Swine flu infection spread in Delhi-NCR, about 500 people in grief; Death of many

Doctors say that swine flu viruses spread through coughing, sneezing, hand joining, etc. Therefore, avoid being left unnecessarily in the crowded areas for rescue.
New Delhi, JNN Swine flu (H1N1) infection in Delhi NCR is increasing rapidly. In Delhi, 440 cases of swine flu have been confirmed this month. Directorate General of Delhi's Health Services has instructed to send daily reports to the hospitals. Doctors say that despite the increase in swine flu infection, there is no need to panic. Show the doctor immediately after the fever and colds occur.

BJP president Amit Shah was hit by swine flu

Bhartiya Janta Party (BJP) president Amit Shah had also come in the grip of swine flu in the past. Amit Shah was admitted to Delhi-based All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS), where he got treatment.

Dr. Nutan Mundeja, Director General of Delhi said that the patient does not have much trouble if the treatment of swine flu is done in the beginning. Trouble can delay the treatment. Every fever is not swine flu. In the winter season, cases of common flu are seen every year. Hospitals have been instructed to recruit patients suffering from swine flu in isolation ward. N-95 masks have been provided to the employees in hospitals.

Nine patient deaths in two hospitals

The National Disease Control Center had confirmed 168 cases of swine flu by January 13 in Delhi. This number has increased to 440. In Delhi, two major hospitals have also reported cases of death of nine patients this month from swine flu. In RML hospital alone, so far six patients suffering from this disease have died. All of them were from Delhi. Four of them were men and two women. Apart from this, three patients have died in Safdarjung Hospital.

These three were residents of different cities of NCR. However, the Directorate has denied the death of a patient due to swine flu in Delhi.

In cold weather, cases of cold cough and flu are often exposed. Doctors say that swine flu viruses spread through coughing, sneezing, hand joining, etc. Therefore, avoid being left unnecessarily in the crowded areas for rescue. If necessary, wear a mask and go to the market and the metro.

Dr Tanuja Nassari, director of the All India Institute of Ayurveda (AIIA), said that there is an effective treatment of swine flu in Ayurveda also. By adopting Ayurvedic and home remedies, sore throat and pulmonary infection can be avoided. Dr. Nutan Mundeja, Director General, Health Directorate of Delhi, said that the risk of disease, diabetes, blood pressure, patients suffering from chronic diseases of chronic diseases, elderly, children and pregnant women are more.

Flu vaccine also available

Vaccination is also available for flu prevention. Prior to winter, the elderly should take this vaccine every year. Doctors say that the swine flu infection has spread now. Therefore vaccination will not be of special benefit, since it takes time to develop immunity in the body after getting vaccine.

Two patients of Swine Flu

On Monday, there were two swine flu patients. The number of swine flu patients has increased to 28 in the district. Whereas 28 patients have been found who are from other cities and were coming for treatment in Gurujram. Civil surgeon Dr. BK Rajaura said that samples of patients were sent to the National Center for Disease Control and both the patients were taking treatment at the private hospital.
