For the prevention of influenza first and foremost turn OFF the TV.

The candidate of medical Sciences Viktor Topolyansky — about the flu and the rules of self-defense from malicious virus.

For the prevention of influenza it is advisable first of all to turn off the TV. Or at least try not to watch any medical gear. All the advice that You'll hear most often do not correspond to any medical concepts or, at times, basic common sense.

For example, in order not to get telesecondary offer to wear four-layer gauze bandage or even a respirator. Just today on the subway I saw a few people in such dressings. I immediately wanted to come up and ask how they are healthy? Gauze bandages is good in the Karakum desert during a sand storm when you need to protect you from breathing the sand, but not in Moscow.

Gauze bandage can not protect from the virus as a respirator. The virus is too small, it is able to penetrate through any bandage. (My note: do not give up the mask from the virus it will not protect, but from the saliva and spray, with sneezing and kallanai sick person, will save).

Will not help, unfortunately, and the vaccine. By itself, vaccination is necessary for children: they, for example, are immunized against polio. Geologists who are sent to work in Siberia, from encephalitis. It is a deadly disease and if the man she still got sick, to help him is almost impossible. But in the case of influenza vaccination does not work. The fact that types, subtypes, and strains there is an incredible variety, and to vaccinate should not just "flu", but from a particular strain, an epidemic which occurs in the region. The virus itself is constantly mutating, each year the person is found with a new strain, against which it is necessary to produce the new vaccine. Occasionally there are hybrids. For example, swine flu is a hybrid of a human virus and of the virus, which previously had sick pigs, and the famous "Spanish flu" of 1918-1920 was caused, in all likelihood, a hybrid of bird and human strain.

The virus can change so quickly that a vaccine that worked in the beginning of the epidemic, towards the end loses its effectiveness. Unfortunately, our service, which is used to detect modification of the virus, is now virtually destroyed. Information about the virus we get from Europe, but not always this information corresponds to the Russian reality. Therefore, as a rule, flu shots are ineffective. Ineffective also recommended medicines like "Arbidol", since they operate mainly on the principle of placebo. Make them makes sense only to those who are willing to believe in their effectiveness unequivocally.

How to protect yourself during an outbreak? The best method of prevention is the increase of protective forces. Remember, in Soviet times, children were sent to children's sanatoriums? There, they walked barefoot, swam and sunbathed. The last point is particularly important. Under our skin is the so-called "fat cells" that are responsible for immunity and the body's reaction to the presence of any foreign substance. It is a kind of advanced detachments of our immune system, standing on its protection, a kind of Cossack patrols. Due to the exposure to the sun these cells are "trained", and if the summer people, including an adult and not just child enough time was spent outside, playing beach volleyball or work on the cottage — it will be the best way to prevent seasonal infections. In the summer if you are not able to relax, alternative means — strong black hot tea with lemon and this is my own recipe — rum.

Brew black tea, add honey, preferably a light colour, lemon — always with the peel, since the peel contains essential nutrients. To this add two teaspoons of rum or brandy in a glass. Alcohol, especially hot, very quickly absorbed into the intestinal wall and first enters into a small, so-called pulmonary circulation. In the lungs, alcohol evaporates. That is why, if you drink even a very small quantity of warm alcohol, smells alcohol — vapors rise from the alveoli to the nasal passages and actually disinfect the respiratory tract, through which, in fact, the virus enters the body. Two teaspoons — is a reference volume, children need to decrease the dose of, well, an adult can afford and two tablespoons if you really want.

If you are already sick, do not rush to grab for the antibiotics. They only hurt you. Temperature, even if it rises above 39 degrees — a sign that your body intensely fights the virus. If you can't tolerate the heat better bring down the temperature paracetamol or aspirin (My note: aspirin is contraindicated in children, it can cause stomach bleeding. Only paracetamol or ibuprofen). Antibiotics are weapons of mass destruction. They destroy in the body practically the entire flora, which meet on the way, including useful, which in itself is fraught with complications.

Antibiotics should only under strict indications physician. How to know when it's worth to use? And know by the color of sputum. Usually infection is accompanied by cough. If the mucus becomes yellow and especially green — time antibiotics came. But not before.

In addition, antibiotics are often not grasping in order to remove heat, and to resolve other symptoms, e.g. inflammation of the respiratory tract. This is what happens when we have a sore throat. The discomfort in this case are not caused by the inflammation and swelling that accompanies it. Swelling relieve the so-called antihistaminic drugs (claritin, tavegil, etc.). They differ in effectiveness and side effects, such as drowsiness. But any of them is able to reduce swelling, and therefore, and eliminate the accompanying discomfort.

Speaking of cough: if the cough is dry, then in any case do not need to take expectorant drugs, they only strengthen it, because if there is sputum, there is nothing to cough. Unfortunately, effective tablets from dry cough after codeine preparations are banned, does not exist. Codeine is opioid drug. Once the tincture of opium were given even to pregnant women in hospitals, and it made sense, but since how to use codeine was not really effective drugs cough left. So once again: hot drink — strong tea or warm milk.

And another note: it is recommended (in particular, Dr. Komorowski) frequent airing of the room in which you are (the recommended temperature of +20), frequent hydration of the premises (in any way — even spray, at least turn on the humidifier, or just wash the floors with plain water morning and evening), moisturizing nose by any medium, although plain water with salt, especially in the heating season, and ill — drinking plenty of fluids, even forcibly, but to drink-drink-drink.

Just in case, sign You, and be healthy!published
