, mumps, hand, foot and mouth disease and other infectious diseases. In fact, the current trend of influenza A and other influenza is relatively normal, and it will happen every year in spring.

At present, influenza A has attracted much attention, mainly because many people still have negative fears about COVID-19, so the news of respiratory diseases spreads widely.

In fact, spring belongs to the flu season. Therefore, we should pay attention to prevent influenza in spring. To prevent influenza, we can start from the following aspects.

1, pay attention to personal exercise

Reasonable arrangement of some physical exercises, such as walking, running, mountain climbing and ball games, can enhance physical fitness and improve the body's ability to resist virus attacks.

2. Pay attention to adequate rest.

Keep enough sleep, try not to stay up late, arrange rest in time when you feel tired, and be energetic to resist external evils.

Pay attention to your daily diet

Reasonable arrangement of diet, balanced collocation of protein, sugar, fat, minerals, vitamins and other nutrients that help to enhance physical fitness can supplement foods rich in vitamin C. Eat regularly and don't overeat. In addition, pay attention to drink plenty of water, because it is easier to cause virus attacks after getting angry.

4, pay attention to cold and warm.

Clothes should change according to the change of temperature. When sleeping, the indoor temperature is 18-22 degrees. Sunlight not only helps to keep warm indoors, but also helps to sterilize and disinfect, so it should be fully utilized.

5. Pay attention to personal hygiene

Wash your hands frequently, keep your hands clean and try to avoid touching your eyes, nose and mouth. Don't simply wash your hands under the tap. Wash them carefully with soap for as long as possible. Pay attention to wearing a mask when going out. Although wearing a mask can't completely stop the virus, it is one of the best ways to reduce infection at present.

6. Pay attention to air circulation

Influenza virus is spread through the air, especially in a closed environment. It is necessary to open the window frequently and keep indoor air circulation, so as to reduce the indoor virus concentration and reduce people's chances of contact with the virus.

7, pay attention to preventive medication

During the influenza epidemic, preventive medication can reduce the chance of getting the flu. Traditional Chinese medicine, such as Lianhua Qingwen Capsule, has broad-spectrum antiviral, antibacterial and anti-inflammatory effects and is the first choice for preventing influenza.

8. Pay attention to influenza vaccination.

Vaccination on a regular basis to form an immune barrier is one of the effective measures to prevent and treat influenza.

Third, what should I do if I have flu symptoms?

1, go to the hospital in time. Patients and caregivers need to wear masks to avoid cross infection.

2. Try to avoid going in and out of public places and reduce close contact with people around you. If you really need to go out, you should wear a mask. Cover your mouth and nose with a handkerchief or paper towel when sneezing or coughing to reduce the spread of the disease.

3. Pay attention to self-isolation and protection, open the window for ventilation, cover your mouth and nose with paper towels and towels when coughing or sneezing, wash your hands often with soapy water and hand sanitizer, and disinfect the items contaminated by influenza virus in time.

In the face of the current swine flu, we should pay attention to prevent norovirus. After the patient is infected with norovirus, try not to have close contact with his family during the period of home isolation. If they need contact, they should wear masks and do personal hand hygiene before and after contact. It is best to use a separate toilet, because the vomit and feces of the case contain a lot of viruses, so the toilet should be cleaned and disinfected every day; Keep indoor air circulation, because the aerosol generated by vomit may also spread diseases. If the symptoms are still not relieved after taking the medicine for several days, you should go to the hospital in time and don't extend the course of treatment by yourself.
