常見問題Common questions

流感可能引致什麼嚴重併發症?What serious complications can influenza cause?

流感可引致肺炎等併發症。長者、幼童、孕婦及有長期病患人士較需留意;呼吸困難、胸痛或神志不清應立即求醫。Complications can include pneumonia. Older people, young children, pregnant women and people with underlying conditions need particular care. Breathing difficulty, chest pain or confusion requires urgent help.

腸道微生態與免疫力有甚麼關係?How is the gut microbiome related to immunity?

腸道菌群與免疫功能有關,但不能把益生菌或「增強免疫力」說法當成預防或治療流感的保證。Gut microbes interact with immune function. Probiotics and “immunity” claims are not guarantees of influenza prevention or treatment.

誰應查詢流感疫苗?Who should enquire about flu vaccination?

可向醫護了解是否適合接種,尤其長者、兒童、孕婦及有長期病患者。優先組別、資助及供應按衞生署最新安排確認。Ask a clinician about suitability, particularly for older people, children, pregnant women and people with chronic illness. Confirm priority groups, subsidies and supply against current Department of Health arrangements.

如有嚴重呼吸困難、持續胸痛、神志不清或病情迅速惡化,請立即致電999或前往急症室,不要等候網站回覆。For severe breathing difficulty, persistent chest pain, confusion or rapid deterioration, call 999 or attend an emergency department immediately; do not wait for a website reply.

流感是呼吸道感染,可出現發燒、咳嗽及疲倦等不適。病情因人而異;是否屬於流感,以及是否需要檢查或治療,須由醫護評估。Influenza is a respiratory infection that may cause fever, cough and tiredness. Illness varies. Assessment is needed to determine the cause and whether tests or treatment are appropriate.

與醫護討論甚麼?What can I discuss with a healthcare professional?

可向醫護說明症狀開始時間、變化、現有疾病及用藥。疫苗是否適合、接種日期及供應需另行確認;不應把「增強免疫力」或任何補充品視為防病保證。Tell your clinician when symptoms began, how they changed, and your conditions and medicines. Confirm vaccine suitability, timing and supply separately. Neither an “immunity” claim nor a supplement is a guarantee against illness.
