When doctors get sick, they get their notes of the relevant sections (as has been done before), and now rather call colleagues or refer to the "doctor to Google."
If you feel that you are about to get sick, in any case,
- Do not go to the gym (If the disease is viral, even after recovery you can not go there about 2 weeks, otherwise you can get a "second wave)
- Do not take a shower
- do not drink alcohol.
Stay in bed: so you do not waste your efforts on muscle work, and more resources for the remains of the immune system.
Do not overeat. Perhaps you notice that the animals, if sick, stop eating and only drinking water. That's the same thing is worth doing, and man.
Drink plenty of warm waterCan lemon, aloe or herbs (mint, raspberry leaf, etc.)
The room should have plenty of fresh air, And you should not be exposed to drafts.
If the temperature is above 38.1 degrees,
you can take an antipyretic (Now the pharmacy a lot of non-prescription drugs). But if the temperature is lower, you will not shoot down it. In such temperature range organism successfully fighting off an infection. But if the degree of the above, it weakens and its own "army".Very help adaptogens (Substances that softly supports cortisol production) - Chinese magnolia in larger than usual doses ashwagandha and other means.
Also, I recommend multivitamins.
Although clinical studies have not shown a clear link between the intake of large doses of vitamin With a decrease in the severity and course of colds, I would not have neglected this vitamin. He is a very important and valuable, the body can not produce itself comes only from food. And it is very bad to be in short supply of vitamin C in such a difficult period, when all the forces go to fight inflammation.
Do not take antibiotics without a prescription. They aim to fight bacteria and you may have a viral infection. Even the doctor, when patients do not take any antibiotics in the same day. This is a very powerful and dangerous weapon, you can not use it without a serious reason.
All medicines and vitamins should be taken not on an empty stomach (at a minimum Eat, mindful of the animal), if the instructions are not written differently.
When to see a doctor? Look for well-being. If after a couple of days of not getting any better, call a specialist.
Your Dr. Pavlov.
