Everywhere you look, you can see friends and relatives talking about fever, body aches, and sore throat. sivaganga Government Public health doctor farooq abdullah has given detailed information about the symptoms of the H3N2 virus and how to prevent it. ICMR has announced that the H3N2 strain of the Influenza A virus is currently spreading in our country.

What are the symptoms?


* High fever (over 101 degrees Fahrenheit)

* throat pain

* Unrelenting dry cough

* Nausea/vomiting

* Body aches/fatigue

* Headaches are symptoms of H3N2 virus infection

According to ICMR studies, this infection is more likely to occur in people with weakened immune systems, especially children, the elderly, and people with co-morbidities.
Danger signs:

With the above symptoms, suffocation, difficulty in breathing, severe fever that does not go away, pain in the chest area, being shriveled to the extent that you cannot eat anything, dizziness, convulsions, etc. are dangerous symptoms and you should immediately go to the doctor for treatment.

What to do?

* Patients should monitor oxygen levels with a finger pulse oximeter.

* If Spo2 falls below 95%, seek medical attention immediately without delay.

* If SPO2 falls below 90% oxygen and intensive care are required.

* Self-medication is dangerous.

* Wasting precious time self-medicating is a mistake.

* Children and the elderly should see a doctor for treatment as soon as fever and cough appear.
What to do in the next few weeks?

* Elderly people, whose immune systems are generally weak, should avoid taking children outdoors in crowded places unless essential

* It is better to postpone non-essential travel

* The best practice to prevent the spread of infection is for everyone to wear face coverings in public and crowded places.

* A person who is infected and has a fever can prevent the spread of the infection if he isolates himself at home only when the fever is cured.

* Wash hands frequently with soap.

* Do not spit in public places.

* Antibiotics are not required.

We have antiviral drugs that work against the H3N2 virus, especially oseltamivir. However, antiviral drugs are sufficient only for those who are seriously ill. people with a normal infection do not need an anti-swine flu vaccine. As it is a viral infection, prescribing antibiotics to kill bacteria is not effective, advises the indian Medical Association.
How to recover from infection?

* Paracetamol should be taken regularly to reduce fever.

* It is necessary to visit the doctor and take the medicines prescribed by him.

* Exfoliation of the whole body with cold water

* Consuming water-rich foods

* Factors like good rest will help you recover from this infection.

Children and elderly people with co-morbidities should immediately take action and be treated in a hospital if dangerous symptoms appear in infectious symptoms. It is an infection that passes off as a normal, seasonal flu for the majority. There is no need to worry much about this flu. However, caution is required. sivaganga Government Public health doctor farooq abdullah said this.
