The first symptom of bird flu

One year, a kind of influenza called H7N9 became prevalent in our country. It is a very strong infectious disease. The transmission of this infectious disease is particularly strong. Its clinical manifestations are similar to those of colds. Because it originated from poultry, it is also called avian influenza. The most obvious phenomenon of avian influenza is that the patient will have a high fever, cough and runny nose continuously. So, what is the first symptom of avian influenza?

What not to eat during bird flu

1. Spicy, hot and greasy food

Influenza is commonly known as flu. People with influenza should eat light and easily digestible food, such as rice porridge, vegetable soup, soy milk, fresh fruit juice, etc. During the high fever period, some patients may experience gastrointestinal symptoms such as loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting, constipation or diarrhea. Spicy (chili, ginger, onion, garlic, etc.) and greasy (fat meat, pork intestines, ham, lamb, duck, fried foods) foods are difficult to digest, and excessive amounts of them can also generate dampness and heat, aggravating gastrointestinal symptoms. Therefore, influenza patients should mainly eat liquid food. Avoid spicy and greasy foods.

2. Salty and cold things

Pickles, salty foods and various overly salty products are cold in nature. Eating them will cause the membranes in the affected area to contract, aggravating the symptoms of nasal congestion and throat discomfort. Too salty food can easily produce phlegm and cause severe coughing. Therefore, it is not advisable to eat too much salty and cold food, especially if you have a cold caused by wind and cold, you should avoid eating it.

3. Spicy food

Wine contains alcohol and coffee contains caffeine, which can have a stimulating effect. Excessive consumption is harmful. It can make the patient restless and even cause poisoning. Strong tea can also make people excited. Influenza patients have low resistance and need to take good care of themselves, reduce consumption, and fight the virus, which will help them recover as soon as possible. Using alcohol, coffee, strong tea and certain stimulant drinks is like adding fuel to the fire. Therefore, influenza patients should stop eating the above foods, and theacrine can also reduce the effectiveness of antipyretic drugs.

4. Scallions

Green onions are listed as an antipyretic in traditional Chinese medicine. They have a strong body fluid-moving property and can easily induce sweating in the abdomen. They are suitable for patients with colds and excessive sweating. Excessive sweating due to cold is often caused by deficiency of the exterior and difference between the Ying and Wei systems. Eating green onions will aggravate the sweating condition, so green onions should be avoided.
