When you shouldn't rely on yourself.
Doctor Komarovsky told what signs of an acute respiratory viral infection are a mandatory reason to see a doctor, reports the Chronicle.info with reference to RBC-Ukraine. the fourth day of ARVI and body temperature is above normal on the seventh day of illness — these are unequivocal reasons for meeting with a doctor.
How exactly can you not treat SARS according to Komarovsky
The pediatrician has repeatedly stated that in no case should antibiotics be prescribed for acute respiratory infections. Many doctors have done and continue to do this.
«There is not a single viral disease whose treatment protocols include antibiotics», — assures Komarovsky.
An erroneous theory says that during the fight against a viral infection, the body is weakened, which can lead to complications caused by bacteria.
«If we prescribe an antibiotic, then pneumonia still occurs, but only because of the bacteria that survived after the antibiotic that we prescribed», — the doctor assures.
According to him, the prescription of antibiotics for viral infections not only does not reduce, but increases the likelihood of bacterial complications by 4-10 times.
