The flu that did not take medicine was gone.

The flu is a very common disease. Everyone has had a flu. Some people are many times a year, if you have someone to explore. I think the economic loss from the flu is enormous. All about medication, treatment and work opportunities.

In fact, the flu is a preventable disease. And maintenance is not difficult at all. If we come to understand the facts a little bit.

What is the flu?
The flu is caused mainly by the virus. Only a few are caused by bacteria. The virus that causes or has many symptoms, but the symptoms are similar all the same.

How to contact each other?
Colds are contagious. And the disease is very easy. Notice that schoolboy Especially small children will live. Because they stick to each other. Bring home again at home.

How to contact it by coughing sneeze together and the key is. Contact hand When the hand to touch the virus from other people. Then crush the nose, rub the eye (eyes with a pipe to the nose), it will cause infection with colds. Most of us do not realize that when caught from someone who is aware of the flu.

What is the symptoms of the flu?
Do not tell, I would know everyone well. No one will ever have the flu. Symptoms are nasal congestion, sneezing, coughing, sneezing, fever, sore throat, but some of you may not have enough symptoms that come. And the symptoms are very different. Depending on the disease and the body of the infection itself. Most symptoms range from 2 to 7 days. Some are longer.

How to treat colds
Colds caused by the virus will disappear offline. I do not need to heal as well. Just enough rest. If the symptoms are minor. No medication is needed. If symptoms are severe, use medications such as symptoms. Use nasal decongestants, antipyretics, and cough suppressants. These medicines are obtainable. By the general pharmacy offline. Properties of each brand is the same.

However These medications do not get cold faster. Just to relieve the symptoms alone, the conclusion is that taking medication or not taking medicine quickly disappears.

Should I take antibiotics?
Common cold as it is said that it is caused by the virus. There is no reason. To take antibiotics Or that some people call antibiotics. In addition to not work well, it also has the effect of preventing the resistant bacteria. More and more Until it is used to treat bacterial infections do not work anymore. We lose good medicine. Prices are unfortunately down.

When to use antibiotics.
When it is infected with bacteria. By observing snot and sputum. If it is yellow or green, it should eat. Antibiotics for 5 to 7 days may start with Ampicillin or Amoxicillin. (Amoxycillin). Another case is that complications from the flu occurred. As mentioned next.
Should I inject?
Frequently, there are patients with colds and then ask for a lot of injection. By understanding that the injection and the flu will disappear soon. Or have you ever been to a clinic where some of the injections were injected. I understand that the flu should be injected. Please clarify here that this is not true. If no one is injected, it will be rejected straight away, especially seeing the children being injected with crying sickly and becoming sick with the disease. Just saw the doctor was crying.

When to see the doctor.
If read from the beginning. The flu is a disease that does not need to see the doctor. Everybody can care Myself well As with the treatment with the doctor. But sometimes it is necessary to see a doctor. Because the flu has complications have occurred as well.

The following symptoms should have the following symptoms:
1. When mucus and sputum are greenish yellow and try to take antibiotics for 2 to 3 days, the symptoms are not relieved. Show that the bacteria may be resistant to food.
2. Ear and ear pain rarely heard. May be inflamed
3. Nasal pain may very well be sinusitis.
4. There are symptoms of suffocation, shortness of breath, sputum, which may be symptoms of infection. Lower respiratory tract
5. Have a fever for more than a week because it is known that most of the flu from the virus will disappear within a week, so the doctor must find another cause.
6. Sore throat more than 3 days, because some people may have tonsillitis as well. The common cold, the sore throat, will be very early days, then gradually heal. The tonsillitis will sore throat more and more.



How do we prevent colds?
Flu is a preventable disease. The best defense is to avoid the flu. This is easy to do but very difficult to do. Because the disease is very common. By caution or coughing. Wash your hands before touching your nose or rubbing your eyes. Because the channel is infected with colds, in addition, is to maintain the strength of the body, such as moderate exercise. Sleep well enough rest

What is the flu?
Influenza is caused by a virus, unlike the common cold. Similar symptoms But have a higher fever More pain More exhaustion is cured later than care and prevention of complications. It's the same approach to keeping the flu in general.

In cases of high fever, sometimes taking antacids, the fever is still high. The solution is to use a cloth moistened with water, wipe the body, use plain cork, moistened with a damp cloth. Until the fever is wiped down the neck nooks, necks, arms, legs, forehead, remember where it is very hot. Wipe it. If the fabric starts to heat, it must be moistened again. When the cold High fever started to wipe.

The flu is simple. Lost easily and repeatedly. Care in the absence of complications is not difficult. Because the disease is lost itself. Precautionary measures, if possible, will be the best.
