Summer Flu: Tips and Precautions

Although respiratory infections are usually associated with winter, Dr. Stamatoula Tsikrika points out that respiratory infections are also possible in the summer. Despite the low epidemiological data from EODY for influenza, there are cases with symptoms such as fever, cough, runny nose, muscle aches, pharyngitis, or even chest pain.

Dr. Tsikrika emphasizes that persistent fever, cough with purulent sputum, difficulty breathing, and chest pain require immediate medical evaluation. It is recommended to observe personal hygiene measures and avoid crowding.

Summer infections may be mild, but their circulation can cause discomfort or complications, especially in vulnerable individuals.
