How Dangerous Are Flu-Related Pneumonia Complications?

Influenza (the flu) is a contagious viral infection that attacks the respiratory system. According to Dr. Truong Huu Khanh, an epidemiologist and former head of the Infectious Diseases and Neurology Department at Children’s Hospital I in Ho Chi Minh City, cases where the flu leads to pneumonia are relatively rare. However, the risk increases for certain groups, including pregnant women, young children, the elderly, immunocompromised individuals, and those with underlying health conditions. If flu-related pneumonia is not treated in time, it can be fatal.

Flu symptoms can often be mistaken for the common cold, as they include a runny nose, sneezing, and a sore throat. However, while colds develop gradually, flu symptoms tend to appear suddenly. Common flu symptoms include: Fever above 38°C, muscle aches, chills, headache, dry cough, fatigue, nasal congestion, sore throat.

In most cases, the flu is mild and resolves within 2~7 days. However, for children, the elderly and individuals with chronic conditions such as heart and lung disease, kidney disease, metabolic disorders, anemia or weakened immune systems, the illness can progress more severely, increasing the risk of complications and even death.

Dr. Khanh noted that pneumonia caused by the flu presents symptoms such as: Difficulty breathing, shortness of breath, persistent high fever lasting more than five days. For such cases, immediate medical intervention is necessary.

How to Prevent the Flu?

The flu is caused by the Influenza virus, which constantly mutates, leading to new strains. It spreads rapidly and can cause outbreaks.

Flu is transmitted through respiratory droplets in the air and through direct contact with infected saliva or nasal secretions when an infected person coughs or sneezes.

To proactively prevent seasonal flu, the Department of Preventive Medicine under the Ministry of Health recommends the following:

• Maintain personal hygiene, cover your mouth when sneezing, wash hands frequently with soap and clean water, and rinse the nose and throat with saline daily.
• Keep the body warm and maintain a nutritious diet to strengthen immunity.
• Avoid unnecessary contact with flu patients or individuals suspected of having the flu.
• Seek medical attention immediately if experiencing symptoms such as cough, fever, runny nose, headache, and fatigue.
• Get vaccinated against seasonal flu, as vaccination is the most effective preventive measure. The World Health Organization (WHO) recommends annual flu vaccination.
