SWINE FLUE: Not a Monster ..!!!!
Hello friends,
I am writing this , just because ,being doctor I found an extraordinary panic in all of us regarding this so called monster .I just want to make everyone aware of its real picture.
Swine flu is nothing but one of the variant of an ordinary Influenza. The Influenza which is seen at every seasonal change. The mortalities which we are experiencing in this particular illness are just because neglecting the first and foremost signs and symptoms and lack of immunity in the persons.
Every episode of sneezing, cough, cold might not be the swine flu . If we don’t neglect the minor symptoms like these ones, and get them treated on time, then the risk factor is much reduced, and so the mortality rate is. This is where we can actually have an hold on the disease rather than going in to emergencies .
There are few alarming signs of swine flu which we should always consider as an emergency .
- pain in chest
- Difficulty in breathing
- Vertigo, giddiness
- blood in cough, or sputum
- high grade fever
- uncontrolled diarrhea , vomiting
- severe cough, cold etc.
This is time when we should be really take some quick steps , and go for intensive care .
We can also maintain some hygienic precautions , to avoid getting infected. Swine flu is highly infectious especially through air, having contact with an infected person, and dirty hands . so following things are recommended.
- Always use Tissue paper while sneezing or coughing and throw it in a dustbin .
- Wash your hands frequently with disinfectant solutions or soap, and especially if you are constantly dealing with people around .
- Avoid going in crowded and public places as much as possible.
- Use of mask is must if we are in public places , burn the mask after using it rather than just throwing it.
We can also do few things to increase our immunity which is the basic thing in tackling the Swine Flue
- drink plenty of fluids and water
- Have lots of fruits
- do light exercises daily at home
- Pranayama and Yoga is the best thing for immunity
- Have ample amount of sleep ,and avoid stress
Role of Homoeopathy
Homoeopathy has played always a significant role in controlling epidemics like measles, Chikun Gunea , cholera , malaria, plague etc.
Homoeopathy works in 2 ways: first it increases the host immunity (Immunity within us), to combat the illness and secondly it halts the growth of the organisms inside the human body , thus abating the disease.
Homoeopathy works with the principle Like cures like. So all the medicines which are given are always without the side-effects and hazardous after effects.
There are some medicines which can actually build up the immunity and thus help in the prevention of the illness .
For the Swine flu we have many remedies for prevention as well as for the treatment, like
Influenzinum 200
Eupatorium Perfolatum 30
Bromium 200 etc
Though we all are receiving the information through mails and massages about these medicines and their doses, it’s advisable and better to consult a Homoeopath before having it. Because rather than having a blind dose and prescription, which can be partially beneficial, if it is individualized then it will help us better for the development of immunity against swine flu .
So swine flu is a disease and definitely not a monster !
