The specialists of the Republican Center for Health Strengthening warn that elderly people aged 65 and older are at increased risk of contracting viral diseases, including ARVI and influenza. To prevent influenza and ARVI infections, it is important to follow several recommendations:
The most effective way to protect yourself is vaccination against influenza.
Wash your hands regularly with soap or use antiseptics.
Maintain distance from people who cough or sneeze.
Wear masks in public places.
Ventilate rooms frequently.
Ensure a balanced diet: eat plenty of vegetables, fruits, and dairy products, engage in physical activity for at least 30 minutes a day, ensure you get enough sleep, and avoid stress.
Avoid self-medication.
Although the illness may manifest in a mild form, serious complications, including fatalities, can sometimes occur. The main complications include:
Pneumonia
Bronchitis
ENT problems such as otitis, sinusitis, and tracheitis

The symptoms of the disease may include:
