— You need to be hospitalized when complications develop. In particular, disorders of the respiratory system,” said Irina Tyshchenko, associate professor of the department of internal diseases of Volgograd State Medical University. — You can treat the flu at home, but you must follow your doctor’s instructions. Mild infections can be treated at home. However, I note that before treating the flu, you need to get laboratory confirmation that it is the flu. Now, in addition to coronavirus and influenza, there are a huge number of other acute respiratory viral infections.
General practitioner Irina Tyshchenko said that the flu can be identified by its symptoms: severe intoxication, severe headache, a sharp rise in temperature to 40 degrees, chills, nasal congestion and sore throat.
– Treatment itself includes taking antiviral drugs, alleviating the symptoms of the disease – taking antipyretics, using throat sprays, lozenges, nasal drops. All this is prescribed by the doctor! Under no circumstances should you self-medicate and, moreover, immediately start taking antibiotics. Remember, during the coronavirus pandemic, antibiotics disappeared from the shelves of pharmacies “Amoxiclav“? People started buying it en masse. Taking antibacterial drugs indiscriminately and in such quantities will lead to the fact that current infections cannot be defeated with antibiotics. The pathogens will simply become resistant to them, Irina Tyshchenko is sure. — Now the development of antibacterial drugs is not as fast as it was after the discovery of penicillin. Who knows how long it will take for people to learn to treat new mixed infections that are becoming more and more resistant to microbes and pathogens.
