Memahami COVID-19, Flu, dan RSV

Jaga kesehatan keluarga Anda di musim flu ini.

Apa itu flu?

The flu is a contagious respiratory illness. It’s caused by influenza viruses that infect the nose, throat, and sometimes the lungs. It can lead to problems like ear infections or bacterial pneumonia. Sometimes it can lead to a hospital stay or even death. It can also make chronic conditions like asthma, diabetes, cancer, and others worse. Click di sini untuk mempelajari lebih lanjut.

Gejala flu meliputi:

  • Nyeri otot
  • Kelelahan
  • Batuk
  • Sakit tenggorokan
  • Sakit kepala
  • Fever (not everyone with the flu gets a fever)
  • Some people also have vomiting and diarrhea. This is more common in children than adults.

Apa itu virus pernapasan syncytial (RSV)?

RSV is also a contagious respiratory virus. It usually causes mild, cold-like symptoms, but it can sometimes be serious. Most people who get RSV will feel better in a week or two.

RSV is very common. Most children will get RSV by their second birthday.

RSV symptoms usually show up within four to six days of getting infected. RSV symptoms usually are:

  • ingusan
  • Lower appetite than usual
  • Batuk
  • Bersin
  • Demam
  • Desah

Symptoms don’t usually appear all at once. Very young children with RSV may only have symptoms of:

  • Sifat lekas marah
  • Lower activity than usual
  • Masalah pernapasan

Call your doctor if you or your child:

  • Mengalami kesulitan bernapas.
  • Cannot drink enough fluids.
  • Have symptoms that are getting worse.

Most RSV infections will go away on their own in a week or two. But some people are more likely to get very sick from RSV. This includes adults age 60 and older, pregnant people, and young children.

How can I protect myself and others from flu, a cold, COVID-19, or RSV?

Flu season begins in October and can last through May. You can get a cold any time of the year, but people are most likely to get colds from August to April. You can get COVID-19 any time of the year. RSV season begins in October and can last through April.

There are easy ways to protect yourself and others from these respiratory illnesses:

  • Wash your hands often. Use soap and water, and wash for at least 20 seconds.
  • Cover your mouth with your elbow, a tissue, or a shirtsleeve (not your hands) when you cough or sneeze.
  • Tetap di rumah jika Anda merasa sakit.
  • Try to avoid direct contact with viruses. You can do this by avoiding kissing, shaking hands, and sharing cups or eating utensils.
  • Clean surfaces that are touched often, like doorknobs, cellphones, and light switches.
