The flu is a contagious illness caused by a group of viruses, one of which is influenza. Its symptoms include fever, malaise, cough, sore throat, body aches, headache, nasal congestion, and runny nose. The common flu usually clears up within a few days, between three and five. However, if left untreated, the infection can lead to serious complications, such as other infections, including pneumonia. The virus is easily transmitted from person to person through coughing or sneezing. Influenza often spreads rapidly in the form of epidemics during these seasons .
Flu prevention
• The best way to prevent the flu is to get vaccinated every year. This is because flu viruses can change from year to year, so vaccines need to be updated to protect against new strains that emerge each year. Furthermore, the level of protection provided by the previous year's vaccine decreases over time and may be too low to be effective the following year.
Flu care
- Drink plenty of fluids to avoid dehydration.
- Keep the house ventilated and allow sunlight to enter.
- Wash your hands frequently to prevent the spread.
- Avoid alcohol and caffeine.
- Rest at home and avoid going to crowded places.
- Avoid touching your eyes, nose, or mouth if your hands are not washed.
- Use over-the-counter (anti-flu) medications to treat symptoms, if necessary, and consult your doctor if symptoms persist or are severe.
