00:30Welcome Dr. Shah

00:32Thank you very much

00:34Dr. Shah, I would like to know

00:36What is Flu?

00:38What is Influenza?

00:40If we talk about Flu

00:42Flu is a common cold

00:44We call it Flu

00:46But there are different causes of Flu

00:48First we have to see

00:50Is it an Infection or an Allergy?

00:52We have to differentiate these two

00:54If we talk about Infective Flu

00:56We mostly see that

00:58It happens in Winter

01:00Because of different Viruses

01:02Influenza is a type of Virus

01:04Which is a Respiratory Virus

01:06Which is the most common cause of Flu

01:08During Winter Season

01:10But only Influenza is not involved in this

01:12There are other Viruses

01:14Like Respiratory Sensational Virus

01:16Parainfluenza Virus

01:18Or even COVID

01:20Which we call

01:22Respiratory Virus

01:24Which causes Flu

01:26So we cannot call

01:28Influenza and Flu synonymous

01:30One cause of Flu

01:32Is Influenza

01:34Why is it more common in Winter?

01:36There are different reasons

01:38First

01:40When the climate is cold

01:42These Viruses are more common

01:44They have ideal conditions

01:46During Cold Season

01:48Second, in Winter

01:50Our Respiratory Tract

01:52Has an Immune System

01:54Because of Cold

01:56And Decreased Humidity

01:58In the Atmosphere

02:00These two reasons

02:02Make our Immune System weak

02:04So these Viruses are more common

02:06And in Winter

02:08We see that

02:10These Infections are more common

02:12Which age group

02:14Is more affected by Flu?

02:16If we talk about Overall

02:18No age group is immune to Flu

02:20In every age group

02:22But

02:24If we talk about Severity

02:26In Children

02:28Or Adults

02:30Their Immune System is weak

02:32So we see that

02:34In these two groups

02:36Flu or Influenza

02:38Causes more Severity

02:40And the other

02:42Existing Infections

02:44Like Chest Infection

02:46COPD, Asthma

02:48And other

02:50Systems

02:52Like Liver, Kidney, Heart

02:54Or patients who have

02:56Weak Immune System

02:58So we see that

03:00These Viral Infections

03:02Causes more Severity

03:04What are the signs

03:06Of Influenza?

03:08These Viruses

03:10Have

03:12Similar Symptoms

03:14Like Cough, Cold,

03:16Nausea, Cough

03:18Body aches, Headaches

03:20These are common symptoms

03:22And if someone has

03:24Lungs Involvement

03:26They may have

03:28Breathlessness, Chest Pain

03:30These are common symptoms

03:32We see that

03:34People have

03:36Cold, Nausea, Cough

03:38Can these symptoms

03:40Cause Influenza?

03:42First of all

03:44We see that

03:46When a patient

03:48Has Nausea, Cough

03:50He goes to a Chemist

03:52And takes

03:54Unnecessary Antibiotics

03:56Or Cocktail

03:58Antiallergic,

04:00Decongestant, Cough syrup

04:02And that is relatively safe

04:04But he takes

04:06Unnecessary Antibiotics

04:08But if someone has

04:10Nausea, Cough

04:12He should go to

04:14A Chemist

04:16And take

04:18Unnecessary Antibiotics

04:20And that is relatively safe

04:22But if someone has

04:24Nausea, Cough

04:26He should go to

04:28A Chemist

04:30And take

04:32Unnecessary Antibiotics

04:34And that is relatively safe

04:36But if someone has

04:38Nausea, Cough

04:40He should go to

04:42A Chemist

04:44And that is relatively safe

04:46But if someone has

04:48Nausea, Cough

04:50He should go to

04:52A Chemist

04:54And that is relatively safe

04:56But if someone has

04:58Nausea, Cough

05:00He should go to

05:02A Chemist

05:04And that is relatively safe

05:06But if someone has

05:08Nausea, Cough

05:12A Chemist

05:14And that is relatively safe

05:22A Chemist

05:24And that is relatively safe

05:30He should go to

05:32A Chemist

05:34And that is relatively safe
