Elderly people suffering from fever are waiting to approach doctors and buy tablets. Similarly, private hospitals and clinics are overflowing with people. Parents with children are waiting until midnight to get treatment.

A crowd of patients can be seen waiting at private doctors and pediatricians in every area. Regarding this, Stanley Government Hospital Public Health Doctor Chandrashekar said: – Flu virus fever heals on its own in 95 percent of cases without medication. Currently, children are more affected than adults. This virus is more likely to come during the rainy-cold season. People with co-morbidities have severe effects such as body aches, cough, and headaches. Flu virus is contagious due to low immunity.

If there is severe fatigue even after taking fever tablets including ‘Paracetamol’, it is advisable to do an examination such as an X-ray. Children suffering from fever should be isolated. Wearing a mask, collecting and disposing of mucus in plastic bags without spitting in places where it is found, and covering the face with fingers when coughing to prevent it from spreading to others should be followed. To protect children from the flu, vaccination should be given every year. If adults also get vaccinated, the flu will not occur. Even if it does, the severity will be reduced. People with wheezing and asthma are 95 percent safe if they get vaccinated. People with heart disease can also get vaccinated. This fever will recover in 3 to 5 days.
