How to prevent spring flu

We know that preventing disease is definitely much simpler than treating it. Although we cannot see the effect of disease prevention, as long as the disease does not occur, the preventive work we do is very important. So don't give up because the process of disease prevention is too cumbersome. Flu is the abbreviation of influenza. Flu is caused by influenza virus. So how can we prevent spring flu?

Influenza is very easy to spread in the spring, so we must maintain good personal hygiene, wash our hands frequently, and pay attention to our diet. When the flu is prevalent, we should try not to go to crowded places.

Influenza can aggravate underlying diseases (such as heart and lung diseases) or cause secondary bacterial pneumonia or primary influenza virus pneumonia. The elderly and those with various chronic diseases or weak constitutions are prone to serious complications after contracting influenza, and the mortality rate is high. It can spread rapidly in the community through air droplets or direct contact. The annual infection rate is 5-15% in adults and 15-42% in children. School students or kindergarten children are the main causes of influenza transmission in families. Since influenza is a viral infectious disease with no specific treatment, preventive measures are very important. Key preventive measures include:

(1) Maintain good personal and environmental hygiene.

(2) Wash your hands frequently, using soap or hand sanitizer and running water. Do not wipe your hands with a dirty towel. Wash your hands immediately after they come into contact with respiratory secretions (such as after sneezing).

(3) When sneezing or coughing, cover your mouth and nose with a handkerchief or tissue to prevent droplets from contaminating others. Flu patients should wear masks at home or when going out to avoid infecting others.

(iv) Eat a balanced diet, exercise moderately, get enough rest, and avoid excessive fatigue.

(5) Open windows several times a day to ventilate (avoid drafts in winter) and keep the indoor air fresh.

(6) During the peak influenza season, try not to go to crowded places with polluted air; if you have to go, it is best to wear a mask.

(VII) Preventive protection can also be achieved through influenza vaccination. Flu vaccines are usually given before flu season arrives, but are effective even during the flu season. Because influenza viruses are constantly mutating, influenza vaccines should be given every year.

Above we introduced what influenza is. We know that influenza is the abbreviation of influenza. Influenza can be prevented. As long as we pay attention to personal hygiene, exercise more and eat scientifically, wash our hands frequently and pay attention to rest, we can effectively prevent influenza.
