Many citizens with flu, epidemiology: Avoid hospitals, these are normal viruses
Gentiana Qirjako

The Epidemiologist of the Institute of Public Health, Gentiana Qirjako, has called on citizens not to immediately go to the hospital for any flu symptoms, adding that it is a matter of viruses which are normal for the season we are in. 

She said that people who are affected by seasonal viruses should not use antibiotics without the recommendation of the family doctor, stressing that infections caused by viruses are not treated with antibiotics. Among other things, she emphasized that children being affected by these viruses is normal because it is the season when viruses survive in cold temperatures.

"Children are being affected by these seasonal viruses, flu or other viruses. It is normal because of the season, it has always happened, there is nothing new. Any infection caused by viruses is not treated with antibiotics. The antibiotic becomes useful only through complications. When you spend a few days with those viruses, you should be checked by a doctor, but it is never recommended to start immediately with antibiotics" , said Qirjako on Report TV.

As for the high number of citizens who appear in hospitals, Qirjako recommended that people affected by viruses stay at home and drink as much fluids as possible.

"I would recommend that they avoid going to the hospital immediately. A virus is a normal phenomenon in this season. If you get sick, the first thing recommended is to stay at home, drink as much liquid as possible, especially small children. Treat the temperature with paracetamol. If the situation worsens even after 3 days, then they should contact the family doctor. Going to the hospital is not salvation," she said.
