The influenza virus is a very common disease, especially in the context of seasonal alternation, climate change and crowding. Understanding the principles and care of their use is essential for the correct treatment, the mitigation of symptoms and the avoidance of unnecessary health risks.
I. The right to medication
The viral flu usually displays a range of symptoms, such as heat, cough, sneeze, throat pain, weakness, etc. The first principle is the rational use of medication for different symptoms.
Heating: When body temperature is below 38.5 °C, physical cooling measures are generally recommended, such as moist towels to wipe head, armpit, groin, etc., or the use of cooling stickers. If body temperature exceeds 38.5 °C, the use of accelerant can be considered, most commonly for ACCP and Broven. Acetaminophenol is relatively mild and works relatively quickly; in addition to abating, Broven also has some inflammatory effects.
Caution: When used, it is essential that the dose and interval specified in the drug instructions be strictly applied. In general, acetylaminophenol can be repeated once at intervals of 4 – 6 hours and not more than 4 times within 24 hours; Bloven can be used again at intervals of 6 – 8 hours and not in excess of one day. At the same time, it is necessary to avoid the simultaneous use of a variety of drugs with the same hypothermia to prevent overdose and increase the liver and kidney burden.
Cough: In the case of dry cough failure, the right-meth saphin, etc., can be used to suppress cough reflection. If the cough is accompanied by more sapling, it should be based on thorium, which can be released with ammonium chloride, etc.
Caution: For cough medicine, it cannot be overused in order to simply stop the cough, which itself is a way for the body to excrete the alien and clean the respiratory tract. If the cough is accompanied by abnormal conditions such as heat, breathing difficulties and chest pain, timely medical treatment should be provided.
Fluid aldicarb, sneeze: When such symptoms occur, a drug containing, inter alia, the chlorophenol composition of chlorophenol malate may be selected, which is effective in reducing allergies in the nose and the discomfort.
Caution: Such drugs may give rise to adverse effects such as sleep addiction, mouth drying, etc., so care should be taken to avoid activities requiring high concentration, such as driving motor vehicles, operating machines, etc.
Pain in the throat: Some tablets, such as watermelon cream, golden throats, etc., can be appropriately administered to help with local inflammation and pain relief.
Caution: When containing a film, do not overdose to avoid discomfort, as required by the instructions.
II. Determined to eliminate the misuse of antibiotics
Antibiotics can only be used to treat bacterial infections, and viral influenza is caused by viruses for which antibiotics do nothing. It’s completely wrong that many people mistook the cold for antibiotics.
Caution: The abuse of antibiotics not only does not treat viral influenza, but also disrupts the normal balance of the fungus in the body, leading to the creation of drug-resistant bacteria, which may become ineffective in the event of a real bacterial infection. Therefore, antibiotics should never be used in cases where there is no clear evidence of bacterial infections (e.g., blood routine tests indicate white cells, a rise in neutral particles).
Caution in joint use
Some patients take a variety of cold pills at the same time in order to make the cold feel better. It should be noted, however, that there is an overlap in the composition of many cold medicines.
Attention: For example, a number of cold medicines contain acetaminophenol and, if they are taken in combination with various other substances containing it, it is important to read the drug instructions carefully before the combination of the drug, to look at the drug content and avoid repeating the drug, in order to prevent overdose, increase the liver and kidney burden and even cause adverse reactions.
IV. Special attention needs to be paid to specific populations
(a) Children: The use of medication for children is calculated accurately on the basis of age and weight, and many cold medicines have a specific child-type and should be given priority.
Attention: Children ‘ s liver and kidney function is not yet fully developed and their resistance to drugs is relatively poor, so they should be treated with greater caution and strictly in accordance with doctor ‘ s guidance or drug instructions.
Pregnant women: Due to their special physical condition, the use of the medicine takes full account of the effects on the foetus and, to the extent possible, under the direction of a doctor.
Attention: Pregnant women must pay close attention to their situation and that of their foetus during their use of medication and, in case of any abnormality, to timely medical treatment.
Older persons: The liver and kidney function of older persons may diminish, the dose of the drug may need to be adjusted as appropriate, and it is also recommended to be administered under the guidance of a doctor.
Attention: As older persons may have multiple underlying diseases and there may be interactions between drugs, special attention should be paid to the observation of physical responses and, if ill, to timely medical treatment.
In short, the use of viral influenza is subject to scientific principles, with strict attention to matters, in order to safeguard physical health while effectively mitigating symptoms and avoid the many risks associated with inappropriate use.
