H3N2 Flu Treatment: The H3N2 strain of influenza A is spreading rapidly in Delhi-NCR. A recent survey revealed that seven out of ten families have someone affected by this flu. While the virus appears similar to a common cold, its symptoms last longer and have a more severe impact on the body. This time, the virus is spreading more rapidly and is more severe than in previous years.

What are the symptoms of the H3N2 virus?

The symptoms of H3N2 are similar to those of the common cold, but their effects are more severe and last longer. If you experience a high fever, chills, sore throat, persistent cough, headache, body aches, or extreme fatigue, be cautious. Additionally, children are experiencing stomach problems like vomiting or diarrhea. Some people may also experience more serious problems like breathing difficulties, bronchitis, or pneumonia. This virus can be especially dangerous for children, the elderly, pregnant women, and those with pre-existing medical conditions.

How dangerous is this virus?

According to doctors, this year's H3N2 outbreak is more severe than in previous years. Fever lasts for several days, coughs, and sore throats don't resolve quickly, and weakness and fatigue persist for a long time. Some patients are also experiencing breathing difficulties or pneumonia. Doctors say that early detection of this virus is crucial, as it spreads rapidly. 

What does the doctor say?

Dr. Sameer Kalra of Delhi's Sir Ganga Ram Hospital says that as soon as you notice flu-like symptoms, contact a doctor immediately. Self-medication or the use of antibiotics can be harmful. He explains that ignoring symptoms can worsen the virus. Timely treatment and precautions will not only keep you healthy but also prevent the virus from spreading to others.
