Patient's question:
Recently, I've been experiencing chest pain and tightness in my chest. The hospital examination indicated a respiratory disease, but the medication hasn't been very effective. Recently, my cough has worsened. How can I prevent influenza?Doctor's answer:
Now, winter and spring are peak seasons for the influenza A virus. Currently, it has already started to spread on a large scale nationwide. Generally, during the first one to three months of the flu season, influenza vaccines can be administered via intramuscular injection to children and adults to ensure that patients and susceptible populations reduce their immune response to the flu. At the same time, it is important to maintain unobstructed airways, try to avoid catching colds, and avoid consuming spicy and irritating foods. It is recommended to eat more fruits and vegetables regularly.
