Influenza
There are many serious diseases in the world. Luckily, most of them can be cured by doctors. Flu is one of the most common and widely spread illnesses. I’m sure all people have experienced it at least once or twice.
As for me, I have had the flu many times and each time I fell ill my mum gave me lots of hot tea with honey and lemon. Whenever it was provided with fever she called the doctor. Speaking about influenza, we should mention that it’s a viral infection. When someone in your surrounding has the flu you should be careful not to catch it. It is usually manifested by fever, strong headache, muscle pain, cough, running nose, sometimes sore throat or earache.
Depending on the level of heaviness it can even turn into pneumonia. In that case hospitalization is necessary. At the moment, there are three basic forms of influenza known in the world: A, B and C. All of them can be treated just by different methods and pills.
One of the best ways to conquer the flu is to stick to bed rest and to drink lots of hot tea. Our district doctor always says, it is better to avoid illness that to treat it. In order not to get the flu, you need to ventilate the room regularly. It will decrease the concentration of viruses in the air. Drinking lots of substances with vitamin C might also help. If anyone in your family gets ill, you should immediately give him or her a separate bowl and a towel. Cover your mouth and nose with a four layer mask. My grandmother says that eating onion and garlic is good during the infection, but my mum finds it too traditional.
In any case, I think that every illness should be treated as soon as it is diagnosed, because if it is neglected it can get worse. Doctors have invented another useful method of avoiding the influenza which is vaccination and many people today stick to it.
