Therapist Viktor Lishin said that self-treatment of acute respiratory viral infections and acute respiratory infections or the transfer of diseases to the “legs” can lead to the development of arthritis, arthrosis and endocarditis, that is, inflammatory heart problems. This has been reported URA.RU.
According to him, when people get sick on their own without medical help, they begin to be treated incorrectly, for example, they take some pills, such as antibiotics for ARVI, but they do not help with a viral infection.
“And this self-medication is dangerous for health. You can damage your immune system, you can experience complications. If you endure the disease “on your feet”, you can have problems with the joints, heart, especially if it is a bacterial sore throat with a coating in the throat. You may develop arthritis, arthrosis, endocarditis, ” said Lishin.
According to him, prolonged improper treatment can lead to the development of chronic diseases. As a result, with each new cold in the future, a person will be faced with the development of chronic respiratory diseases – rhinitis, tonsillitis and bronchitis.
Former Deputy Director of Clinical and Analytical Studies of Rospotrebnadzor Natalya Pshenichnaya Central Research Institute of Epidemiology saidHe said that the coronavirus is now practically indistinguishable from other acute respiratory viral infections in terms of symptoms and course of the disease, but can exacerbate various diseases.
