Dr. Dang Thi Mai Khue, Tam Anh General Hospital answered:
How quickly you recover from influenza A depends largely on how you treat and care for the patient. When you have influenza A, you need to rest so that your body can recover faster.
When you have influenza A, you need to avoid spreading symptoms to others, especially in the first 24 hours of having the flu, by ensuring personal hygiene.
Patients can use over-the-counter pain relievers and fever reducers such as paracetamol. In addition, they can use decongestants, lozenges to treat sore throats, etc.
Drinking plenty of water is key to getting over influenza A quickly.
In addition, it is necessary to supplement a scientific diet with lots of fresh fruits, vegetables and protein-rich foods to fight symptoms of fatigue, lethargy, muscle weakness...
In particular, it is necessary to take the patient to the doctor when there are unusual symptoms such as coughing up blood, suffocation, feeling confused, temporarily losing consciousness...
