– Understanding Clintons Health Issue: Insights into the Flu Virus

What ‌exactly is the flu?

The​ flu, also known as influenza, is a common respiratory infection caused by influenza viruses that infect the nose, throat, and lungs. People typically get ⁣the flu in the winter months, from ⁤October to May in the Northern Hemisphere. Symptoms of the ​flu can ‍range from mild to severe, and may include ⁤fever, chills, ⁣cough, sore throat, runny nose, muscle aches, ​headaches, and fatigue. The flu‌ can ⁤be ⁤spread through contact with respiratory droplets from an infected person, or by ‍touching surfaces⁤ or objects that have been contaminated with the virus.

How is ⁤the flu treated?

There are two main ways to treat the flu:‌ antiviral medications and ‍supportive care. Antiviral medications are effective in treating and preventing the flu, and ⁤should be started as soon as possible after symptoms begin. Supportive care⁢ includes rest, fluids, and over-the-counter medications to relieve symptoms like fever and congestion. In some cases, hospitalization may be necessary for ​people who are at high risk of complications from the flu, such as⁤ the elderly, young children,⁣ and those with chronic health conditions.
