As an experienced doctor, I would like to remind you that with the start of the school year just around the corner, it is important to have some knowledge about the prevention of some common infectious diseases in the spring. Let's work together to create a healthy and safe learning environment for children.

1. Influenza. Influenza is an acute respiratory infection caused by influenza viruses and is mainly transmitted through droplets. In spring, the climate is changeable, and the body's resistance decreases, making it easy to catch the flu. The precautions are as follows:
