What is Flurona? What are the Symptoms and Ways of Prevention?

Flurona Virus Transmission and Course

It can be transmitted through the mouth and nose through small droplets as a result of coughing or sneezing, or by contact with surfaces contaminated with these droplets. Coronavirus and influenza viruses cause lower and upper respiratory tract infections. In addition to asymptomatic cases, it has a wide scale ranging from relatively mild or moderate infections to severe illness and death.

What Are the Symptoms of Flurona?

It’s considered impossible to tell for sure that you have COVID-19, the flu, or flurona just by looking at the symptoms, because the symptoms are so similar.

Nasal congestion, cough, sore throat, increased shortness of breath with exertion or difficulty in holding the breath can be shown as flu symptoms, while fever, severe body aches, especially muscle aches, can also be a guide for flu. The most common symptoms experienced by Flurona patients are fever, cough, shortness of breath, muscle aches and general body aches, and dyspnea, as well as difficulty breathing, respectively. Nausea-vomiting and diarrhea are also expected symptoms. Although it is more common in COVID-19, loss of taste and smell may also be experienced in flu, thus fluron.

Are Flu and COVID-19 More Dangerous Together?

It is not clear whether co-infection with COVID-19 and influenza is more severe than isolated cases of influenza and COVID-19. The prognosis of flurona is unlikely to be worse in young, healthy individuals who are not immunocompromised, do not have a chronic disease. Researchers are interested in how flurona affects individuals in high-risk groups. How the effects occur in the group at high risk of fluorona has not yet been fully elucidated.

One study on hospitalized patients showed no difference between people with coinfection and those with only COVID-19, while another study showed that patients hospitalized with coinfection had a higher risk of dying from COVID-19.

How Dangerous Is Flurona?

It has been observed that concomitant infection, namely the presence of flurona, may exacerbate the complications caused by COVID-19, especially in individuals with an underlying disease or immunocompromised. However, this knowledge, which can be explained in theory, is not yet clear in practice. It has not been determined that being infected with an additional virus has a worse prognosis.

How to Avoid Flurona?

Both COVID-19 and flu are easily spread by close contact with an infected individual, breathing the same air, and sharing common areas. Providing regular and effective ventilation in the environment, using masks to cover the mouth and nose, maintaining social distance, paying attention to the hygiene rules in the environment and washing the hands frequently are cheap and effective methods that can be considered in order to prevent the spread and ensure the protection of individuals. In addition to these considerations, vaccination may be among the choices for protection from flurona, as the risk of infection for both diseases can be greatly reduced by vaccination. As vaccination for COVID-19 has been prioritized in recent times, there is understandable vaccine fatigue in humans. Although flu vaccines remained in the background during this period, it is recommended to give the necessary importance to flu vaccines, since the symptoms will be significantly milder in vaccinated people than in unvaccinated people.

What to Do If Co-OVID-19 and Influenza Coexistence is Suspected?

In case of suspected COVID-19, flu and flurona, a test can be performed for both coronavirus and influenza. Rapid tests for both influenza and COVID-19 can be found in almost all healthcare facilities. While waiting for the test results, you should stay at home or act in accordance with the social distance rules with a mask in order not to cause COVID-19 or flu transmission.
