It is important to protect yourself against contracting or spreading the flu. *What is type A influenza?* Influenza — also known as the flu — is a contagious viral infection that attacks your respiratory system. Influenza viruses that infect humans can be classified into three main groups: A, B, and C. Types A influenza infection can be serious and cause widespread outbreaks and disease. Common symptoms of type A infection can be confused with other conditions. While in some milder cases the flu can resolve on its own without significant symptoms, severe cases of type A influenza can be life-threatening. *Influenza A symptoms* Unlike a common cold, the flu typically occurs with a sudden onset of symptoms. Common signs of an influenza infection include: coughing runny or stuffy nose sneezing sore throat fever headache fatigue chills body aches Sometimes, influenza A symptoms may resolve on their own. However, if symptoms persist for more than a week without improvement, schedule a visit with your doctor. In rare cases, the flu can be deadly. *Left untreated, the flu can cause:* ear infection diarrhea nausea vomiting dizziness abdominal pain chest pain asthma attack pneumonia bronchitis cardiac issues *Treatment* In some cases, influenza A symptoms can clear on their own with ample rest and fluid intake. In other cases, your doctor may prescribe antiviral medication to fight the infection. Common antiviral prescriptions include: zanamivir (Relenza) oseltamivir (Tamiflu) peramivir (Rapivab) These medications, known as neuraminidase inhibitors, reduce the ability of the influenza virus to spread from cell to cell, slowing down the infection process. Though effective, these medications can cause side effects such as nausea and vomiting. If you begin to experience any of these symptoms or if your condition worsens, stop using the prescription and visit your doctor immediately. A new medication called baloxavir marboxil (Xofluza), created by a Japanese pharmaceutical company, was approved in October 2018 by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). This antiviral drug helps stop the influenza virus from replicating. Over-the-counter medication therapy can also ease flu symptoms. Be sure to stay hydrated to loosen mucus in your chest and strengthen your immune system. *How long is it contagious?* If you have the flu, you’re contagious from at least a day before you begin to experience symptoms *up through five days after your symptoms begin*. In more severe cases, you could be contagious for even longer after you begin experiencing symptoms. This number can fluctuate if your immune system is weak or undeveloped, specifically in cases of children or older adults. *Prevention* The best way to prevent the flu is through annual vaccinations. Each flu shot protects against three to four different influenza viruses within that year’s flu season. Other ways to prevent spreading this disease include: washing your hands regularly avoiding large crowds, specifically during a flu outbreak covering your mouth and nose when you cough or sneeze staying home if you develop a fever and for at least 24 hours after it goes away Bryan Denny Director of Student Life Criminal Justice Chair/C.O.P.
