If you don’t treat ARVI in time, you can get bronchitis, pneumonia, and even meningitis.
General practitioner Alexander Verbovikov warned about this.
The specialist’s statement is cited by BELTA+ .
What happens if you trigger a common ARVI
As the doctor explained, if you do not treat ARVI in time, you can get serious complications.
If we talk about a disease like flu, the most common complication is pneumonia, Verbovikov noted.
Also, ARVI can lead to bronchitis, laryngitis, laryngotracheitis, otitis.
Complications related to the central nervous system are also possible. For example, meningitis may occur.
These cases should definitely be considered at the level of a city or regional hospital, the doctor added.
