H3N2 Virus: The H3N2 influenza virus is rapidly spreading throughout the country. The patients complain of flu-like symptoms that persist 5 to 7 days. The main cause of the quick spread has been found as an abrupt change in weather from extremely cold to hot. H3N2 influenza symptoms include coughing, fever, chills, nausea, vomiting, sore throat, diarrhoea, runny nose, and constant sneezing. In extreme situations, the patient may have chest discomfort, trouble swallowing, and a persistent fever. The Ministry of Health has issued many suggestions to help you avoid contracting the illness. Let’s have a look at these preventative measures.
Steps to take for prevention
- Keep hand hygiene by routinely washing your hands with soap and water or using hand sanitizer.
- Do not touch your face or nose.
