Knowledge of flu prevention in spring 

Director of Guangzhou Fuda Cancer Hospital out-patient department in Haizhu District Zhang Jianhua said: “In spring, with the rise of temperature, everything rouses up from sleeping. The activities of pathogenic microorganisms such as virus, bacteria etc. are vibrant relatively. And the flu incidence rate is up to 5%~15%.”

What are the main symptoms of flu?

Director Zhang said: “The main symptoms of flu including intolerance of cold, cough, sore throat, running nose, headache courbature and arthralgia etc.”

How to judge whether you get flu? 

Director Zhang noticed that if you develop intolerance of cold, fever, headache and exhaustion, perhaps you get flu. Flu is self-limited. And generally, the patients get well on their own in three to five days. But if the symptoms are severe, please go to hospital for seeking doctor and taking medicine accordingly.

He said, there is no certain group of people susceptible to flu. However, children under 12 years old, old man and weak people are easier to get flu. And they are more likely to have complications after getting flu. For example, some patients with low immunity, long-term chronic respiratory diseases or cancer patients after having chemotherapy, they are susceptible to have pneumonia and vital myocarditis etc. It’s very dangerous.
