General practitioner Larisa Alekseeva named the categories of people who are most vulnerable to the flu in the autumn-winter period.

According to her, the viral disease affects many people, regardless of age, but some suffer from it more severely than others. Alekseeva in conversation with “Evening Moscow“said that we are talking about people over 60 years old, patients with post-Covid syndrome or joint diseases, children and pregnant women.

She explained that in pensioners, the flu is more severe against the background of other concomitant diseases, which also worsen in the fall. The disease can even be fatal, the doctor warned.

Alekseeva also recalled that the flu affects the general condition of the musculoskeletal system, so people with joint diseases are vulnerable to the disease.

Speaking about pregnant women, the doctor pointed out that such women simply do not have the opportunity to take many antiviral drugs. “If a woman gets sick, she will have to treat herself with lemon and ginger,” Alekseeva stated.

Previously, doctor Olga Shashkova listed products that quickly cleanse the body of nicotine.
