Yes. Influenza refers to a type of disease characterized by fever, sore throat, and cough which occurs after human body is infected with influenza viruses, including type A, B, and C. It is also called epidemic influenza. Influenza is a class B infectious disease as legally defined in our country and has a certain transmissibility among the population. Patients often experience fatigue, loss of appetite, and decreased resistance after contracting influenza. As for eggs, they contain a balanced mix of nutrients, including rich proteins, trace elements, amino acids, and common vitamins, etc. Therefore, it is generally recommended to consume some eggs during influenza to improve the nutritional status and resistance of patients, which is beneficial for their recovery.

What are the symptoms of flu?

Influenza, commonly known as the flu, is an acute respiratory infectious disease caused by the influenza virus. What are the symptoms after contracting the flu? Typically, the onset of influenza is quite sudden, and symptoms such as chills, high fever, headache, dizziness, body aches, and fatigue can appear quickly. Generally, the symptoms in the nasopharyngeal area are relatively mild and prolonged, and may include sore throat, runny nose, tearing, coughing, etc. After contracting the flu, it is important to actively cooperate with medical treatment and also to ensure isolation to prevent infecting others.

Is the flu serious?

Influenza is a contagious disease, mainly caused by the spread of the influenza virus among people. Patients may display symptoms such as sore throat, cough, and fever. The severity of influenza can vary. Typically, for people with normal immunity, influenza goes through a self-limiting process, and generally, patients can recover on their own without treatment in about 7 to 10 days. However, certain special populations, such as the elderly, infants, pregnant women, cancer patients, or those who have been taking immunosuppressive drugs for a long time, often experience prolonged symptoms after contracting influenza. Additionally, influenza can lead to influenza pneumonia, and in severe cases, it may cause myocarditis or meningitis, potentially leading to life-threatening conditions. Therefore, special attention should be paid to these vulnerable groups.

Routes of influenza transmission

Influenza, also known as the flu, is a disease caused by infection of the upper respiratory tract with the influenza virus. It is characterized mainly by sore throat, cough, and fever, and some patients may also experience nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. The primary mode of transmission of influenza is through droplets, which occur when an infected person sneezes or coughs, and their secretions, such as nasal discharge, are inhaled by others. Additionally, the virus can be transmitted through the digestive tract and mucous membranes of the skin. If a healthy person comes into contact with the secretions of an infected person, such as through skin contact or orally, they may also be infected. Therefore, it is crucial to isolate from those infected with the flu.

The incubation period of influenza is how many days?

The incubation period refers to the time from when pathogenic microorganisms invade the human body to when symptoms appear. We call this the incubation period. The duration of the incubation period is related to the patient's resistance and the virulence of the pathogenic microorganisms. Generally speaking, the incubation period for influenza A is usually about 2-4 days, while for other types like influenza B and C, the incubation period can often reach 5-7 days. During the incubation period of influenza, patients often do not exhibit typical flu symptoms such as coughing, sore throat, and fever. The primary manifestations may be general malaise, such as muscle and skeletal pain, loss of appetite, poor digestion, abdominal pain, and diarrhea. Therefore, it is very easy to misdiagnose these symptoms as other diseases during the incubation period.
