The most important mistake people make when they have a cold is to stay active. About this “Moscow 24” said general practitioner, immunologist Irina Yartseva.
“The first and most important mistake people make is not paying attention to the cold and continuing to go to work. This is dangerous because the person risks at least delaying his recovery. Bacterial complications may also be added. “There is also a risk of infecting everyone around,” explained the expert.
It would also be a mistake to rub it with vodka or vinegar to bring down the temperature, the doctor continued. According to him, these toxic products are easily absorbed by the skin, so wipe them off with water. Another common mistake is using antibiotics during an illness caused by viruses.
“Antibiotics do not work on viruses and do not speed healing. Poisoning the body again means damage to your immunity. Antibiotics are only necessary for bacterial infections,” Yartseva concluded.
