Duration | Men Flu

Duration

The male flu generally lasts about seven days. If a doctor is consulted, the duration of the disease can usually be reduced to one week. The worst phase of male influenza occurs in the first three to four days, when the symptoms are very pronounced.

For affected patients and their relatives: Keep calm! Do not lose patience. Contrary to the expectations of everyone involved, a male flu eventually passes and heals without complications.

Treatment

The most important therapy measure for male flu is the attention of a loving partner and/or the attention of one’s own children. A loving care can work wonders and get the terminally ill man back on his feet faster. Ideally, a man with male flu should not be let out of his sight, but should be cared for around the clock.

If this is not possible, the patient can watch films in the living room. The nurse should be patient and show as much compassion as possible, make tea and prepare light meals. Medicated painkillers can help against headaches and sore throats, nose drops or inhalations against a blocked nose. Cold baths are also recommended.

How can you prevent male flu?

An effective prophylaxis against male flu could unfortunately not yet be found. As mentioned above, the male flu viruses use the female body as a training camp and are therefore very strong when they attack a man. Until an effective and special prophylaxis against the male flu is found, we must advise general measures: healthy nutrition, sufficient sport.

Dress warm enough in winter, drink enough. Wash your hands regularly.
