Are you feeling under the weather and fearing that you might have the “super flu?”

“Super flu” is officially identified as subclade K, a mutated variant of influenza A that causes seasonal flu.

They call it "super flu" because of the ability of this mutated H3N2 (subtype influenza A) to cause more infection or influenza-like illness in most countries.

How is the flu spread?
Mostly via droplets spread by sneezing, coughing, and talking, though it can also be spread via contaminated surfaces, too.

How long are you contagious?
You are usually contagious around 1 day BEFORE symptoms begin and can remain contagious 5-7 days AFTER symptoms start, sometimes longer.

How can you prevent the spread of flu:
👉Washing hands regularly and avoiding touching your face is a huge help.
👉Cough and sneeze into your elbow or a tissue (then discard and wash hands).
👉Avoid crowded areas if you are at high risk, showing symptoms, etc.
👉You can also consider wearing a mask to help prevent droplets from entering the mouth or nose if you want to prevent spread or are at high risk, but it must be worn properly.
👉CDC recommends flu vaccine for all people ages 6 months+, especially for those at high risk.

NOTE: the current vaccine does not perfectly match some of the strains circulating, but it may still help prevent serious complications and is still being recommended.

Symptoms can appear VERY QUICKLY! Expect common flu symptoms such as a persistent fever (38C or higher), severe body aches, fatigue, chills, sore throat, cough, nasal congestion/runny nose, muffled hearing, sore joints, GI upset (nausea, vomiting, stomach cramps, diarrhea), etc.

Treatment & care tips:
👉Rest and drink plenty of fluids such as broths, sports/electrolyte drinks, ice pops, soups, etc.
👉Antivirals may be appropriate for high risk individuals and must generally be administered within 48 hours of symptoms.

When to get help?
Visit your doctor if:
👉You are an elderly, a child, or at high risk (such as immunocompromised or other health problems);
👉Fever persists more than 3-5 days;
👉Or you have concerns or minor complications.

Many people have cough, colds or fever at this time of year. It’s flu season in the Philippines. Swipe to learn what’s happening and how to stay healthy. 👉
