As both flu and suspected cases increase, the flu epidemic is in full swing.

In fact, headaches and muscle pain appear so severe that it is difficult to move and have a high fever, especially for those who have not been inoculated.

It is known that the flu epidemic has begun around a population that has rarely been inoculated while social activities are active.

Flu is in a large-scale epidemic mainly in schools because 13 to 18 years old are not eligible for national vaccination and few people are vaccinated.

In the midst of this, an emergency medical specialist shared the serious situation he faced in the emergency room.

Nam Goong-in, a professor of emergency medicine at Ewha Womans University Mokdong Hospital, said on Facebook on the 7th, "The flu is all the rage. Everyone of all ages gets the flu. He said, "I usually have a fever and body aches, and I have less severe sore throat or respiratory symptoms."

"The flu is originally prevalent every winter when there is a lot of indoor activity and there is no ventilation, but viruses that have been quiet due to the impact of the pandemic are spreading at once," he said.

In particular, "Patients have severe symptoms. Half of the emergency room patients and phone inquiries are related to the flu, he explained, "My mother can't eat," "My father can't walk," and "My grandmother had a stroke, but the strength of her left upper and lower extremities became weaker."

Then, he said, "When I tested them all, it was the flu. "My friend passed out," "I think the urinary tract infection has recurred," and "I vomit and have no energy" were also flu," he said, adding that he often does not complain of typical symptoms.

Experts said the flu epidemic is likely to last until at least spring and recommended that vaccination even now helps prevent it.
