Doctors on Alert
For Flu Outbreak
When Carol, Edna, and Hazel i
were invading the East Coast last j
fall, scientists were table to plot j
their probable behavior and warn j
the public to take precautions
against the hurricanes. With
equal care, scientists have been l
watching the advance of another!
I threat to our safety: Type A in- ;
j fluenza.
Beginning with an outbreak in j
Australia last summer, Type A'
has followed a pattern which
could bring it to the United States
j this winter. It may not appear at
all, but doctors are on the alert.
We need not fear a disastrous
epidemic such as struck this coun- j
try in 1918. Many of the deaths -
then were the result of pneu- j
monia or meningitis that devel- I
oped following the “flu.” New j
antibiotics and other drugs will,
cut down these secondary infec-1
tions. Prompt treatment and care
ful nursing through convales
cense will also help prevent com
j plications.
If influenza does strike in your
community, avoid crowds. The
“flu” virus is spread by direct
contact, but it can be carried and
passed on by people who are not
sick themselves. Watch for symp
toms. If any member of the fam
ily complains of sore throat,
cough, headache, fever, or naus
ea, put him to bed at once. Influ
enza moves fast to the acute stage
when there may be severe pains
in the back, chest and limbs, and
exhaustion to the point of pros
tration.
Follow the doctor’s instructions
carefully. There is no specific
cure for influenza, but the dis
comfort can be relieved and dan
gerous complications prevented.
Lots of rest and a gradual return
to normal activity are of the ut
most importance in coming safely |
through influenza.
