Published
Specialists have explained how to protect yourself from the new swine flu strain. Information about it appeared in a publication by Zdorovye Mail. The material does not provide details about the spread of the virus or the number of cases, so it is important to follow official reports.
Flu is a viral infection that is transmitted by airborne droplets, for example, when coughing, sneezing or talking. Therefore, the main protective measure is vaccination. A seasonal flu shot helps reduce the risk of serious complications, especially in children, elderly people and those with chronic diseases.
In addition to vaccination, doctors advise following simple hygiene rules. It is necessary to wash your hands often with soap, especially after being outdoors and using public transport. It is also useful to air out rooms and avoid close contact with people who have signs of a cold or a temperature. In places with large crowds, you can wear a medical mask.
If the first symptoms appear, such as a high temperature, headache, muscle aches and severe weakness, it is best to stay at home and call a doctor. Self-medication can be dangerous, so it is important to follow the specialist's recommendations. Timely medical consultation helps you recover faster and avoid infecting other people.
