The flu epidemic is now!
France is in the red for the flu , whose activity has exceeded the epidemic threshold in the first week of January. Others who made the approach to be vaccinated may rejoice and be protected against the flu virus . Now it is too late to recommend vaccination (it takes a period of two weeks between the injection of vaccine and immunization against the flu ), what can we advise people not vaccinated to guard against the flu? Two things.
1) Limiting the spread of viruses by not kissing and giving a handshake to anyone cold. But also, any person with the flu should wear a mask over his face (surgical type mask found in pharmacies).
2) Use the Tamiflu ® as soon as possible after the first symptoms of the flu .Why should we take it so quickly? Because its effectiveness depends on it. TheTamiflu ® is an antiviral very effective if taken within 12 hours of onset of symptoms. In this case, the symptoms usually disappear in the day. If one waits 24 hours, the intensity and duration of symptoms of influenza are attenuated influenza ending more often the next day. Then, the longer we wait, the greater the efficiency decreases again to vanish past 48 hours.
What do you recognize the symptoms of flu?
The question now is whether to recognize the symptoms of flu . It's very simple, as is the brutality of appearance and strength of symptoms that are the peculiarities of the flu versus a cold for example. Flu actually nailed to the bed, sometimes within hours.
Common to other viral infections winter fatigue, malaise, fever, muscle aches and cough, occur very suddenly so intense when it comes to flu.
Who Tamiflu ®?
The Tamiflu ® is recommended for people suffering from the flu (at the very first symptoms ), but also to members of their entourage, prevention, because they have high risk of being affected too.
Prudence, the vaccine is not 100% effective, it happens that those vaccinated are still suffering from the flu . They can then also benefit from Tamiflu ® .
