Influenza (abbreviated influenza) is an acute respiratory epidemic caused by influenza viruses and is characterized by a high rate of transmission and rapid transmission, which can trigger epidemics. Influenza can lead to clinical manifestations ranging from mild to severe, with serious complications and even life-threatening risks. This paper will elaborate on both influenza prevention and treatment.
I. Influenza prevention
Influenza prevention is key to controlling its spread and reducing its incidence. The following are the main preventive measures:
(i) Immunization
1. Inoculation against influenza:
Influenza vaccine is the most effective means of preventing influenza. An annual influenza vaccine can significantly reduce the risk of infection and reduce the incidence of serious diseases and complications.
Influenza vaccine applies to all groups over six months old, especially those at high risk, such as the elderly, children, pregnant women, chronically ill persons and medical personnel.
2. Vaccination time:
Influenza vaccine is usually administered before the flu season (Autumn Winter Festival) in order to establish immunization protection before a high influenza onset.
(ii) Personal protection
Maintain good hygiene practices:
Hand-washing: Washing hands with soap and mobile water, especially after coughing, sneezing or exposure to public goods.
Cough protocol: Cover your nose and nose with paper towels or elbows during cough or sneezing to avoid the spread of foam.
2. Mask:
The risk of transmission of the virus is reduced by wearing masks during the high-prevalence flu season or at densely populated sites.
3. Avoiding exposure to infected persons:
Close contact with flu patients is avoided, especially during the flu pandemic.
(iii) Increased immunity
1. Healthy lifestyle:
Maintain a balanced diet with sufficient intake of vitamins and minerals.
Regularity ensures adequate sleep and avoids overwork.
Motivation to improve body and immunity.
2. Prohibition of alcohol and tobacco:
Smoking and overdrinking reduce respiratory defences and increase the risk of infection.
(iv) Sanitation
Maintenance of indoor ventilation:
Regular window ventilation, air flow, and reduction of indoor transmission of the virus.
Clean cleaning:
Regular cleaning and disinfection of high-frequency contact items and surfaces, such as doorknobs, desktops, mobile phones, etc.
II. Treatment of influenza
Treatment of influenza should take different measures depending on the severity of the condition, including, inter alia, treatment of the disease and antiretroviral treatment.
(i) General treatment
1. Rest and rehydration:
Patients should rest in bed to avoid overwork.
Drinking water, water balance in the body, and promotion of metabolic and toxin discharge.
2. Catering:
Food that is digestive and nutritious, such as porridge and soup, increases the resistance of the body.
(ii) Treatment
1. Reheating pain:
For symptoms such as fever, headaches and muscular acid problems, acetaminophenol or desiccative painkillers such as brofen may be used.
Avoiding the use of aspirin for the treatment of children ‘ s influenza in order to prevent a Swiss syndrome.
2. Mitigation of cough and nose plugs:
In the case of severe cough, the accelerant can be used (e.g. right-meal savannah).
Nostrils can be sprayed with physico-saline or short-term blood reduction agents (e.g. pseudoephedrine).
(iii) Antiviral treatment
Adaptation:
Antiviral drugs apply to patients diagnosed with influenza, especially those at high risk (e.g., the elderly, pregnant women, chronically ill persons) or seriously ill.
Antiviral treatment should begin as soon as possible, preferably within 48 hours of the onset of the disease, to improve its effectiveness.
2. Common drugs:
Neuro-aminosterase inhibitors: e.g. Ostawe (oral); Zanamwe (inhalation).
Polysynthesis inhibitors: e.g. Paramivie (intravenous) or Balochavie (single oral).
(iv) Treatment of persons with severe illnesses
1. Hospitalization:
Patients with serious complications (such as pneumonia, acute respiratory distress syndrome) should be hospitalized in a timely manner.
2. Oxygen therapy and support treatment:
Oxygen therapy or mechanical ventilation support is provided for patients with low oxygen haematosis.
Nutritional support and liquid management where necessary.
(v) Medical treatment in Chinese
1. Chinese medicine:
Influenza symptoms can be alleviated by a combination of pail capsules, gold porcelain particles, venom capsules, etc.
2. Evidence treatment:
Based on the patient ‘ s specific symptoms, Chinese medical treatment methods such as pyrolysis and wind-dispersion are used.
III. Complications of influenza and its treatment
Influenza can cause multiple complications, especially among older persons, children and those with low immunization capacity. Common complications include:
1. Pneumonia: caused by influenza viruses or secondary bacterial infections.
2. Cardiomyitis: Symptoms such as chest pain and heart attack.
3. Central ear disease: most of them are found in children, in the form of ear pains and reduced hearing.
4. Neural system complications: e.g. meningitis, meningitis.
Patients with complications should be provided with timely medical treatment and targeted treatment.
Concluding remarks
Influenza is a common but potentially serious epidemic that requires a comprehensive approach to its prevention and treatment. The risk of influenza infection can be effectively reduced through vaccinations, good hygiene practices and increased immunity. Early antiviral treatment and treatment of illnesses are key to the identification of patients. Focusing on influenza prevention and treatment will not only help to protect personal health, but also help reduce the spread of influenza and the social burden.
