The number of people affected by the flu is increasing, doctors warn: Be careful, it can last up to 10 days

The flu season is heading toward its peak. Every day, dozens of patients show up at the doors of family doctors or infectious disease specialists seeking help, as the symptoms of viral illnesses have worsened.

Doctors report that flu symptoms are numerous, but the most pronounced has been high fever that does not subside.

Infectious disease specialist Alma Hoxhaj told “Euronews Albania” that this year the flu presents with symptoms such as cough, sore throat, difficulty breathing, and muscle pain. She added that the flu can also appear with diarrhea and vomiting.

Doctors urge people not to underestimate a flu-like condition, as it can lead to complications ranging from mild to severe.

Certain groups are particularly at higher risk of developing severe forms, therefore contact with a doctor should be made from the very beginning.

Following medical advice, bed rest, proper nutrition, and flu vaccination are the best ways to prevent not only hospitalizations but also fatalities caused by the flu.
