With the arrival of cold air, the influenza virus is once again raging, and there has been a surge in reported cases of influenza in many parts of the country. Influenza, as a highly contagious respiratory disease, not only causes great pain to patients, but also poses a serious threat to public health.

Basic knowledge of influenza
Influenza, full name of influenza, is an acute respiratory infectious disease caused by influenza virus. Influenza viruses are mainly divided into two categories: influenza A and influenza B, which have high variability and infectivity. The main symptoms of influenza include fever, cough, sore throat, nasal congestion, runny nose, body aches, fatigue, etc. In severe cases, it may lead to complications such as pneumonia and myocarditis, and even endanger life.
The transmission route of influenza is mainly through droplets, such as those released during coughing and sneezing, and can also be infected by touching the mouth, nose, eyes, and other parts of the body after coming into contact with objects contaminated with the virus. The incubation period of influenza virus is usually 1-4 days, and patients are contagious from the end of the incubation period to the acute phase of onset.
Prevention and control measures for influenza
In order to effectively prevent and control the influenza epidemic, individuals and society should take the following measures:
1. Vaccination: Getting vaccinated against influenza is the most effective way to prevent the flu. Before the annual flu season, it is recommended that susceptible individuals (such as the elderly, children, pregnant women, chronic disease patients, etc.) receive the flu vaccine in a timely manner.
2. Personal hygiene: Maintain good personal hygiene habits, such as washing hands frequently, using soap and running water for at least 20 seconds; Cover your mouth and nose with a tissue or elbow when coughing or sneezing; Avoid touching your mouth, nose, and eyes with your hands.
3. Environmental cleanliness: Maintain indoor air circulation and regularly open windows for ventilation; Regularly clean and disinfect residential and workplace areas.
4. Reduce gatherings: During the flu season, try to avoid crowded places and minimize unnecessary gatherings and group activities.
5. Seek medical attention promptly: Once flu symptoms appear, seek medical attention immediately and follow the doctor’s advice for treatment and isolation.
