The difference between flu and common flu.
Influenza and common influenza are two common respiratory diseases, and although their symptoms are similar in some respects, there are significant differences in pathogens, infectiousness, onset seasons, symptoms performance, pathology and treatment measures.
I. DISAPPEARANCES
• Influenza: Influenza is caused by specific influenza viruses, mainly influenza A, B and C, of which influenza A and B are more common and prone to variability, leading to a pandemic of influenza.
• Common influenza: common flu is an upper respiratory infection caused by a variety of viruses, and common pathogens include nose viruses, coronal viruses, sub-influenza viruses, respiratory combination viruses, etc. These viruses are widespread in the population and are less mutated, so that common colds usually do not cause large-scale epidemics.
II. Infectious differences
• Influenza: Influenza is extremely contagious and can be transmitted rapidly to the population in a variety of ways, including through foaming and exposure. During the high-prevalence season, high-population locations, such as schools and nursing homes, are prone to influenza outbreaks.
• Common influenza: In contrast, common flu is less contagious. While it can also be transmitted through foaming and exposure, it is generally not as widespread as influenza.
III. Different seasons
• Influenza: Influenza is mainly prevalent during the winter and spring holidays, which is related to conditions for the survival and spread of influenza viruses. In cold, dry environments, influenza viruses are more likely to survive and spread.
• Common influenza: common flu can occur four seasons without a clear seasonal feature. However, the incidence of common influenza is likely to increase in situations of high temperature variability and population density.
IV. Differing symptoms
Influenza symptoms are usually more severe, including high heat (up to 39°C), headaches, whole body acidic pain, inactivity, coughing, ache, nose plugs, aldicarb, etc. Some patients may also experience digestive symptoms such as nausea, vomiting and diarrhoea. The overall symptoms of influenza patients are generally more evident than respiratory symptoms.
Common flu: The symptoms of common flu are relatively light, mainly in the form of respiratory symptoms such as nose plugs, flue aldicarb, cough and sores. Some of the patients may also suffer from whole-body symptoms such as low heat, headaches and incapacitation, but usually less severe than flu. Common flu is usually shorter and can be mitigated on its own within one to three days.
V. Differing pathology
• Influenza: Influenza is usually long and generally takes three days to recover. Some patients may also have complications, such as pneumonia, myocarditis, etc., leading to further lengthening.
• Common flu: common flu is usually shorter in duration and can normally be mitigated by itself within one to three days. Even when complications occur, they are usually minor and do not seriously affect patients.
VI. Differing treatment
• Influenza: Influenza treatment requires anti-viral treatment of influenza viruses, with common drugs including Ostawe, Zanamwe, etc. At the same time, general treatment measures such as rest, water and indoor air flow are also required for flu patients. Patients with complications also need to be treated with appropriate treatment and support.
• Common flu: treatment for common flu is relatively simple and usually does not require antiretroviral treatment. Patients can mitigate symptoms by general treatment measures such as rest, drinking water and keeping indoor air flow. For patients with more severe symptoms, a number of treatments such as antithermal painkillers and cough pills can be used to alleviate the symptoms.
As a result, there are significant differences between influenza and common influenza in pathogens, infectiousness, onset seasons, symptoms, pathology and treatment measures. Therefore, different strategies and measures are needed to prevent and treat both diseases. Antiviral treatment should be provided as soon as possible for flu patients and care should be taken to prevent complications; in the case of common influenza patients, symptoms can be mitigated through general treatment and care can be taken to observe changes in conditions. At the same time, measures such as maintaining good hygiene practices, enhancing exercise and increasing immunity also help to prevent both diseases.
