One of the major problems people have to face especially during winter is flu, which can reach the proportions of an epidemic. It spreads rapidly, priority in schools and institutions. The majority of people who are generally healthy recover rapidly, without the need of a doctor, but the ones with a precarious health need to see a doctor.

How does it manifest?

Generally, the flu begins with fever, body aches and sneezes Afterwards, appears the sore throat, the skin becomes sensible at a single touch, the eyes hurt, one can feel a dry cough, a state of weakness or headaches. It is also possible that the appetite for food to disappear. The temperature can last between three or five days and, normally, the state of indisposition can persist up to some weeks after the symptoms have spread.

How can we prevent from flu? There are several means of taking care of our health against flu and among these we can mention: eating healthy food, making aerobics every day, taking vitamins, avoid stress, tiredness and crowded places during the flu period, drinking tea, water, fruit juice and fluids without alcohol or cofeina and, finally, eat fresh garlic.

We have to cure the flu seriously because it can lead to severe complications. It is better to stay indoors in order not to spread the viruses and be careful with the medicine which is sold without recipe: this can mask some unpleasant symptoms, making you believe that you’re healthy but in fact you are not cured yet.
One important means in order to prevent flu is the yearly flu vaccine which can diminish the period of the illness and keep you from getting complications. But this is recommended especially to persons over sixty-five years, to those who have chronic diseases of your heart, lungs, or kidneys, those who have diabetes or the people who live in asylums or nursing homes.

Finally, we have to make the difference between a cold and the flu, even if they both produce sore throat, cough and stuffy nose. The best way to distinguish between a cold and the flu is to see the doctor, who will send to the laboratory evidence both from your nose and throat in order to identify the viruses.
