A strong flu is spreading - Doctors warn citizens

The seasonal flu, frequently observed during the winter months, is noted to have spread more intensely this year compared to previous years. In recent days, there has been an increase in the number of people across the country seeking medical help with symptoms such as weakness, cough, fever, and sore throat.

According to Milli.Az, specialists state that the intensity of respiratory infections is related to high temperature fluctuations, humidity, and people gathering more in enclosed spaces. Doctors particularly recommend that children, the elderly, and individuals suffering from chronic diseases, who are included in the risk group, be cautious.

Health authorities advise those showing flu symptoms to consume warm drinks, wash their hands frequently, and avoid mass gatherings as much as possible. Doctors note that starting treatment at an early stage is important to prevent complications.

At the same time, specialists emphasize the significant role of vaccination in protecting against seasonal flu, recommending that citizens who have not yet been vaccinated should not delay it.

According to doctors, the peak of this year’s flu wave is expected in January and February, so it is important to take preventive measures and pay attention to one’s health condition.
