Recently, flu cases in Korea have increased significantly, and many people are experiencing symptoms such as fever, sore throat, cough, body aches, fatigue, and chills. Hospitals and pharmacies are seeing more patients than usual, and recovery often takes longer than with a common cold.

Please take extra precautions to protect your health and the people around you.

 Prevention & Daily Care

Wear a mask when going out, especially in crowded or enclosed places such as subways, buses, and shopping areas

Wash your hands frequently and avoid touching your face

Keep warm, especially your neck and feet

Avoid staying up late, as lack of sleep can weaken your immune system

 Common Symptoms & Medication Tips (for mild symptoms)

📌 In Korea, pharmacists can recommend appropriate medication if you describe your symptoms at a pharmacy (약국).

 Rest & Recovery (Very Important)

Get plenty of rest and avoid unnecessary outings

Drink warm fluids and stay hydrated

Eat light, warm meals such as soup or porridge

Ensure adequate sleep to support your immune system

Many people feel slightly better and resume activities too soon, which can slow recovery. It’s best to fully recover before returning to normal routines.

When to See a Doctor

Please seek medical care if you experience:

A persistent high fever above 38.5°C (101.3°F)

Difficulty breathing or chest pain

Severe headache or confusion

Symptoms lasting more than a week without improvement

 Final Reminder

Your health comes first. With flu cases currently spreading, taking proper care and resting when needed is essential.
If you’re feeling unwell, please prioritize your health and take time to rest.

Wishing everyone good health and a safe season ahead.
