However, the flu is not just a common cold- young individuals can also develop severe complications, which may even be life-threatening. Recent clinical data shows that the flu does not only impact the elderly or those with chronic illnesses; young people can also suffer from severe consequences due to complications. If symptoms such as persistent high fever, difficulty breathing, chest pain, confusion, bluish limbs, or severe headaches occur, immediate medical attention is necessary to avoid missing the critical treatment window. The best way to prevent severe flu complications is vaccination, as the flu virus mutates rapidly. Annual flu shots effectively reduce the risk of infection and severe illness. Additionally, maintaining good hygiene habits, frequent handwashing, covering coughs, along with regular sleep, a healthy diet, and moderate exercise can help strengthen the immune system.
