Understanding Influenza: Symptoms and Impact
Influenza, commonly known as the flu, is a contagious respiratory illness caused by flu viruses. It can range from mild to severe and, in some cases, can be fatal. Unlike a cold, the flu typically begins suddenly. People with the flu often experience some or all of the following symptoms: fever or chills (though not everyone with the flu will have a fever), cough, sore throat, runny or stuffy nose, muscle or body aches, headaches, and fatigue.
Infection Rates Around the World :
Influenza affects a significant number of people worldwide each year, with variations across different regions due to factors like viral strains, climate, and public health measures. While the severity and frequency of flu outbreaks can differ, the global burden remains high, impacting both individuals and healthcare systems

VACCINATION

HANDWASHINGStaying at least 1 meter away from sick individuals and avoiding crowded places can reduce transmission by 30-50% .
AVOID CLOSE CONTACT

TIMELY TREATEMENT
After a flu infection, it is crucial to follow a proper recovery process, even when symptoms begin to subside. Fatigue, muscle aches, and lingering cough may persist, and taking the necessary time to fully recover is essential to prevent complications or relapse.
A comprehensive recovery plan includes adequate rest, a balanced diet, and proper hydration to support the body's healing process and ensure a full return to health.
