流感只是普通感冒嗎?Is the flu just a common cold?
流感與普通感冒不同。健康人士多可在數日至不足兩星期內康復,但長者、幼童、孕婦及有長期病患者較容易出現嚴重疾病或併發症。症狀持續或惡化時應求醫,不宜單憑症狀自行確診。Influenza differs from a common cold. Most healthy people recover within a few days to less than two weeks, but older people, young children, pregnant women and people with underlying conditions are more vulnerable to severe illness or complications. Seek care if symptoms persist or worsen; symptoms alone do not confirm the diagnosis.
天然療法足以治療季節性疾病嗎?Are natural remedies enough to treat seasonal illnesses?
天然不等於安全。草藥或其他補充產品可能有副作用,亦可能影響正在使用的藥物。使用前應告訴醫護所有藥物及產品,不要自行用天然療法代替合適的診症或治療。Natural does not mean safe. Herbal or other supplementary products may cause adverse effects or affect other medicines. Tell healthcare professionals about all medicines and products before use. Do not replace appropriate assessment or treatment with a natural remedy on your own.
