Hospitals across Malaysia have reported a rise in patients with flu-like symptoms, especially in October and November 🦠. While this increase may raise concerns, health officials have confirmed that there are no reports of H5N5 avian flu in the country. Seasonal Influenza A and Influenza B remain common during this period. Experts stress the importance of preventive measures such as wearing masks in crowded places, washing hands regularly, and staying home when unwell.


At DocTok Asia, we encourage everyone to stay vigilant and prioritise their health. This surge in flu cases highlights the importance of proper diagnosis and treatment. Misusing antibiotics or ignoring symptoms can lead to complications, as viral infections like the flu do not respond to antibiotics. Let’s continue to support one another by staying informed and practising responsible health habits.
