fever, 104 degrees Fahrenheit or more. In day 3 to 5, you will feel a sore throat,
and this is when most people seek for medical attention.
From the day your throat feels uncomfortable, you may feel myalgia or muscle
aches. You may need medication to reduce your body tempereature before it
gets too high. Flu symptoms are not limited to the respiratory tract, you may
have diarrhea or nausea but this is more common among children and those with
weakened immune systems.
As the disease spreads to other parts of your body, Influenza can cause another
condition, its called influenza-associated pneumonia. There are several diseases
which can occur as a complication of Influenza but commonly, you only develop
pneumonia if you dont take Influenza seriously. Actually, Pneumonia is the most
common infection to cause hospitalisation in the United States. Pneumonia is an
inflammation of your Lungs. Penumonia is an infection that can make you very
sick and even kill. Influenza-associated pneumonia develops after you breathe
the virus and germs into your lungs. When it reaches the lung, your bodies
immune system will try protecting you by activating the inflammation process.
The virus may start this process, and then other germs or fungal infections could
take hold and make the infection worse. The infection starts in the air sacs of one
or both lungs. Pneumonia can range in seriousness from a mild to a life
threatening condition. Again, it is most serious in infants and young children,
older people and people with underlying diseases, like Diabetes, Asthma, AIDS,
Autoimmune, etc.
You may start thinking about Pneumonia when you have had Flu for more than a
month. There are several factors that make you more susceptible to pneumonia.
Pneumonia is more likely occur when your immune system is weak, the
microorganism is very strong or the infection enters your lung in large amounts,
and your body fails to filter it and then you breathe it into your lungs. You may
have Pneumonia, if you cough frequently, run a fever, and have dificulty
breathing. Most healthy people will be able to recover from this condition in one
to three weeks. However, if you have a serious case of pneumonia then it can
lead to a life-threatening condition; you need to see your doctor immediately.
diagnosis of pneumonia may involve a Chest X-Ray, Blood test, Septum test and
Bronchoscopy.
There are numberous difficulties in the treatment and prevention of influenza,
contributing to the constant threat of the Flu Virus; Rapid mutability, genomic
reassortment and vulnerable population groups. The good news, scientists have
developed a vaccine to protect against the Flu Virus. Although its expensive, you
may need to consider buying it before you take a trip to Asia or the Middle East.
