Influenza vaccination time

Influenza vaccines are primarily used to prevent epidemic influenza. Currently, there are three types of influenza vaccines in our country: Type A, Type B, and Type C. The best time to vaccinate for influenza is in September and October, because epidemic influenza often outbreaks in winter and spring. Therefore, getting vaccinated during these months can greatly prevent the transmission of epidemic influenza. The main groups recommended for influenza vaccination include preschool children and the elderly or frail, such as those with chronic diseases. Those with chronic conditions are at high risk of exacerbating their diseases after contracting epidemic influenza. These groups are particularly suitable for influenza vaccination. During the influenza vaccination period and before getting vaccinated, it is important to ensure that one is not having a cold, including symptoms like fever, to proceed with the vaccination.

What are the symptoms of pharyngitis and influenza?

Pharyngitis influenza mainly involves inflammation of the mucosa or submucosal tissues of the pharynx, generally affecting the lymphatic tissue of the throat, primarily caused by viral or bacterial infections. Clinically, symptoms include dryness and a burning sensation in the throat, a rough feeling, and during severe cases, swallowing pain that may even radiate to the ear. If accompanied by systemic symptoms, such as acute inflammation, the symptoms may vary depending on age, immunity, and the virulence of the virus or bacteria.

What should I do if the flu recurs with fever?

Influenza, also known as the flu, refers to a disease characterized primarily by sore throat, cough, and fever, caused by an influenza virus infection of the upper respiratory tract during the flu season. Due to the repeated replication of the influenza virus after entering the human body, it triggers an immune response between the person and the virus, thus causing repeated fevers. However, for a person with normal immunity, the flu can improve on its own, usually over 7 to 10 days. During these 7 to 10 days, if the fever recurs, it can be managed with some antipyretic medicines. Both traditional Chinese medicine and Western medicine have relevant drugs. After the fever subsides, the flu can usually heal on its own within about 3 to 5 days. (Please use medication under the guidance of a doctor.)

What fruits can people with edema eat?

Influenza refers to a group of diseases that occur when the respiratory system of the human body is infected by the influenza virus, primarily characterized by coughing, sore throat, and fever. However, besides causing respiratory symptoms, the influenza virus can also cause gastrointestinal symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea, and can also lead to a decrease in appetite. Fruits, due to their abundant fluid content and rich vitamins and minerals, are particularly suitable for consumption during influenza when appetite is reduced. It is generally recommended that patients eat some fruits that clear heat, reduce fire, and nourish the yin, such as pears, tangerines, lotus roots, sugarcane, and water chestnuts. These fruits can effectively treat influenza and also supplement the needed nutrients.
