The Centre on Monday said that the seasonal influenza situation is likely to improve with cases expected to decline by March-end.
Union Health Ministry on Friday said it was also keeping a close eye on the deaths and morbidity due to H3N2 influenza, which is a sub-category of seasonal influenza. It added that young children and old age persons were among the most vulnerable groups.
As per official records, among the first two deaths due to H3N2, one was an 82-year-old man from Karnataka, while another confirmed death has is from Haryana.

Prolonged illness, lingering cough: IRMC reveals cause of flu gripping several parts of India

Influenza A subtype H3N2: Prolonged illness, lingering cough: what is this covid-like flu? ICMR explains

They have also suggested a list of Dos and Don'ts for people to follow to protect themselves from contracting the virus.

A persistent cough, sometimes accompanied by fever, running through India for the past two-three months is due to Influenza A subtype H3N2, ICMR experts said.
The H3N2, which has been in wide circulation for the past two-three months, causes more hospitalisations than other subtypes, said Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) scientists who keep a close watch on ailments caused by respiratory viruses through the Virus Research and Diagnostic Laboratories network.
They have also suggested a list of Dos and Don'ts for people to follow to protect themselves from contracting the virus.
The Indian Medical Association (IMA), on the other hand, has advised against indiscriminate use of antibiotics amid rising cases of cough, cold and nausea across the country.
Seasonal fever will last five to seven days, it said.
The fever goes away at the end of three days but the cough can persist for up to three weeks, the IMA's Standing Committee for Anti-Microbial Resistance said.
Viral cases have also surged due to air pollution, it said, adding that it mostly occurs in people aged below 15 and above 50 and causes upper respiratory infections along with fever.
The association also asked doctors to prescribe only symptomatic treatment and not antibiotics.
"Right now, people start taking antibiotics like Azithromycin and Amoxiclav etc, that too without caring for done and frequency and stop it once start feeling better. This needs to be stopped as it leads to antibiotic resistance. Whenever there will be a real use of antibiotics, they will not work due to the resistance," the IMA said in a statement.
The most misused antibiotics are Amoxicillin, Norfloxacin, Oprofloxacin, Ofloxacin and Levofloxacin. These are being used for the treatment of diarrhoea and UTI, it said.
"We have already seen widespread use of Azithromycin and Ivermectin during Covid and this too has led to resistance. It is necessary to diagnose whether the infection is bacterial or not before prescribing antibiotics," it said.

Potatoes in socks curing flu. Health hack or hoax?

TikTokers are sleeping with slices of potatoes in their socks to beat the flu.&nbsp;

Mob Mentality has been there forever but when it comes to social media, it gets aggravated and people without thinking twice just hop onto trends.
Recently, this happened yet again when TikTokers started following the trend of sleeping with pieces of potatoes in their socks, thinking it would cure the flu in this winter season.
This bizarre remedy is known as &lsquo;potato sock&rsquo; and has gone viral with hundreds of users trying this health hack. The videos and posts have collectively garnered a whopping 8.1 billion views.
People have posted videos of potatoes that had turned black after being there in their socks, saying the potato pieces sucked in toxins and cured them. While some have benefitted from this, some say it&rsquo;s just a hoax.
Nutritionists also debunked the hack saying potatoes turn black anyway if cut and exposed to air and body heat. So, would you like to give it a try or just pass?

Respiratory syncytial virus: What is RSV? Here's what you need to know about this contagious virus 

What is RSV? Here's all you need to know about this contagious virus 

Respiratory syncytial virus or RSV is a common respiratory virus that targets the lungs especially small air pathways (bronchioles). It is caused in children younger than 2 years.&nbsp;

Respiratory syncytial virus or RSV is a common respiratory virus that targets lungs especially its small air pathways (bronchioles). According to a study published in Therapeutic Advances in Infectious Disease, children below the age of 2 have higher chances of getting infected by the disease at least once.
Common symptoms of RSV are mild cough, runny nose, fever and cold. It is a communicable disease that can be transferred to adults as well, from infected droplets in the air or the surface.
As per CDC, people who are suffering from chronic lung or heart conditions and a weak immune system are at higher risk of catching RSV.
It is a seasonal illness like influenza virus which is usually caused during winters or late autumns and mostly lasts for 2 weeks.

When you&rsquo;re down with the flu or just have a cold, everyone has a titbit of advice about what you should eat to improve your health.&nbsp;But oddly enough, some foods can actually make your symptoms worse.&nbsp;&nbsp;
When you&rsquo;re dealing with an already low appetite and swallowing difficulties,&nbsp;it is important to avoid these foods that may actually be detrimental to your recovery.&nbsp;&nbsp;
SUGARY FOODS&nbsp;
A heavy intake of sugar prohibits the immune system from doing its job. Sugary foods can also&nbsp;create inflammation in the body so it's best to stay&nbsp;away from sweet treats like candy or chocolate&nbsp;until you feel better.&nbsp;&nbsp;
DAIRY PRODUCTS&nbsp;&nbsp;
An otherwise healthy enough food group, it is best to avoid dairy products like milk, cheese or yoghurt when you&rsquo;re under the weather. Dairy can actually make your symptoms worse by&nbsp;temporarily thickening mucus. Keep your dairy intake to a minimum when you&rsquo;re sick.&nbsp;&nbsp;
FRIED OR GREASY FOODS&nbsp;&nbsp;
High-fat foods require much more time and effort to digest, forcing the stomach to work a lot harder when it's already sensitive, leading to acid reflux and vomiting.&nbsp;Avoid fried and greasy foods that are high in saturated fats as they will make you feel worse.&nbsp;&nbsp;
HISTAMINE-DENSE FOODS&nbsp;&nbsp;
Histamine is a compound that is part of the body&rsquo;s local immune response. But it also causes&nbsp;many of the symptoms of allergies, such as a runny nose or sneezing.&nbsp;To keep your body from going on a histamine overdrive, avoid&nbsp;strawberries, avocado, banana, alcohol and fermented foods when you&rsquo;re dealing with a cold.&nbsp;
CAFFEINE&nbsp;&nbsp;
You may crave your morning cup of coffee even when you&rsquo;re down with the flu.&nbsp;However, caffeinated drinks like tea, coffee or soda&nbsp;are&nbsp;diuretics and can&nbsp;dehydrate your&nbsp;body. They drain your body of&nbsp;necessary&nbsp;fluid when it needs them the most for a speedy recovery.
