How to properly cope with sneezing.
Some methods of struggle against the cold, that even our grandmothers used, science is still open to doubt.
What are the most common misconceptions regarding the treatment of fever?
In the case of high temperatures should be warm and sweat. It is not true! If the cover with a thick blanket to maintain artificially high temperatures, and it disturbs our thermoregulation. This is strengthened by strain on the heart and blood vessels, which can cause palpitations, shortness of breath and sudden blood pressure jumps. Most importantly, so you will not take off heat. On the contrary, it will easily break if the body of patients with cold water or rubbing his forehead to put cold compresses. And even when you are sick do not need to warm. Surely you will sweat, so you will not go down the slightest draft. You can only further complicate the disease. When a person is cold, it must lie in bed. Incorrectly ! There is no need for a person who sneezes and coughs and put to bed. The point is that the shifts in long-term ventilation reduces lung and bronchus, and the mucus builds up in them. And because the infection is “down” from the top down airways, those who choose to cure flu risk of bronchitis and pneumonia. It does not mean that the patient has to go to work and there sown viruses, but it is free to walk around the house and perform all common tasks easier. At the same time care should be taken to wash hands as often as not to infect family members. You need to eat more often and not to the body loses power. It is very important what we eat when we have a fever. The digestion of fatty foods or foods rich in proteins the body uses a lot of time and energy, and all patients must force the body to focus on the fight against infection. This means that the meat products and soups with meat maximize avoidance.
You need to eat foods that are easily digested and do not stay long in the stomach: fresh and boiled vegetables, fruits, especially south, juices and vitamin drinks. It should perhaps be noted that influenza virus does not like carbonated environment, so it is recommended slightly carbonated mineral water with added vitamin C or fresh lemon juice. Mineral water also helps us to expel drugs from the liver, such as paracetamol, which often take when we are sick or have a fever.
