In the cold season, the chance of getting the flu increases. If you could not protect yourself from the virus, it is important to take treatment seriously - complications are possible, according to Pannochka, an Internet publication for girls and women from 14 to 35 years old.. net Doctors warn: of all SARS, influenza is the most dangerous. He threatens with unpredictable consequences. If you carry it on your feet and do not allow the body to completely defeat the virus, the disease can return and provoke severe complications after the flu.. What kind?
Pneumonia The flu on my legs returned after a week or two with a fever, chest pain and cough? There is a suspicion that this is secondary pneumonia - a serious complication after the flu. Due to a decrease in immunity, bacteria colonize the airways, which cause pneumonia.. Its main symptom is a cough that worsens when lying on your back or trying to inhale. At first it is dry, but then greenish sputum appears. Shortness of breath, cyanotic pallor of the skin should also alert. But there may not be a high temperature.. If you find such symptoms in yourself, do not delay the visit to the doctor.. Pneumonia is a very dangerous disease!
Bronchitis Bronchitis differs from pneumonia in that the cough in his case usually remains dry, and the temperature is rarely higher than 37.5 °. Chest pain and other symptoms of these diseases often coincide, so only a doctor can make an accurate diagnosis.. If the doctor determines that there is sputum in the bronchi, mucolytic (with poorly separating sputum) and expectorants will help. It is possible that you will have to take antibiotics. As an adjunct to the prescribed treatment, an infusion of marshmallow roots (expectorant) can help. With bronchitis, a decoction or infusion of mother-and-stepmother can be used as a mucolytic.
Sinusitis Influenza has already passed, but the nose is still blocked? May have developed sinusitis (inflammation of one of the four paranasal sinuses). It differs from a common rhinitis in duration. Pain in the head, especially in the frontal region and the bridge of the nose, fatigue and insomnia can prevail for weeks. You can temporarily relieve the condition with the help of inhalation: add 5-7 drops of essential oil of mint, tea tree or pine to a liter of hot water and breathe with steam. But keep in mind: any procedures, including inhalation, can be used only after being examined by a doctor..
Nephritis and cystitis Influenza virus spreads rapidly throughout the body, which can cause inflammation of the kidneys (nephritis) or bladder (cystitis). Their symptoms are difficult to confuse with something: frequent and painful urination, pain in the lower back or lower abdomen, cloudy urine, often mixed with blood. Along with the antibiotic therapy prescribed by the doctor, it is recommended to limit the consumption of fatty, fried and salty foods. Drink cranberry and lingonberry fruit drinks: they have natural anti-inflammatory properties. With cystitis, you can use not only berries, but also lingonberry leaves. They have an antiseptic effect.
Myositis Sometimes prolonged flu can turn into acute myositis. This is an inflammation that affects the muscles (most commonly the neck, lower back, legs and chest). It is easy to determine the affected area:
when pressed, it responds with acute pain, the skin on it looks swollen, and seals are often felt under it. Usually, the discomfort is worse when driving, at night, or when the weather changes.. At the same time, the temperature does not always rise. The most dangerous thing in myositis is its consequences (up to muscle atrophy). Remember that treating complications of the flu can take a lot of time and effort.. Therefore, when suspicious symptoms appear, do not hesitate to see a doctor.!
