BEAT THE FLU WITH NZOZ YOUR DOCTOR!
1 October 2019
Every year, between 330 million and over 1.5 billion people worldwide fall ill with infections caused by influenza viruses. For most of them, despite acute symptoms, including high fever, the disease ends after about 7 days without major consequences. However, according to the World Health Organization, influenza viruses cause between 500 thousand and one million deaths worldwide every year. They also cause serious complications, such as: pneumonia and bronchitis, otitis media, or inflammation of the heart muscle and pericardium.
Doctors emphasize that vaccination is the most effective way to prevent infections and complications caused by influenza viruses.
In Poland, several hundred thousand to several million cases of flu are registered each year. There is still time to avoid it this time. According to specialists, vaccination against flu should be done every year, preferably at the turn of September and October. The time needed to develop immunity does not exceed 3 weeks. Flu most often attacks in winter - the peak incidence is recorded from January to March.
Many patients seek medical attention only when disturbing symptoms appear. However, some illnesses develop painlessly and without any obvious warning signs. This is why the nationwide program "My Health" was created, which allows adults to assess their health and detect risk factors at an early stage.
In this episode of WHAT YOUR DOCTOR SAYS, Dariusz Litera talks with Dr. Sebastian Floryn, an ophthalmology specialist, about symptoms that shouldn't be ignored. The expert explains when you should urgently seek medical attention, why time matters in some cases, and what systemic diseases can manifest through eye symptoms.
