Cold air strikes, flu season is high, and I don't want to take medicine or injections. How to effectively prevent it? With the arrival of the cold wave, many areas have entered the flu season. Influenza is a subacute respiratory infection caused by influenza virus infection, with symptoms such as burning sensation, muscle pain, drowsiness and headache.

So what are the characteristics of influenza? Can you resist the flu in the past? How to prevent influenza? Today, everyone will explain them one by one

What are the characteristics of influenza? There are three kinds of influenza, but the main ones that make people feel sick and have periodic epidemics are hepatitis A and hepatitis B virus infection. The epidemic period is about one year 10 to the next March, and each epidemic gradually takes about 4-6 weeks. According to the notice issued by National Health Commission on June 5438+ 10, the theme activities of influenza in the north and south of China are obviously lower than the same period, and the theme activities of influenza in the south have shown an obvious growth trend since September. With the development trend of COVID-19 epidemic, there may be the risk of cumulative epidemic of respiratory infectious diseases such as pneumonia and influenza in COVID-19 this winter and next spring.

Can you resist the flu in the past? In daily life, many people are actually afraid of seeing a doctor, especially young people. Sometimes minor fever and cold will pass, but the hidden harm of flu is much greater than fever and cold. Influenza can cause virus infection to spread from the respiratory system, thus causing COVID-19, or invading other internal organs, leading to heart disease. If left untreated, it will cause serious harm. But don't worry too much. For most people who are physically and mentally healthy, flu symptoms will subside within 5-7 days, but fatigue will last for a while. If the symptoms are mild, you can treat them at home, such as taking more rest and drinking more water to see if the symptoms have eased. If you have a fever, a runny nose turns into a thick nose or your condition persists, it means that your condition is getting worse, so you need to go to the hospital immediately.

How to prevent influenza? 1, self-prevention

At first, it is best to go to areas where people gather less within the time range of frequent influenza. Even if you go, you must wear a mask and wash your hands thoroughly when you come back. In order to better protect others and yourself, you should use toilet paper when coughing and sneezing to prevent droplets from spreading. Secondly, we should pay special attention to indoor ventilation and keep indoor ventilation, so that virus infection is not easy to grow. The third point is to strengthen physical exercise and improve our ability to resist diseases. If there are mild symptoms, we must drink more water and eat more light food, which is conducive to clearing away heat and reducing fire.

2. Drug prevention

At present, the application of inactivated influenza vaccine has been approved in China for a long time, and the injection date is September-165438+1October of one year.
