Our common influenza (referred to as "influenza" for short) is an acute respiratory infectious disease caused by influenza virus, which usually causes many people to be infected in a certain season or time period and has obvious seasonality.
According to the statistics of the World Health Organization, the seasonal epidemic of influenza virus can lead to an average of about 3 million to 5 million severe cases and 290,000 to 650,000 respiratory disease-related deaths worldwide every year.
Recently, according to the latest data from China CDC, acute respiratory infectious diseases are on the rise, among which influenza virus accounts for 10.8% of all respiratory infectious diseases, far exceeding other pathogens.

Antiviral treatment within 48 hours.
Can reduce severe illness
48 hours after the onset of influenza, we call it 48 hours of medication. Try to take effective antiviral drugs within 48 hours of gold, and then use them more than 48 hours, and the curative effect will be much worse.
Influenza virus is highly contagious and spreads quickly, mainly through respiratory droplets, but also through contact. The incubation period after infection is generally 1~4 days, with an average of 2 days.

Yang Yanli said that antibiotics should not be used indiscriminately after being infected with influenza virus. Influenza is a virus, and antibiotics can inhibit or kill bacteria, but they are useless to viruses.

The flu is hard to carry? Beware of complications!
In daily life, although many influenza and common cold are respiratory diseases, they are not the same. Do not treat influenza as a common cold.
Believe that in life
Many people don’t believe in "evil"!
Think it’s just a cold
Carry it for a few days.
Is that really the case?
If the symptoms of the common cold appear and it is clearly diagnosed that it is not the flu, you can carry it appropriately according to your personal physique, usually drink more water, rest more, pay attention to keep warm, and your condition will gradually improve.
Although influenza is also a self-limiting disease, its course of disease is long and its symptoms are serious. If you carry it hard, you may miss the "golden time" of influenza treatment, which will lead to aggravation of symptoms and complications, such as pneumonia, myocarditis and heart failure. At the same time, it will increase the risk of infection and reduce the quality of life.
What circumstances require timely medical treatment?
Be alert to severe cases and seek medical advice in time when the following situations occur:
Persistent high fever: body temperature ≥39℃ for more than 3 days.
Difficulty breathing or lack of oxygen.
The respiratory rate increased, and the oxygen saturation was lower than 90%.
Consciousness disorder: including coma, lethargy, delirium and other manifestations.
Severe dehydration: dry mouth, poor skin elasticity, decreased urine output or anuria.
Significant chest pain or abdominal pain: It may indicate pneumonia, myocarditis or intra-abdominal infection.
