Proper hygiene and strong immune system can fight flu
MANILA, Philippines – Modern science is challenged by a new strain of influenza virus.
The Influenza A H1N1 strain is the virus behind the Spanish flu outbreak. Spreading like wildfire, it killed an estimated 20 to 100 million people worldwide back in 1918. The severity of its symptoms and unusual dengue and cholera-like complications made it “the greatest medical holocaust in history.”
Swine flu virus (SIV) otherwise known as Influenza A H1N1, just like other influenza strains, is passed on through the inhalation of aerosols or pockets of flu-infected moisture.
Experts have stressed that frequent hand washing from the fingers up to the wrist can prevent viral infections like flu, especially after exposure in crowded places. Alcohol-based hand sanitizers are also handy in the absence of a washing area.
Wearing a face mask can also protect a person from inhaling virus-infected aerosols. Avoid going near a flu patient. A kiss, handshake or sharing utensils while eating can lead to contamination. If infected with flu, cover your nose and mouth with a tissue when you sneeze or cough. Dispose of the soiled tissue properly.
Keep homes and work places well-ventilated and clean. Putting plants inside the house or on your office desk can give a fresh supply of oxygen.
Watch out for deadly symptoms like high fever, headaches, fatigue with body pains, sore throat, dry cough, and runny or stuffy nose. Should any of these signs appear, seek immediate medical attention.
Doctors can administer flu booster shots, but for those who do not wish to have injections, a drug called Methisoprinol is prescribed to enhance the body’s natural defense against viral infections. Equipped with immunopotentiator, it easily restores impaired cells and increases antibody levels. A well-functioning immune system can easily ward off any disease-causing virus like the Influenza A virus. Consult your doctor to know more about an immune-boosting drug Methisoprinol.
Methisoprinol is marketed by New Marketlink Pharmaceuticals Corporation (NMPC), also known for its diverse line of quality pharmaceutical and healthcare products.
