Influenza
When Children get sick it most of the time gives the parent restless mind because,basically children can't really explain to you the type of feeling they get most especially when the is yet to speak

As parents, we can't help but worry all the time about our children when they are sick especially when they're back from school and you notice unusuall dullness which send you a signal of illness on your child.
It is more worrisome when they get sick and they cannot fully explain to you what it is they are feeling. However, there are common types of sickness that get children down at one point. We experience these same illnesses as adults.
We just worry too much because they're just kids and we can't just give them any over-the-counter or road side medication. They may also get injured that they may experience as a result of their curiosity such as minor scrapes and scratches, bee stings and the like


Influenza


The acute illness caused by viruses that infects the respiratory tract is medically termed as Influenza. The common name for influenza is flu. It is a contagious disease, as it spread through respiration and easily takes a form of an pandemic.
The subsequent effect of influenza includes cold, body aches, chills, soar throat, fevers from mild to severe degree and at times can cause death. The virus of influenza grips the immune system and reduces the resistance to other illnesses.

Causes of Influenza


Scientifically, there are three types of viruses - A, B and C which causes influenza. Further each type has sub-types or strains, but each of the sub-type maintains the characteristic of the original virus.Seasonal changes, especially setting of winter or ending of seasons, is a favorable time for the influenza viruses as they get active and spread among large populations.

Generally, people with strong immune system can easily recover from the effects of influenza as the body immune system fight against the viruses. With bird flu it is different as this virus strain (H5N1) makes the body produce large amounts of anti-bodies to the extent where it can kill the patient.
A strong immune system will produce more antibodies than a weak immune system increasing the risk of death in healthy people. 121doc offers prescription medication under the guidance of professional doctors as per the details provided in the consultation form filled by the customer.
