    The flu rumor came, how to distinguish? 2019-01-22 10:40:55 Source: Guangming Daily
    Recently, the flu has been high, and there is news on the Internet that the flu virus has mutated and turned to attack the child's brain, and many cases of necrotizing encephalitis have appeared. The news has caused panic among many people, especially families with babies, which are extremely nervous.
    In this regard, Dong Yusong, chief physician of the Department of Respiratory Medicine, Peking University People's Hospital pointed out that in fact, the current influenza virus has not mutated, still attacking the respiratory system, and the proportion of related encephalitis cases has not changed, the flu virus turns The argument against the brain is also inaccurate.
    Dong Songsong said that it is true that the flu is acute and easy to spread, but only some severe cases of influenza can cause serious complications, including not only encephalitis, meningitis, necrotizing encephalopathy, but also heart damage, viral pneumonia, and transverse muscle lines. Dissolved and even kidney failure. Most flu patients are only mild and preventable. Therefore, the public must not believe in rumors and there is no need to panic.
    For the general public, you should learn to distinguish between the flu and the common cold. Dong Yusong pointed out that in general, the flu is often similar to the common cold. The symptoms are sneezing, runny nose, fever, etc., but the symptoms of flu sneezing and runny nose are relatively mild, while fever and systemic symptoms are heavier. If you have a fever, especially if you have a high fever, you should go to a regular medical institution as soon as possible. Especially for high-risk groups, that is, old, young, sick, pregnant and obese people, if you have a fever for two days, you should see a doctor as soon as possible. It is important to emphasize that treating the flu as soon as possible and taking the medicine as soon as possible will have the effect.
    Dong Yusong reminded the public that in the high season of influenza, healthy people should also pay attention to protection and minimize the crowded places. Wearing a mask is very effective in preventing flu. In subways, buses, shopping malls, etc., where there are many people in a relatively closed environment, masks should be worn as much as possible. It should be emphasized that for the prevention of influenza, it is ok to choose an ordinary medical surgical mask, but it is necessary to pay attention to sealing the bridge of the nose. Of course, the N95 mask that can prevent smog is also very effective in preventing flu, but its breathability is poor, so it is not suitable for long-term wear. In addition, people who already have the flu should also wear a mask to avoid infecting others. At the same time, sneezing to cover the nose and mouth, it is best to use a paper towel or handkerchief, or sleeves. If it is covered by hand, you must wash your hands immediately.
