After the beginning of winter, various parts of our province are facing a variety of respiratory infectious diseases, among which the number of children infected with influenza, Mycoplasma pneumoniae and respiratory syncytial virus continues to increase. As the number of people queuing up for outpatient clinics in major hospitals continues to increase, many people have questions about the flu: "Does the flu have to be **?"Can it heal on its own?How is the drug medicated?”。
Let's find out!
Recently, the flu is high, many people have repeated infections, and even some people have become Xi to it, and feel that the flu does not need **, it can completely heal itself. But this is not true. Influenza is a common respiratory infection caused by the influenza virus. At the same time the flu usually lasts 7 to 10 days, but during this time, we experience a peak of discomfort and symptoms. This is because our immune system responds to the flu virus, gradually removing the virus and repairing the damaged tissues, making it possible to recover.
But there are also risks associated with doing so, as the flu virus is a strong virus that can replicate and multiply quickly in the human body. If effective measures are not taken in time, the influenza virus may continue to attack the body, leading to exacerbations. At the same time, influenza is a highly contagious disease that spreads through airborne droplets. If you are infected with the flu virus and do not take the appropriate measures, you may increase the risk of spreading the virus to others. This is especially dangerous for vulnerable groups such as the elderly, children, and people with weakened immune systems. It may even trigger some serious complications such as pneumonia, heart disease, etc.
Don't panic after getting the flu, remember these three points!
1. Maintain adequate water intake
The flu virus causes the body to heat and sweat, leading to the loss of water in the body. Therefore, we need to make sure that we replenish enough water to maintain the body's water balance. Drinking enough water helps to dilute viruses and toxins and promote the body's detoxification function. At the same time, water can also help improve symptoms such as sore throat and cough. Warm tea, warm water, and juice are all good options. Avoid caffeinated and alcoholic beverages, as they may cause dehydration. Ensuring adequate water intake can help speed up the process.
2. Do not mix drugs
After catching the flu, we often tend to use medications to relieve symptoms and speed things up**. Especially in the flu recurring, people tend to try multiple drugs to**, however, it is important to know that different drugs may produce chemical reactions in the body, leading to the occurrence of adverse reactions. In particular, some Western drugs may have drug interactions, and the superposition of multiple drugs will increase the number of drugs, and patients may have liver damage, kidney damage and other conditions. Not only that, drug interactions can also lead to the appearance of uncomfortable symptoms such as indigestion, headaches, insomnia, etc., which can further aggravate the patient's discomfort and backfire.
3. Rational use of drugs
For patients in the early stage of influenza, it is more suitable for traditional Chinese medicine than Western medicine, such as Qida Li Jingfang Granules.
It has the functions of sweating, dispelling wind, dehumidifying, relieving cough and improving immunity, speeding up the improvement of patients and improving the recovery rate. It has a good effect on fever, headache and body pain, chills without sweating, nasal congestion, mucus, cough and other symptoms.
At the same time, the flu is affected by the external disease, the principle of the external infection of traditional Chinese medicine is to disperse the evil and go out, if you come up, you will use the medicine of great bitterness and cold, the cold master convergence, this cold medicine is not conducive to the dispersion, it is easy to introduce the evil into the body, and Jingfang granules have the effect of sweating and dissolving the surface, dispersing wind and dampness, and can disperse the wind poison of the outer muscle surface and closing the body, and remove the dampness of the surface and the inside.
