I'm here to send health
As the temperature plummets, so does the peak incidence of influenza B. Recently, hospitals in many places in China have received a large number of influenza patients. Influenza B is different from the common cold in that it is highly contagious and tends to cause widespread epidemics. How should we respond to the threat of influenza B? This article will answer for you.
First, let's get to know the basics of influenza B. Influenza B viruses are divided into B A and B B, with influenza B A viruses being prone to large-scale epidemics and influenza B B viruses being mild. Influenza B is transmitted in a similar way to the new coronavirus, mainly through droplets, such as coughing and sneezing. In addition, influenza B virus can also be transmitted through direct contact, such as touching items contaminated with the virus and then touching mucous membranes such as the mouth, nose, and eyes.
In the face of the threat of influenza B, doctors warn that these two things cannot be delayed.
First things first: seek medical attention promptly. Once symptoms such as fever, cough, sore throat, and fatigue appear, you should seek medical attention in time. The doctor will give you a symptom based on your condition and the results of your viral tests**. Early** can effectively reduce the severity of the disease and reduce the risk of complications. In addition, antibiotics are not effective against influenza B viruses, and patients should never self-administer antibiotics.
The second thing: take personal protection. In daily life, we should practice good hygiene, wash hands frequently, wear masks, and avoid crowded public places. Especially during the high incidence of influenza, it is necessary to pay more attention to personal protection. Influenza B vaccination is also an effective means of preventing influenza B. When the vaccine is renewed every year, eligible people should get vaccinated as soon as possible to improve immunity.
In addition to the above two points, we can also take the following measures in our daily lives to prevent influenza B:
1.Maintain good indoor air circulation. Being in a confined space for a long time can easily lead to the growth of viruses, so it is necessary to open windows regularly for ventilation to keep the indoor air fresh.
2.Increase physical activity. Physical exercise can improve physical fitness, enhance immunity, and effectively prevent influenza B.
3.Maintain a good routine. Getting enough sleep helps your body recover and reduces your risk of contracting influenza B.
4.Diet. Maintaining a balanced diet, eating more vegetables and fruits, and properly supplementing vitamins and minerals can help improve immunity.
5.Pay attention to the dynamics of the epidemic. Pay close attention to the epidemic information released by the local health department, understand the activity of influenza viruses, and take preventive measures in time.
In short, during the high incidence period of influenza B, we should do a good job of personal protection, seek medical attention in time, and take corresponding preventive measures. Only in this way can we defend the health of ourselves and our families in this battle against the virus.
In this battle against the virus, we must always be vigilant and not take it lightly. Let's work together to defend against influenza B and a better tomorrow.
