Seasonal Illnesses Threaten End-of-Year Productivity

Don’t Let Seasonal Illnesses ‌Derail ⁢Yoru ‌End-of-Year ‌Productivity

As the year draws to a close, many ‍of us are juggling work deadlines with holiday preparations. Sadly,‌ unpredictable ⁢weather can bring a surge in seasonal illnesses, threatening to derail​ our busy schedules. According to digital health experts, common ailments like ‌Acute Respiratory infections (ISPA), sore throats,​ and‍ the​ flu⁢ are on the⁤ rise during the late fall and ​winter months. “Even though these ‌illnesses may ⁣seem mild, they⁤ can significantly impact productivity,” warns Monica Cynthia Dewi, Medical Manager at Halodoc. ‍”Extreme temperature swings between rain and heat can weaken the immune system, ⁤making⁣ us more vulnerable⁤ to viruses and bacteria.” She adds: “Even ⁤though it⁤ seems mild, this seasonal disease often interferes with ⁤productivity, especially when​ we have to finish work at the end of the year or prepare for holidays.” Research backs up this concern.‍ Studies have shown that influenza can reduce worker⁢ productivity by as ⁤much as 67-74 percent,​ while ‌coughs and colds can cause a ⁣26.4 percent decrease. While these illnesses may cause discomfort, the consequences of⁣ neglecting them can ​be far-reaching.

When to Seek Medical ‍Attention

Monica advises taking prompt action if symptoms persist. ‌”If you don’t see⁤ enhancement within 2-3 days, even after taking over-the-counter medications, it’s vital to seek medical advice.” ‍She also emphasizes the need ‌to consult a doctor immediately ‍if you experience a high fever exceeding 38 degrees⁤ Celsius ⁢for more than two days, or if you⁢ have difficulty breathing or‌ chest pain. Don’t let ​medical issues sideline your‍ holiday plans. Seek help if symptoms interfere with your daily activities, including work or preparations for the festive ‍season.

Staying Healthy During a Busy Season

Monica offers valuable tips for staying healthy during the end-of-year rush:

• Boost your immune system with nutritious food, adequate rest, and vitamin supplements.

• Consider‍ taking vitamin C or getting⁣ a flu vaccination as preventative measures.
