According to the emeritus doctor, some habits of people can actually worsen the symptoms of the disease and slow down recovery
During an illness, in addition to the therapy prescribed by the doctor, the usual daily routine should be changed so that the body has the strength to fight viruses, said Mikhail Kagan, leading scientific editor of the remote medical education service Vrachu.ru, reports “Russian newspaper”.
“Make rest a priority. Cancel plans, stay home and not go to work or school. In addition to helping your body recover, you will prevent the spread of the virus,” he said.
According to the doctor, sick people need to sleep more, because lack of sleep weakens the immune system and makes it more difficult for the body to fight infection. In this case, a night cough can be calmed with a small amount of honey, and to make breathing easier, you should turn on a humidifier.
During illness, as the expert explains, you also need to drink a lot and not give up food, for example, studies have confirmed that chicken soup can really alleviate some of the unpleasant aspects of the disease.
At the same time, the expert advises not to ignore flu symptoms: fatigue, fever or body pain, and to visit a doctor. At your appointment, your doctor may prescribe an antiviral drug. Taking this medicine within the first 48 hours after symptoms appear can shorten your recovery time.
However, you should not ask the doctor to prescribe antibiotics; they will not be beneficial because they kill bacteria, not viruses.
In conclusion, the specialist advises you to stop smoking for the duration of your illness, since the bad habit irritates the throat and damages the lungs. This may only make your cold symptoms worse.
Earlier it became known that the incidence of ARVI in the Altai Territory began to decline. In addition, no cases of influenza infection have been identified in the region.
