During the Spring Festival, there is a large flow of people, and there is a high probability of contracting respiratory diseases during visiting relatives and friends and taking long-distance transportation. Xu Yi, director of the Department of Internal Medicine of Guangzhou Women and Children's Medical Center, said that the current national influenza drug reserves are sufficient, and he hopes that everyone will not follow the trend and rush to buy them.
In fact, fever can be treated with antipyretics first, and antiviral drugs can be used after the flu is diagnosed. Chen Yunbin, director of the Department of Pediatrics of Guangdong Provincial Maternal and Child Health Hospital, suggested.
Beware of influenza during the Spring Festival.
On January 25, the National Health Commission said at a press conference that the current new crown epidemic is still at a low level, influenza activity is on a downward trend, and the daily diagnosis and treatment of respiratory diseases in outpatient and emergency departments in medical institutions across the country continues to decline. During the Spring Festival travel period, the flow of people and gathering activities increased, and the risk of respiratory disease infection increased. Therefore, the public is reminded to make personal protection preparations before departure, wear masks scientifically during the journey, and continue to maintain good hygiene habits such as frequent hand washing and cough etiquette, so as to reduce the risk of infection as much as possible.
Are the systemic symptoms more pronounced?
Recently, many parents have been asking in the outpatient clinic, "Is it more serious to be infected with influenza B than influenza A?" Chen Yunbin explained: "In terms of clinical manifestations, the main symptoms of both types of influenza include fever, cough, sore throat, etc. However, there are some slight differences in severity: patients with influenza A tend to have a higher fever, reaching 38Above 5°C is common; The fever is relatively mild, and some people may have a low-grade fever. However, the severity of systemic symptoms such as fatigue and muscle aches that may be caused by B flu, as well as complications such as nausea and vomiting that may occur in a small number of patients, may be more obvious than that of A flu. ”
Anti-influenza drugs can only be used after the disease is diagnosed.
Chen Yunbin said: "In terms of ** method, whether it is a flow A or a flu B, before the diagnosis, for infected patients with fever and cough symptoms, we recommend that they first carry out targeting**, such as the use of fever-reducing drugs. For children, co-aminophen tablets containing acetaminophen can relieve the discomfort caused by fever and help prevent complications such as high fever and convulsions, and anti-influenza drugs such as oseltamivir can only be used after the diagnosis is confirmed. ”
Chen Yunbin specially reminded that the two drugs oseltamivir and mabaloxavir have similar efficacy against influenza, but the methods of use and course of treatment are different. Oseltamivir needs to be used for 5 consecutive days and is suitable for people over 1 year old; Mabaloxavir, on the other hand, only needs a single dose to complete the course of treatment and is suitable for people over 5 years old. It is important to note that the effects of both drugs are not immediate, and both take time to take effect.
In addition, Chen Yunbin suggested that once flu-like symptoms appear, you should seek medical attention as soon as possible, which can not only improve the accuracy of diagnosis, but also improve the effect of administration within 48 hours, which will help shorten the course of the disease.
Winter and spring are periods of high incidence of respiratory diseases, and good rest and adequate sleep are closely related to immunity. Therefore, experts remind the public that it is important to avoid staying up late and maintain a regular schedule during the Spring Festival to prevent respiratory diseases.
