Human Metapneumovirus (HMPV) is the new virus that’s affected China big time. India also has seen a few cases now.
Swipe to know more about its symptoms.
HMPV is a viral disease that primarily affects infants and children under 5 and adults over 65 years whose immunity has been compromised.
It gets transmitted through:
- Coughing and sneezing
- Contact touch with an infected person
- Touching surfaces like door handles, phones etc that have been coughed on or are infected with.
It is mostly a mild infection which is self-limiting. People with low immunity could take longer to recover and may get complications like bronchitis, pneumonia, Asthama flare ups.
Homeopathy helps in boosting one’s immunity to prevent getting infected by viruses including HMPV and also in also combating the virus during an active infection.
We can reduce the risk of infection significantly by:
- Washing hands frequently with soap.
- Covering nose and mouth with elbows while sneezing or coughing.
- Avoid touching the face, eyes, nose and mouth.
- Wearing a mask if you have a cold or around an infected person.
