Doctors have expressed concern over the increasing cases of H3N2 super flu in many parts of the world.
Although flu usually spreads in winter, this year the virus is spreading again due to irregular weather patterns, weakened immunity, and environmental factors.
According to the World Health Organization, Influenza A H3N2 is increasing in several regions, and a large number of flu-like cases are being reported from many countries, with H3N2 being considered the main cause.
What do doctors say?
Medical experts say that sudden changes in weather affect the body’s immune system and increase the risk of infection. The use of air conditioning during the day and cold temperatures at night affect the respiratory tract, which helps the virus spread.
Key symptoms:
Symptoms of H3N2 flu include high fever, persistent cough, sore throat, body aches, and extreme fatigue. Children, elderly people, and those with chronic illnesses are at higher risk.
Experts’ advice for prevention:
Medical experts recommend getting an annual flu vaccine, wearing masks in crowded places, maintaining hand hygiene, drinking enough water, and immediately consulting a doctor in case of fever or breathing difficulty.
Doctors say that with changing weather conditions, caution and timely awareness are the most effective ways to prevent flu.
