NSA Ajit Doval’s Health Raises Concern: Why Is Seasonal Flu Particularly Dangerous for the Elderly?

Lifestyle News: India's National Security Advisor (NSA), Ajit Doval, is suffering from seasonal flu these days and is currently resting. The ongoing 80s of the age, Doval, was to attend an important international security meeting to be held in Moscow but canceled his journey due to poor health. This decision not only reflects the seriousness of Doval's health but also highlights that the seasonal flu can be dangerous in aged people.

Seasonal flu: Not trivial, especially for the elderly

According to the World Health Organization (WHO), seasonal flu — also known as seasonal influenza — is an acute respiratory infection caused by the influenza virus. It usually clears up without special treatment, but it is an infectious disease that spreads rapidly through coughing or sneezing. Common symptoms of seasonal flu include high fever, sore throat, dry cough, headache, muscle pain, fatigue, runny or blocked nose, and loss of appetite.

In older people, the virus can cause dehydration, a drop in blood pressure, electrolyte imbalance, and other complications. This situation becomes even more sensitive for senior officials like Ajit Doval, as their health is not only related to personal but also national security.

NSA's absence: Empty chair at strategic forum

The absence of Ajit Doval at the international security meeting to be held in Moscow is being seen as an important development in diplomatic circles. An official statement is awaited on what level of representation India will have at this meeting.

Doval's presence not only strengthens India's strategic position but also strengthens India's role on security and terrorism issues in global forums.

Prevention of seasonal flu: Small measures, big impact

According to experts, the most effective way to prevent this disease is vaccination. Apart from this:

• Keep distance from sick people
• Cover nose and mouth while coughing or sneezing
• Clean hands frequently with soap or sanitizer
• Do not touch eyes, nose and mouth repeatedly
• Get enough sleep and stay away from stress
• Pay special attention to healthy diet and hydration

Caution is safety

Seasonal flu is a common disease, but for senior citizens like Doval, it is a warning that with age even minor infections can take a serious form. Hopefully he will soon recover and return to his responsibilities, and the country will see him again with the same energy as it has seen so far.
