Patient's question:
Doctor, my son is 15 years old and often catches colds. He has recently contracted influenza, sneezing and coughing every day, which makes me feel heartbroken. Doctor, what is the pathogen of influenza? How should I prevent exposure to it in daily life?Doctor's answer:
Influenza is caused by a viral infection and is somewhat related to regular exposure to cold, fatigue, and other infections. It is a highly contagious disease. It is recommended to frequently and quickly open indoor windows for ventilation, avoid public places and crowded areas, and exercise regularly to enhance your resistance. It is advisable to strengthen physical exercise, eat more fruits and vegetables, and enhance the body's resistance to prevent colds. During cold-prone seasons, try to minimize visits to public places.
