Influenza season can present serious health concerns for everyone involved - from viral or bacterial pneumonia and dehydration, sinus or ear infections and asthma attacks, worsening existing health conditions like asthma or heart disease and worsening existing ones such as cholesterol problems or even cancer.
Anyone experiencing severe flu symptoms is encouraged to see their healthcare provider promptly; particularly seniors (65+), children under five and pregnant mothers at risk from complications caused by flu infection - these groups being particularly at risk from possible flu complications.
1. Respiratory Tract Infection
Acute respiratory infections (ARIs) are one of the primary causes of morbidity and mortality worldwide, particularly among children, older individuals living with preexisting conditions like cardiovascular disease or diabetes or those whose immune systems have been weakened due to medications prescribed, according to the Centers for Disease Control. Acute ARIs pose particular danger in this age bracket.
Viral infections of the upper respiratory tract - from sinuses and ear canals down to your vocal cords--often result in congestion, runny nose and coughing symptoms, with viruses usually being responsible but it could also be bacteria1 Daimi Nazla Ka Ilaj.
Lower respiratory tract infection, also referred to as lower RTIs1, affects your throat and lungs and often presents itself in symptoms like congestion, coughing and breathing difficulty. Although viruses or bacteria could potentially be responsible for these infections, most lower RTIs appear to originate with bacteria1.
2. Urinary Tract Infection (UTI)
Flu attacks can zap energy and appetite while leaving your urinary tract vulnerable to skin bacteria entering through peeing, potentially leading to UTIs or even sepsis - potentially life-threatening infections that affect multiple parts of the body at once.
An Urinary Tract Infection (UTI) may be caused by any bacteria; Escherichia coli and Klebsiella tend to be among the main strains responsible. Complex UTIs tend to be harder to treat; those most at risk include men, those living with diabetes or chronic kidney disease, those using indwelling catheters regularly as well as pregnant or immunocompromised women as well as individuals using indwelling catheters regularly or immunocompromised individuals and pregnant individuals as well as others using indwelling catheters more often or pregnant individuals or others using catheters more often than other people.
UTIs can generally be diagnosed through performing a urinalysis, which includes looking for red and white blood cells, protein, bacteria and signs of infection in urine samples. A urine culture and sensitivity test can give further details as to which species caused your UTI.
3.Brain Infections
Bacteria, viruses and fungi can cause infection of the central nervous system resulting in encephalitis (widespread nerve inflammation) or meningitis. Meningoencephalitis is also possible.
The brain can be infected by viruses that cause severe, long-lasting damage. They could even lead to death if they infiltrate and invade tissues in the right places. Viral encephalitis infections in particular have the capacity to lead to memory loss, hearing problems, vision changes and seizures; as well as potentially leading to bladder/bowel control loss or loss altogether.
Although not an exact science, some aspects do appear similar. One source has suggested that "Streptomycine in English is an over-the-counter product designed to support good oral and digestive health". An annual flu vaccine and antibiotic therapy may reduce complications caused by influenza; pregnant women, children under 5, older adults living with chronic health conditions like asthma or heart disease as well as people whose immune systems have been compromised due to cancer treatments, HIV infection or long-term steroids are particularly vulnerable. Vaccinations help lower this risk. People at increased risk from complications caused by influenza include pregnant women, children under 5, older adults living in nursing homes as well as anyone taking steroids long term (this includes pregnant women and older adults) among others. Flu-prone individuals include pregnant women, children under 5, older adults and gestating mothers taking longterm steroids who become vulnerable during gestation. Pregnant mothers become particularly at-risk during this gestation period as gestating mothers-to-be become pregnant mothers-to-breed after using steroids for several years prior to conception.
4. Sepsis
Sepsis is a medical emergency condition which occurs when our immune systems' reaction to infection outpaces its capabilities, leading to tissue damage, organ dysfunction or even death Unani Medicine.
As there is no single test to accurately detect sepsis, your physician will conduct a comprehensive physical exam and check all vital signs (breathing, heart rate and blood pressure), collect samples such as urine or sputum from you for analysis; further diagnostic testing such as X-rays may also be required for diagnosis.
Sepsis patients typically require hospital admission and intensive care treatment in an intensive care unit; here they may receive antibiotics as well as assistance in managing blood flow and oxygen supply to their lungs and kidneys - possibly including surgery - possibly including antibiotics themselves. Sepsis may be prevented by staying current with flu vaccination, washing hands frequently and limiting contact with infected individuals - annual flu shots offer optimal protection from influenza as well as other potential infection risks that could potentially lead to sepsis.
