Many experts are inclined to believe that the best protection against COVID-19 coronavirus is compliance with basic hygiene rules and strong immunity. Antiviral drugs are prescribed strictly individually by a doctor after a series of certain tests. It is important to distinguish the symptoms of the disease and take preventive measures so as not to become infected.
Remedies for coronavirus COVID-19: what should not be taken
To date, there are no medicines and vaccines for coronavirus yet, but they are being developed by scientists around the world. In medicine, symptomatic treatment is still used. Increasingly, there are discussions about the effectiveness of some antiviral drugs. Russian doctors have an opinion about this and do not exclude their admission. All these drugs perfectly help the body cope with a viral infection, but how they will act with respect to the COVID-19 coronavirus is not yet known.
Important! With coronavirus, antibiotics should not be taken. They are good for bacterial infections, but they cannot affect viruses.
Important! The mask does not protect a healthy person from coronavirus. Only the infected puts it on so as not to infect others. And then, it should be changed every 2-3 hours and thrown away, and not used repeatedly.
The difference between a coronavirus and a common cold: what you should pay attention to
Clearly distinguishing coronavirus from the flu or the common cold is often very problematic. And all because most of the symptoms are similar. Viral infections are very dangerous in that they can cause a serious complication, which in the worst case will lead to death.
Cold
Body temperature can rise for several days to 37-38 ° C, but does not reach high boundaries. Then it normalizes. Nasal congestion, frequent sneezing and constant transparent discharge from the nose are observed. Sore throat and redness may also occur.
Flu
Weakness, headache and muscle aches, fever in the first 3-5 days to 38-40 ° C. The man is sluggish, his appetite decreases. Dry cough may occur.
Coronavirus COVID-19
In humans, in the presence of this virus, a significant increase in body temperature is observed, similar to the manifestation of influenza. Most often, it reaches 38.5-40 ° C. Weakness and apathy, dry cough. A distinctive symptom of flu and colds is difficulty breathing when coughing.
It is important to remember: if, against the background of symptoms such as fever and cough, shortness of breath has begun, it is worth immediately contacting a doctor for help.
There are differences between all these diseases. Although it happens that they all pass with a minimum of symptoms or no symptoms at all.
In half of the cases in China, the course of the coronavirus took place with virtually no clear symptoms. To accurately determine what caused the disease, a blood test is done in the laboratory. It is only so confirmed today.
Ways of transmission of the coronavirus COVID-19: from which it dies
The main route of transmission is from an infected person to a healthy person by airborne droplets. That is, when coughing and sneezing, small droplets fall on a healthy person, surfaces and objects. Coronavirus enters the human body through the mucous membranes of the mouth, nose and eyes.
Important! Many worry that coronavirus can be infected through the premises. If earlier this was laughed at and claimed that this is impossible, now the opinion has become different.
The virus is really transmitted only from person to person. But if during the collection of parcels an employee who is infected with the virus sneezes during a cough, then of course he will be able to get to the surface of objects. The virus can be stored in a hermetically sealed package for up to 48 hours, if the conditions for it are favorable. The same goes for bananas.
Coronavirus is afraid of 70% ethanol and 1% chlorhexidine (miramistin). These funds are able to stop its reproduction in 2 minutes.
At a temperature of + 60 ° C, the virus dies in 15 minutes, at + 33 ° C – in 15 hours. Quartz lamps can remove the virus from the surface in 2-15 minutes. But to be in the same room when working with a lamp is dangerous for a person.
Currently, the coronavirus COVID-19 is still spreading around the world, there are no medicines and vaccines for it. But many experts are trying to find a way out of this situation. However, antiviral drugs that have already been developed previously do not treat people from coronavirus.
