Influenza attack

Hello, February 1st 2011! :D

Japan is colder than before. Yesterday, it was reach -1°c in the morning

Yes, for people who live in tropical country like me, it will be little bit hard to get used in the winter. but, because i have lived in Japan since last of August, i felt the change of temperature and weather step by step, not sudden. so i can get use to it.

But, 2 weeks ago, a teacher from one of University in Indonesia came to Japan and she got sick in here because of the weather. So, if you want to come Japan around these days, be careful. February is the coldest month.

Talking about sickness, some of my friends in dormitory also get sick now.

One of my best friend from Vietnam, Chau since came back from skiing in Fukushima, is having cough and running nose now

Two days ago, my other friend, Soyeon got influenza. Instead of she worked a lot and not sleep enough, her sick is a little bit serious. In Sunday, she chilled, coughed, muscles pain, and vomit . Yesterday, She got fever and immediately,our Okaasan brought her to hospital. The doctor said that she is not get influenza but it's better to say it is influenza.

Now, she is bed resting. Get well soon all my friends :D

To prevent it, our Okaasan asked us to do always wash our hand and mouth after go outside.

Then all of we been provided masks. for myself, i take vitamin c every morning.

Actually, when in Indonesia, we all think flu is not a serious ill. Just take some rest and take some medicines. But, everything is different in Japan since also influenza involved become a serious ill (Bird Flu and Swine Flu) . They take early prevent for all sickness whether is a serious ill or not. For example, everybody better to have injection for influenza, etc and i suggest you to go hospital when you feel sick.

Curious about this, I had looked for information about influenza in Google.

Influenza can be a serious ill if we don't take any early prevention.

Symptoms of influenza may include:

Fever and extreme coldness (chills shivering, shaking (rigor))

Cough

Nasal congestion

Body aches, especially joints and throat
