Overview
What is influenza
Influenza , referred to as influenza virus, is an acute respiratory infectious disease caused by influenza virus. Influenza viruses can be divided into three subtypes: Influenza A, Influenza B, and Influenza C. Among them, influenza A and B viruses are mainly caused by human infection and seasonal epidemics. The antigenicity of influenza viruses is variable and spreads rapidly. From October to March of the following year, it is the epidemic season for respiratory infectious diseases such as influenza.

How to spread influenza
Influenza patients and hidden infected people are the main sources of infection of seasonal influenza. The transmission route of influenza is mainly droplet transmission, and can also be transmitted directly or indirectly through mucosa such as the mouth, nasal cavity, and eyes. Clustered epidemics are prone to occur in densely populated places such as schools, childcare institutions and nursing homes.
What are the susceptible populations of influenza
The whole population is generally susceptible to influenza viruses, and after infection, it gains immunity to the homogeneous virus, but the duration is short, and there is no cross-immunity between various types and subtypes, and it can cause repeated diseases. Children, the elderly, pregnant women, and chronic patients are high-risk groups of influenza, and it is even more serious after influenza infection.
How to find out that you have flu
The symptoms of flu are as follows:
The disease suddenly occurs, and there will be high fever, pain all over the body, fatigue , bronchial inflammation and other symptoms, but the respiratory symptoms are mild. After the baby suffers from influenza, his appetite decreases or has no appetite, and he has symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, etc., and his mental state is poor and he has no energy to play.
If you have the above symptoms, you should pay attention, because you may have been "targeted" by the flu.
Common flu vs influenza vs COVID-19
Influenza is not a common cold. Although the two sound or look very similar, the flu is far more contagious than a common cold, and may cause serious complications and cause death. When the child has symptoms of "cold", many parents are stupid and can't tell the difference between the flu and the cold, and are often at a loss. The symptoms of influenza and cold are similar to those of the new coronary pneumonia, and are mainly distinguished by the nucleic acid test results. Understand the main differences in one picture!
What should I do if I have flu symptoms?
1
Go to the hospital in time for treatment. Patients and accompanying staff need to wear masks to avoid cross infection.
2
Try to avoid entering and leaving public places and reduce close contact with people around you. If you really need to go out, you should wear a mask. Use a handkerchief or tissue to cover your mouth and nose when sneezing or coughing to reduce the spread of the disease.
3
After influenza symptoms occur, pay attention to self-isolation and protection, open windows for ventilation, cover your mouth and nose with tissues, towels, etc. when coughing and sneezing, and wash your hands frequently with soapy water and hand sanitizer to disinfect items contaminated by influenza viruses in a timely manner.
How should parents take care of their children?
After the child is diagnosed with influenza, those with mild conditions can go home and take medicine for observation, while those with severe conditions need to be hospitalized for treatment. When parents take care of their children, they must first be timely quarantined.After isolation, the child's daily necessities, toys, etc. should be separated from other family members. They can be boiled for more than 30 minutes or disinfected with disinfectants such as ethanol , iodine, iodine tincture and other disinfectants. The room should be kept ventilated.
Children should have sufficient rest during fever, drink more water appropriately, eat easily digestible and nutritious, and relieve fever in time. The common drug used to treat influenza is a neuraminidase inhibitor.
How to prevent influenza?
Disease control expert interprets
Common cold and flu symptoms are similar, and they are both respiratory infectious diseases. Since they are all respiratory infectious diseases, of course they can be prevented together!
Prevention of respiratory infectious diseases - multiple diseases prevention
Influenza vaccine can be vaccinated with other vaccines at the same time, go to the outpatient clinic once to prevent multiple diseases.
- Annual influenza vaccination is an effective means to prevent influenza and can significantly reduce the risk of influenza and serious complications for vaccinated people.
- inactivated influenza vaccine and pneumococcal vaccine can be vaccinated at the same time, which can effectively reduce the risk of hospitalization for respiratory diseases, especially pneumonia, in autumn and winter.
- html people over 118 years old, inactivated influenza vaccine can be vaccinated with new coronavirus vaccine to prevent the epidemic of influenza and new coronavirus pneumonia.
- Wash hands frequently
- Wear a mask
- Less gather
- More ventilation
- Balance diet
- Adjust exercise
- Adequate rest
- Adhere to the mood
- Avoid close contact with patients with influenza symptoms such as fever, cough or sore throat.
- Patients should go to the fever clinic for medical treatment in time, and cover their mouth and nose with tissues, towels or elbows when coughing or sneezing.
- Patients should wear masks at home isolation to reduce contact with their families; patients' families should wear masks to reduce cross-infection.
- Patients go to work or class without illness.
vaccination with the new coronavirus vaccine, influenza vaccine and pneumococcal vaccine are effective measures to prevent respiratory infectious diseases in the autumn and winter.
