According to the Ministry of Health annually, Vietnam still records from 600,000 - 1,000,000 cases of  influenza, and the number of cases is recorded all year round and tends to increase at the time of summer - autumn, winter - spring (peak is March-April; September-October). The best way to reduce the risk of seasonal influenza and serious complications besides the annual vaccination, build healthy living habits as well as rehydration when fever due to influenza.

1. What is Influenza (seasonal flu)?

Influenza is an acute respiratory infection caused by influenza viruses that circulate in all parts of the world. Symptoms of Influenza include sudden fever, cough (usually dry), headache, muscle and joint pain, fatigue, sore throat, and runny nose. The cough can be severe and last for two weeks or more.

Most people recover from fever and other symptoms within a week without medical attention. However, Influenza can cause severe illness or death, especially among high-risk groups including young children, the elderly, pregnant women, healthcare workers, and people with other existing heavy medical conditions 

2. Build healthy habits to prevent Influenza

In addition to getting vaccinated each year, develop and maintain healthy habits to protect yourself and others from the flu and help stop the spread of bacteria and viruses.

1. Avoid close contact with sick people. When you are sick, keep your distance from others to avoid infecting them

2. If possible, take time off from work, school, and do light work from home when you're sick. This will help avoid infecting others.

3. Cover your mouth and nose when coughing or sneezing. This can prevent people around you from getting sick. The flu virus spreads mainly through droplets when someone with the flu coughs, sneezes, or talks.

4. Please wash your hands. Washing your hands often will help protect you from bacteria (including seasonal flu).

5 Avoid touching your eyes, nose or mouth. The bacteria can be spread when a person touches something contaminated with flu bacteria and then touches his or her eyes, nose, or mouth, which can expose himself or herself to infection.

6. Clean and disinfect frequently touched surfaces at home, work, or school, especially when someone is sick. Get plenty of sleep, exercise regularly, manage stress, drink plenty of water, and eat nutritious food.

3. Rehydration when fever due to Influenza

Daily rehydration is a good habit that not only keeps the body healthy but also helps to prevent dehydration in case of a fever due to seasonal flu.

When you have a sudden fever due to seasonal flu, the body loses a lot of water and ions. If only drinking water is not enough, because the amount of ions is still lacking in the body, leading to an ion imbalance that is dangerous for the patient. Therefore, the patient needs to be compensated with the correct amount of water and ions lost.

Using an ion supply drink Pocari Sweat is an appropriate choice when rehydration is needed or when there is a fever, because Pocari has a similar composition to the amount of water lost from the body (also known as body fluids, including water and other substances. Essential ions such as Na+, Cl–, Ca2+, Mg2+, K+…), help to absorb quickly into the body 2.2 times faster. Pocari is also a healthy and safe drink with 5 ZERO criteria: NO COLOR, NO CHEMICAL SUGAR, NO PRESERVATIVES, NO GAZ, NO CAFFEINE.

Please practice the above habits to protect your health against Influenza!
