More detailsFlu-like symptoms resemble those of the flu but are less severe. Fatigue is one of the defining characteristics of flu-like symptoms. Less severe than flu symptoms, flu-like symptoms include headaches, fatigue, moderate fever, a runny nose, and/or a stuffy nose.
Flu-like symptoms are contagious because respiratory viruses spread very easily through droplets released:
That is why, whether you are sick or not, it is important to wash your hands several times a day to prevent the spread of infection. Also, get into the habit of covering your mouth and nose with the crook of your elbow or a disposable tissue when you sneeze or cough.
Fervex is a medication that combines an antihistamine—which helps reduce nasal secretions—with acetaminophen, which has antipyretic and analgesic effects, and vitamin C.
It is used to relieve a runny nose, sneezing, watery eyes, headaches, and fever associated with colds and flu-like symptoms.
Flu-like illness, or influenza-like syndrome, unlike the flu, is not caused by the influenza virus but by a variety of other respiratory viruses that are prevalent from October through the end of winter.
Although it presents symptoms similar to the flu, the flu-like illness is less intense and sudden, often characterized by a general feeling of weakness.
These symptoms can last for several days, so it’s important to take action as soon as the first symptoms appear to prevent complications and the spread of the virus.
Flu-like symptoms are a viral infection, which means they are caused by viruses, not bacteria. Be aware that antibiotics—which fight bacteria—are therefore ineffective in this case!
To relieve flu-like symptoms, we use what’s called symptomatic treatment: the goal is simply to alleviate or even eliminate the symptoms and pain caused by the illness, but it does not target the virus itself.
To relieve pain, acetaminophen is the most commonly used medication. Be sure, however, to use the appropriate dosage. There are also nasal sprays to clear a stuffy nose and lozenges to soothe a sore throat…
An essential step on the road to recovery: rest! Also, remember to drink fluids regularly to keep your body hydrated.
Finally, in addition to traditional medications, you can also turn to alternative and natural therapies such as oligotherapy (the use of trace elements), herbal medicine (the use of plants), and homeopathy.
Sleep helps the immune system function properly and keeps our bodies healthy. Encourage children to get more rest or take a nap.
Two or three times a day, rinse their nose with saline solution or isotonic seawater. Good nasal hygiene helps prevent secondary infections. To clear the noses of children who haven’t yet learned to blow their noses, consider using a nasal aspirator
A fever causes the body to become dehydrated, which leads to fatigue. Drink water or hot beverages such as herbal teas, soups, and broths. Also consider fruit juices rich in vitamins.
Keep the temperature around 18°C. If the air is too hot, it becomes too dry, and the mucous membranes of the respiratory tract become fragile, which weakens local immunity and allows the virus to penetrate the mucous membrane.
