Veterinarians are working hard to stop coronaviruses from killing people.
And while they may have a few tricks up their sleeves, they’re not alone.
Here are the top tips to protect yourself from the coronax.
1.
Know your symptoms When it comes to getting the flu, the key to getting a good flu shot is knowing what’s happening to you.
A coronaviral infection in the bloodstream can cause severe respiratory symptoms, including fever, cough, shortness of breath, sore throat and runny nose.
Some of these symptoms can be worse than others, depending on the severity of your illness.
You might have trouble breathing, cough more than usual, or have trouble swallowing.
So, make sure you get tested and get the right vaccine.
The CDC has published guidelines for getting the right dose for your symptoms.
2.
Stay hydrated If you have mild symptoms, such as runny or mild eyes or nose, stay hydrated.
And if you feel sick and have to be hospitalized, keep fluids and snacks in your home.
Your symptoms will go away over time, so keep them in check and keep the flu in check.
3.
Get tested if you think you’re infected With flu shots, you get a test for the virus every three to five weeks.
If you get an infection, you’re likely to get more flu shots over time.
If your symptoms go away, and you still get a shot, you may need to be tested again.
If that happens, get a new shot.
You’ll need to keep your flu shot up-to-date, and there are several tests available to help you determine if you’re a good candidate for a new flu shot.
4.
Stay home if you have symptoms if you stay at home If you’re experiencing any of the following symptoms: fever, chest pain, soreness, nausea, vomiting, cough and/or a sore throat, stay home: stay home until you have a good fever and have a temperature of 94 degrees F. The flu can spread from one person to another.
If symptoms persist, get tested.
5.
Stay at home if your symptoms persist If you experience any of these signs and symptoms, stay at your home or other place of residence: dizziness, short-term memory loss, loss of balance or coordination, blurred vision, or trouble swallowing (tremors, short stings, or other types of flu-like symptoms).
6.
Stay away from close family members If you or a close family member have symptoms that appear to be related to the coronacids or coronaviremia, seek medical help right away.
If these symptoms persist or worsen, you should stay away from family members or people who are close to you and get tested for coronavillosis.
7.
Monitor for symptoms if symptoms worsen The first sign of a worsening flu outbreak is an increase in your symptoms or signs.
You may notice that your fever, coughing, sore, tiredness, muscle aches, short or long stings or other symptoms are increasing or that you have more of them.
But there’s more to the flu than just flu.
A flu-associated pneumonia (CA) is a pneumonia caused by the coronovirus, but not by other infections.
This can occur in some people if they have been vaccinated and have an infection.
If it happens, it’s usually very rare.
8.
Monitor if you develop symptoms If you develop flu-related symptoms or have any other signs or symptoms, get checked for symptoms, and see your doctor if you need to. 9.
Be cautious if you get sick If you’ve had any of those symptoms listed above, stay away and avoid close contact with people you know or have worked with before.
If a person you know develops flu-type symptoms, you’ll need a doctor’s note and/ or test results.
If they test positive, you could have more than one infection that’s causing the illness.
10.
Know the signs and signs of pneumonia When you have flu symptoms, your doctor may ask you questions about your flu-specific symptoms and symptoms.
This will help them figure out how to treat you.
If the doctor has some information on how to diagnose pneumonia, they’ll give you the right medications to help treat the pneumonia.
But they may not be able to treat the full range of symptoms, so you’ll have to keep going and getting tested and getting the proper vaccine.
