When you are sick, you should not self-medicate, as this can lead to complications. A person without certain knowledge will hardly be able to distinguish ARVI from the flu, which will only complicate the recovery process.
Therefore, it is important to seek help from specialists in time.
If this is not done, a number of unpleasant consequences are possible.
Georgy Sapronov spoke about this in more detail, writes Moscow 24 .
According to the doctor, sometimes the flu can cause body pain. Moreover, such a problem is possible even after recovery.
But these are not all the disadvantages.
As Sapronov emphasized in a conversation with journalists, the flu can provoke heart problems.
The doctor also said that older people are at the greatest risk in this case.
The symptom may be quite vague. For example, there is pronounced weakness, shortness of breath in the absence of pneumonia and with weak physical activity.
Sapronov added that in extremely rare cases the flu virus can cause encephalitis.
