In such soda, at least, made according to the classic recipe, contains caffeine. Its moderate pain-killing property and ability to enhance the effect of some analgesics are noted. About this O. Chistik told “RIA Novosti”. Sometimes the drink can help if the head bothers a person who, with the systematic use of coffee, gave up caffeine. It is 0.33 liters of cola about 32 mg. In the described case, it is permissible to drink 150-330 ml of soda.

It as a liquid can help with pain caused by mild dehydration. But regularly improve health in this way is not advised due to the presence of about 35 g of sugar in a third of a liter of classic cola.

The doctor also listed alternatives. The water is optimal for dehydration. Unsweetened tea or a moderate amount of coffee is suitable in case of a lack of caffeine. When overwork is better to rest and sleep. If there is a need for anesthesia, it is worth focusing on drugs recommended to the patient by specialists.

Oh. The cleaner reminded that urgent medical care is needed if the head fell ill suddenly and very intensely, while speech is impaired, there is weakness in the limbs, facial asymmetry, high fever and stiffness of the neck muscles. You should also consult a doctor after a head injury, in a situation where there are significant differences from the usual episodes of headache.
