Hello! I have been a doctor for 21 years. My name is Georgy Olegovich Sapego. In this article I will again answer popular questions.
Question: How beneficial is hardening for immunity?
Answer: Personally, I do not believe in hardening. Now, in the official recommendations for the treatment of colds, they specifically say that they do not get sick from the cold. It seems that everyone has learned it. Only here they forgot about hardening in the official recommendations. Because hardening is the tradition of individual states. If you don't get sick from the cold, then there is no point in getting used to the cold. It is better to eat right and move more. If walks in the fresh air are considered hardening, then yes - walk. But to pour ice water, in my opinion, there is no point.
Question: But what about those people who were tempered during the war?
Answer: During the war, there was more natural selection. And before the war there was natural selection. Then there were no antibiotics and no cesarean section was performed to the right and to the left. Not all children survived, but those who survived were tough.
Question: But what about chronic stress? Does he gradually temper people?
Answer: Chronic stress is more likely to drain people. There is even such a thing - broken heart syndrome. This is when prolonged stress, anxiety and adrenaline damage the heart. There is pain like a heart attack and heart failure. A classic example is when a passenger sleeps at an airport hotel. He was so worried about the noise of planes at night that in the morning he was hospitalized with a heart attack.
Question: Is it possible to pick out a molluscum contagiosum in a child? Isn't that cruel?
Answer: This is the so-called curettageand it's a good way to treat molluscum contagiosum. Scary, but without any chemistry and burns.
Question: And how to properly squeeze out molluscum contagiosum at home?
Answer: They usually do not pick it out at home, because this is how it spreads. It is better to entrust the treatment to a doctor. The virus that causes molluscum contagiosum is itself a relative of smallpox. Smallpox can leave scars in its wake. The more carefully the shellfish is removed, the less chances of scarring will remain.
