Can the influenza virus be killed by high temperature?

Patient's question:

Recently, I've been experiencing chest pain and tightness in my chest. The hospital examination suggested a respiratory disease, but the medication hasn't been very effective. Recently, my cough has worsened. Can the influenza virus be killed by high temperature?

Doctor's answer:

High temperatures can kill most bacteria, and most viruses cannot survive in high temperatures. It is essential to take preventive measures in daily life. The flu is contagious, so there is no need to worry too much. Do not put too much pressure on yourself. Never underestimate the flu, as severe cases can lead to pneumonia. All utensils used at home should be sterilized. Participate actively in physical exercise to regulate physical and mental health, and maintain personal hygiene.
