17 thousand 241 people applied to the hospital in 3 months
KOU Research and Application Hospital in the last 3 months 17 thousand 241 people applied due to the symptoms of influenza learned that the disease is the vaccine and treatment of the disease Akhan, “Seasonal infections in particular in respiratory infections, in fact the most common infections during this period. Diseases and influenza in the same way as in the coronavirus are in this group. Both of them are RNA virus and continue to appear every year. Apart from this, many viruses in the society are also factor and some of them do peaks during this period. There is a vaccine of influenza from the existing diseases, and at the beginning, if the vaccination is vaccinated in October, November, this infection is a little lighter and we get over it easier ”.
‘It can watch a little heavier when it comes to vaccinated and late’
Prof. Dr. Dr. Akhan said, “Since November, there has been a little decrease in the vaccine. So we realize that people are not vaccinated. There are risk groups that should be and they need to be vaccinated every year. We realized that most of them were not these vaccines in the outpatient clinic, and at the moment, influenza is the most peak in these viruses. Indeed, it is very common in the hospital and society, and it can be a bit more severe because the treatment is not immediately started because it has been reached and late in this way. If there is an additional disease, it is more heavier, it is growing and its infection in society is increasing. ”
‘In case of these symptoms, you need to go to the hospital and be diagnosed’
Stating that people who do not have vaccine are still not late to be vaccinated. Dr. Akhan said:
“The main point here was to be an influenza vaccine in the first place, but even if they did not have this vaccine, it is still not too late because it is very common in society at the moment. In addition, if there is a finding of a upper respiratory infection such as nausea, vomiting, fever, coughing, all of these are symptoms starting with viral infections, but then when it goes down to the lower respiratory tract, it gets a little higher when the lungs go down.
In case of these symptoms, you need to go to the hospital and be diagnosed. Because the influenza has both vaccination and treatment, and if one person is sick in the house, we also provide preventive treatment for others. In fact, an infection with vaccine and treatment is currently a peak. We need to take precautions for this, and to act a little more carefully and prevent it from coming down to the lungs. Almost all of these viruses actually go with the same symptoms, so it starts in the same way. Nasal discharge, fever, sometimes sore throat, occupancy in sinuses, such as upper respiratory tract symptoms begins. The main point here is that coughing, descending to the lower respiratory tract, and prolongation of fire can be complicated. ”
‘It is useful to take care not to pass influenza in this period’ during this period ‘
Answering the question of which age groups should pay attention to. Dr. Akhan said, “All applies to everyone, but if you have a lung disease, it is more severe to add it to the floor, or if there is already a COPD and so on in the lung, if there is a certain damage, it makes it difficult to heal. If you have an additional disease like diabetes, it makes it difficult to heal again. For this reason, those over 65 years of age, especially in the 2nd or 3rd period of pregnancy, that is, the 6th or 7th months of pregnancy should be vaccinated. In other words, it is useful to take care not to pass influenza of pregnant women in this period ”.
