இந்திய மருத்துவ கூட்டமைப்பு முக்கிய அறிவிப்பு வெளியிட்டுள்ளது. நாட்டில் H3N2 என்ற பருவ காய்ச்சல் அதிகரித்து வருகிறது.
இது 5-7 நாட்கள் இருக்கும். இருமல் 3 வாரம் இருக்கலாம். இந்த நோயால் பாதிக்கப்படுபவர்களுக்கு ஆன்டிபயாடிக்ஸ் மாத்திரைகள் தரக்கூடாது. எனவே, Azithromycin and Amoxiclav, amoxicillin, norfloxacin, oprofloxacin, ofloxacin, levofloxacin மாத்திரைகள் பரிந்துரைக்க வேண்டாம் என கூறப்பட்டுள்ளது.

Fever cases on rise - Avoid Antibiotics
There is a sudden increase in the number of patients having symptoms of cough, nausea, vomiting, sore throat, fever, body ache, and diarrhoea in some cases. The infection usually lasts for about five to seven days. The fever goes away at the end of three days, but the cough can persist for up to three weeks. As per information from NCDC, most of the cases are H3N2 influenza virus.
It is common to have seasonal cold or cough during October to February period, because of influenza and other viruses.
Mostly it occurs in people above the age of 50 and below 15 years. People develop upper respiratory infections along with fever. Air pollution is one of the precipitating factors.
Give only symptomatic treatment, no need to give antibiotics. But right now, people start taking antibiotics like Azithromycin and Amoxiclav etc, that too without caring for dose & frequency and stop it once start feeling better. This need to be stopped as it leads to antibiotic resistance. Whenever there will a real use of antibiotics, they will not work due to the resistance.
Several other antibiotics are being misused for certain conditions and are developing resistance among patients. For instance, 70% of diarrhoea cases are viral diarrhoea, for which antibiotics are not needed but are being prescribed by doctors.
The most misused antibiotics are amoxicillin, norfloxacin, ciprofloxacin, ofloxacin, levofloxacin. These are being used for diarrhoea and for UTI.
We have already seen widespread use of azithromycin and ivermectin during Covid and this too has led to resistance.
it is necessary to diagnose whether the infection is bacterial or not before prescribing antibiotics.
Self-control and regulation need to be practised by all stakeholders.
For prevention of infection avoid crowded places, practice good hand and respiratory hygiene and take vaccination
