Because of the cold, the heart also weakens The health

Nazeb and viral infections of the airways can be seriously complicated

PREHLADU and respiratory infections caused by viruses are easily understandable and can cause many serious diseases: development of rheumatic fever, worsening of allergy, heart failure … The cold associated with poor immunity usually leads to Appearance of bacteria. They are the main reason why viral inflammation is usually complicated and an ear infection, chronic inflammation of the sinuses, prolonged cough, pneumonia.

Professor Petar Otasevic, a cardiologist at the Institute of Cardiovascular Diseases, said respiratory infections, and especially the flu, increased the ability to achieve heart failure repeatedly.

– If symptoms persist after three or four days, or if worsening in case of difficulty breathing, chest pain or low body fat occurs, help from a doctor is necessary – says our interlocutor. Signs of significant heart damage include chest pain, irregular heartbeat, lightness, swelling of the legs, or inability to lie flat. Indeed, if a serious heart inflammation is not detected in time and does not heal properly, it will result in permanent damage to the heart in terms of chronic heart failure or even fatal outcome.

Bacterial inflammation of the throat is also considered a serious complication of cold as it causes the onset of rheumatic fever.

– Acute rheumatic fever affects the most common heart valves and affects about 3% of patients who have not treated streptococcal throat infection with an appropriate antibiotic – says Professor Otasevic. – These patients may experience severe valve damage requiring surgical treatment and replacement.

Dr. Tatjana Radosavljevic, a pulmonologist, explains that when the bacteria attacks the sinuses, it causes a headache, a constant secretion of secretion by the dysfunction, causing a strong and persistent cough.

– Sinus infection, if not recognized, and lenses can enter into chronic inflammation – says Dr. Radosavljevic. – A common consequence of a cold is inflammation of the ear, which develops most often in children.

Our interlocutor says that inflammation of the lungs is one of the serious complications of colds. Generally, this occurs after an initial cure, when the patient suddenly receives a very high temperature, followed by low blood pressure and a cough.

– It should be emphasized that a viral infection can "open around the neck" but present allergies that can be expressed more strongly, especially when it is rhinitis and rhinitis. Allergic asthma – remarked Dr. Radosavljevic. – It is not uncommon that after a cold, a dry cough, persistent and coughing is a consequence of a kind of inflammation of the main respiratory tract. Indeed, in such cases, the virus slides the mucous membrane of the main respiratory tube, so that the nerve endings responsible for the onset of cough reflexes are directly exposed to the airflow, which leads to a persistent cough that can last for several weeks.

AND TREATMENT CAUSES COMPLICATIONS

DRUGS used to treat respiratory infections, primarily temperature suppression, such as acetylsalicylic acid and ibuprofen, may cause increased blood pressure, gastritis, or even stomach bleeding.

– These complications mainly affect people who have already had high blood pressure or stomach problems – says prof. Dr. Petar Otašević. – The risk of gastric bleeding is increased if patients already take some of the drugs that slow down blood clotting.
