What is Flu, is it different from common cold?

 
 

Who's at risk?

Flu illness is more dangerous than the common cold for children. Each year, millions of children get sick with seasonal flu; thousands of children are hospitalized, and some children die from flu. Children commonly need medical care because of flu, especially children younger than 5 years old.

What are the Possible complications from Flu infection?

  • Pneumonia: an illness where the lungs get infected and inflamed

  • Dehydration: when a child's body loses too much water and salts, often because fluid losses are greater than from fluid intake)

  • Sinus problems and ear infections

  • In rare cases, flu complications can lead to death.

Treatment for Flu;

While getting an influenza (flu) vaccine each year is recommended by CDC as the first and most important action in protecting against flu, there also are drugs that can treat flu illness. These "flu antiviral drugs" are an important treatment option for children with suspected or confirmed flu.
