Protect yourself from Influenza and other Virus

by Yash S. Consultant

The flu is a respiratory infection that affects many people each year. Anyone can get the virus, which can cause mild to severe symptoms. Symptoms of the flu include fever, body aches, runny nose, coughing, sore throat, and fatigue.

These symptoms typically improve in about a week, with some people fully recovering without complications. But in older adults whose immune systems might be weaker, the flu can be dangerous. The risk of flu-related complications like pneumonia is higher in older adults.

Here’s a look at six practical ways to keep yourself safe this flu season.

1. Avoid large crowds

2. Wash your hands regularly

3. Strengthen your immune system

4. Get an annual flu vaccination

5. Clean and disinfect surfaces

6. Visit the doctor if flu symptoms arise

The flu virus is dangerous in the elderly and can lead to life-threatening complications. Take preventive steps to protect yourself and reduce the risk of illness.

Talk to your doctor about getting a flu vaccination, and be proactive about strengthening your immune system and avoiding contact with sick people.
