If you have health problems, you should not self-medicate or choose folk remedies.

This can only harm you.

For example, when a sore throat occurs, some people prefer to do without medical help and turn to folk remedies.

In this case, they use components that only irritate the already inflamed mucous membrane. We are talking about onions, garlic and ginger.

Professor Andrey Tyazhelnikov spoke about this.

"Inhalations of hot steam over potatoes are also unsafe. Even inhalations using a nebulizer should not be done without a doctor's prescription," the publication " Moscow 24 " quotes the specialist as saying.

The doctor also warned about the dangers of warming up, which can help the infection spread throughout the body.

The situation is aggravated if the patient has a high temperature.

In addition, Tyazhelnikov said that he would not cause harm if there was a problem.

You should choose warm drinks.

He noted the safety of herbal infusions, tea with lemon, and a mixture of honey and radish.

The doctor also warned that you shouldn't drink cold water.
