Dr. Komarovsky advises against spending too much time in bed during a cold.
Dr. Komarovsky said that in case of any respiratory diseases, lying down has a very strong effect on the volume of respiratory movement, that is, it is harder to breathe, reports the Chronicle.info with reference to RBC-Ukraine.
&# 171;When it is impossible to lie down and breathe deeply — then the likelihood of complications associated with insufficient ventilation of the lungs is quite large. Therefore, the main recommendation of doctors for all protocols — bed rest is needed only when there are no other ways to avoid it», — informed the physician.
Most modern doctors in the world recommend avoiding bed rest as much as possible, if possible, Komarovsky added.
He cited as an example how now, even after operations, doctors force the patient not to stay too long, but get up, move, move.
«It is these recommendations that allow you to avoid most complications», — the doctor clarified.
Komarovsky said that one should not lie in bed, as, for example, the grandmothers of children are forced to do it.
«There is only one disease in which one must lie — it's diphtheria», — said Komarovsky.
