Influenza (or flu) is a disease
characterized by inflammation of
the airways.
It is caused by various types of
influenza virus.
It can lead to serious
complications such as
pneumonia.
Also, it constantly mutates.

The flu is a seasonal
disease.
The highest number of
influenza infections
occurs in the spring and
autumn.
Therefore, recurring flu
epidemics are not a
surprise to people.

4.

The virus is transmitted
through the air.
The sick person is considered
the most contagious in the first
three days.
The usual duration of the flu is
6-7 days.
Immunity is formed slowly.
This may be affected by other
diseases and the age of the
patient.

5.

If there are no complications
and serious symptoms, then
the flu is treated at home.
Drinking plenty of fluids is
recommended to prevent
dehydration.
And also a large amount of
sleep is necessary for the
immune system to
effectively fight infection.

6.

It is very important to remember that it is not necessary to take
antibiotics to treat the flu.
They are useless against the virus.
But if you do not trust home methods of treatment and strengthening
the immune system, and you want to take medicines then consult your
doctor.
Please, do not self-medicate.
