When infected with the influenza virus, mild cases are mainly characterized by fever, fatigue, muscle aches and other symptoms. These symptoms can gradually resolve within a few days. For mild cases, it is recommended to maintain adequate rest, drink plenty of water, and take antipyretic and analgesic drugs appropriately to relieve symptoms. At the same time, keep indoor air circulation to avoid the spread of the virus.

However, for severe cases, the situation is very different. Severe cases not only have more severe symptoms, including high fever, difficulty breathing, severe muscle aches, etc., but may also lead to complications such as pneumonia and acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), which can aggravate the condition and prolong the recovery time.

For severe cases, in addition to the above-mentioned measures such as rest, drinking water, antipyretic and analgesic drugs, medical attention is also required**. Depending on the condition, the doctor will give antiviral drugs, antibiotics, hormones, etc.**. At the same time, patients need to maintain good airway patency and give oxygen therapy if necessary. In the process, family members and medical staff should pay close attention to the changes in the condition, and once there is a critical situation such as respiratory failure, they should be treated in time.

So, how can you prevent the flu? First and foremost, it is important to practice good hygiene. Wash your hands frequently, especially after touching objects in public places and before touching your mouth, nose, eyes, etc. Second, avoid crowded places and reduce contact with people with the flu. Winter is the time when the flu is high, so try to avoid staying in the crowd for a long time. In addition, getting a flu vaccine is also an effective way to prevent influenza. Vaccines are updated every year according to changes in the flu virus, so getting up to date with your flu vaccine can greatly reduce the risk of infection.
