The myths surrounding the treatment of colds so that you can pass a little bit is a book with their demystification.
In case of detection of mild symptoms of colds and acute respiratory viral infections (ARVI) does not make sense to buy drugs, said in a Facebook VA. Minister of Health of Ukraine, Ulyana Suprun.
"It would seem that the flu – the normal state of our body that survives thousands of people, especially in the fall-winter of the year. But the myths surrounding the treatment of colds so that you can pass a little bit is a book with their demystification?
Colds or flu with mild symptoms only treated the bed and fluids for 3 to 5 days. The body can cope with the virus itself. As for the drugs that reduce the pain in the throat and relieve coughs abroad, they are not used because they have not proven effective in treating these symptoms, they have only briefly relieved the patient's condition .
The flu symptoms develop dramatically, almost instantly, with temperatures up to 40 degrees, with sore eyes, sore muscles, or fever. In this case, you should immediately consult a doctor and not self-medication!
Do not forget that to fight colds, our immune system has enough resources. The essential – do not interfere?
➡ Vaccinating against influenza, a vaccine that protects you throughout the influenza season, will help to create immunity against the virus.
Respect the rules of personal hygiene and wash your hands often well.
➡Always ventilate the area and spend more time in fresh air.
➡ Balanced and healthy sleep and physical activity are also effective ways to prevent diseases.
IllIf sick, stay home. Thus, you protect yourself against complications that can cause illness and do not transmit the infection to other people.
➡Create the conditions in your body so that it can fight the virus – rest without unnecessary stress, drink plenty of fluid to reduce body temperature (if above 38.5 degrees). International protocols in the treatment of SARS in the first place, I advise you to take paracetamol (to reduce fever) in combination with ibuprofen.
➡Do not buy drugs without a prescription! For example, antibiotics. Because viral infections can not be treated with antibiotics. They do not decrease, but rather increase the risk of complications.

➡Do not heal yourself! Be sure to consult your family doctor about the treatment. "
