H3N2 Virus can bother people with weak immunity, this is how to protect

H3N2 Virus: Influenza is also an infectious disease like Kovid, which spreads from one person to another. If a person has cough, cold, sore throat, headache and mild fever, then these are symptoms of influenza.

H3N2 Virus: With the change in weather, cases of influenza (flu) are increasing across the country. This time the subtype H3N2 virus of influenza has become very active. Its cases are being received from Delhi NCR to Karnataka, although serious cases are not being reported due to this, but doctors say that there is a need to protect those with weak immunity from H3N2. It is necessary for such people to wear masks and avoid going to crowded areas.

According to Dr. Rajat Kumar of the Department of Medicine at Safdarjung Hospital in Delhi, there are four types of influenza virus. These include A, B, C and D. H3N2 is a subtype of type A of influenza, which is spreading widely this time. This is not a new virus. This virus of influenza was also spread in America many decades ago. In India too, its cases come every year during the change of season, but this time it is spreading more. The main reason for this is that during the three years of Kovid, people had used a lot of cleanliness and masks, due to which there was a lot of protection from many viruses and infectious diseases, but for the last few months people have become careless. Since this is also the season for the spread of flu, due to negligence, this virus is infecting people.

Harms those with weak immunity

The virus of influenza also enters the lungs through the nose and throat, people who have weak lungs or have already complained of pneumonia, should be protected from flu. Apart from this, people who already have a serious illness should also take care of their health. The immunity of such people becomes weak, due to which the flu can persist for several days.

Contagious like covid

Influenza is also an infectious disease like Kovid, which spreads from one person to another. If a person has cough, cold, sore throat, headache and mild fever, then it is a symptom of influenza.
