At the first signs of illness, some people start going to the bathhouse or drinking alcohol, thinking that this will help them cope with the disease.

But in reality, these are mistakes that only lead to additional problems.

Immunologist Vladimir Bolibok spoke about this in a conversation with URA.RU.

As the specialist noted, blood clotting is disrupted, and the effect can last for several days.

If a person goes to a sauna, problems with temperature begin, and the patient begins to work under overload.

In addition, as the doctor noted, some patients who encounter the problem begin to treat themselves, rather than following the recommendations of doctors. As a result, this leads to a deterioration in health.

As Bolibok noted, during such a period one must remember about anti-inflammatory drugs.

Another mistake associated with treatment during this period is taking antibiotics.

In fact, they destroy microflora, but not the virus. Therefore, you should not choose medications on your own, they should be prescribed by a doctor.
