Now everything that concerns information about colds is most relevant.

You can catch cold at any time of the year, but at the junctions between seasons the risk of catching a cold, sore throat, coughing and fever is significantly increased. Therefore, doctors once again told everything you need to know about the common cold, and at the same time refuted the most popular myths concerning this disease.

Many people still believe in these incorrect statements about colds:.

If the cold does not heal, then it will outgrow the flu. In fact, the cold and flu cause completely different viruses, so one can not go to another in any way.

Raspberry tea and honey help cure a cold better than tablets. These folk remedies are checked by people, but this does not mean that you can rely on them only for colds. It is necessary to consult with the therapist and take the drugs that he will appoint.

A cold does not need to be taken sickly. Doctors categorically oppose such a careless attitude of people towards health. The thing is that the first days of the disease, the symptoms of flu and cold can be identical, but with the flu, the disease "on the legs" is extremely dangerous and complications that affect the heart and respiratory system can develop. Therefore, it is advisable to comply with bed rest and call a doctor at home, as soon as there are signs of cold or viral disease.

You can go out into people only when all the symptoms of a cold are eliminated.

Physicians are not so categorical in this matter. The main thing is to be at the hospital in an acute period of the disease, because at that time a person is a carrier of the virus and can infect others. Already in 5-7 days after the onset of the illness the therapist can close the hospital sheet.

Trust only the information that the therapist has provided to you, otherwise you risk treating something that you actually do not have.
