What should not be done in any case with COVID-19? Doctors named 3 main mistakes
Although the coronavirus pandemic has been with us for more than a year, there are still a lot of rumors and myths hovering around it. Fortunately, people have already stopped believing in the conspiracy theory of mass extermination with the help of biological weapons… Nevertheless, until now they continue to do what they should not do in any case.
The doctors told about the three main mistakes with COVID-19, and we share with you.
One of the main mistakes of people faced with coronavirus is an attempt to cure it on their own. If you suspect symptoms of COVID-19, immediately contact a specialist! By the way, this rule also applies to other diseases, and the doctors explained why.
The fact is that every disease has a so-called "window" - a period in which it can be cured quickly and effectively, avoiding unpleasant consequences. This is usually the first week after the disease. If the patient reports the symptoms in time, and the doctors conduct an operative diagnosis and prescribe treatment, there is a chance that the disease will pass quickly and almost imperceptibly. If this moment is missed, the body will begin to weaken, the immune system will stop fighting the pathogen and the active phase of the disease will start.
Many people believe that an elevated temperature is not a cause for concern, but only a protective reaction of the body. Moreover, often people do not even measure their temperature when they are sick, but just drink handfuls of antiviral, in the hope that everything will pass.
However, doctors assure that the temperature is still a significant and dangerous symptom that cannot be ignored. If the temperature persists for several days in a row, this is a reason to consult a doctor. It is quite possible that there is a pathogen in the body that you do not even suspect. Or, after recovery, there are still microorganisms and viruses that can provoke a second wave of the disease.
It's even strange that in the 21st century - the century of technology and the rapid development of all spheres, including the healthcare sector - people still have to be persuaded to make a vaccine. But even worse, there are "smart guys" in the world who not only oppose vaccinations themselves, but also carry their ideas to the masses.
Think about yourself and those around you, if you have no contraindications - get immunized as soon as possible. After all, a vaccine is a sure way to protect people and prevent the worst from happening.
People were saved by vaccines from terrible diseases - diphtheria, polio, whooping cough, tetanus… It was mass vaccination that helped prevent the epidemic of smallpox at the time. But today people treat any vaccinations with caution, which is why they actually put their lives in even greater danger.
