What is the difference between the modern view of the common cold, said the expert.
Fact number 1. Cold cannot cause a cold
Therapist Leonid Samoilov believes that we catch cold not because we are cold, but because we spend a lot of time indoors during the cold season. Because of what, viruses actively multiply in offices or apartments – the real culprits of the common cold.
Fact number 2. As we age, we are less likely to get colds.
You will be surprised, but according to statistics, babies and children under 16 get sick about 10 times a year. Adults under 35 years old – no more than 5 times, and people over 40 years old rarely catch a cold – a maximum of 2 times a year.
As the doctor explained, with age, the human body gains immune experience, which “gains” from illness to illness. Here it also helps to cope with a cold faster.
Fact number 3. You can take a shower at a high temperature
Water procedures for colds are not at all contraindicated, the specialist says. On the contrary, toxins that are produced by the body during illness will come out through the pores. The doctor recommends that you definitely take water procedures during acute respiratory infections for a speedy recovery. Only the water should be warm, in no case hot.
Fact number 4. Phlegm is a sign that the body is fighting
The doctor noted that to reflect the virus, the body needs enzymes, which are rejected in the form of mucus a few days after the onset of the disease. It is these substances that give sputum a greenish or yellowish tint. A change in the color of the discharge proves the body’s struggle with the disease.
