The main symptoms are named
Doctors warn that it is fundamentally important to be able to distinguish influenza from other acute respiratory viral infections. It’s all about the seriousness of the consequences. If you have a cold, you can get by with drops in the nose and gargling. An actively developing flu can lead to serious consequences.
“The flu has a large number of complications, and it must be treated if you do not get vaccinated,” explained rehabilitation specialist Oksana Tsyshkova.
Often a viral infection is disguised as a mild disease, but it is still possible to recognize the infection.
The first sign is neurotoxicosis, when the central nervous system is affected. The patient suddenly becomes ill. He becomes drowsy and has severe headaches.
Following a deterioration in health, the temperature rises sharply. A runny nose appears, and sputum is released when coughing. The flu can cause photophobia, which is also one of the most important signs that distinguishes it from the common cold.
Doctors warn that you should not ignore feeling unwell during ARVI or self-medicate. This can lead to dangerous complications. First of all, consult a doctor, Channel 5 reports.
We previously reported that today’s flu could be fatal.
