Kalujans are reminded how to properly treat a cold

First of all, it is not recommended to drink antibiotics without a prescription and bring down the temperature of 37.5 degrees. Also, do not smear the skin around the throat with iodine or pure alcohol, try to get sick on the legs.

“Do not swallow antibiotics without prescription – they do not work against viruses, but can harm. Do not bring down a temperature of 37.5 – this is part of the immune response. Do not wrap yourself in three blankets and do not create cold conditions, do not soar your feet in boiling water and do not breathe over potatoes, said Alexander Umnov, senior lecturer of the Department of Surgery of the Medical Faculty of the State University of Education.

In an interview with Lenta.ru, he said that at the first symptoms of a cold, you need to drink more warm liquid, ventilate the room and humidify the air. The food should be light.

If there is shortness of breath, severe pain or an increase in temperature, the expert advises to consult a doctor.
