TV presenter and physician Alexander Myasnikov ridiculed the methods of treating the common cold popular among Russians.
According to the doctor, in most cases (35-50%), a runny nose with sneezing and fever is caused by a rhinovirus. “Someone sticks garlic in the nose, someone onions, someone heats up with chicken eggs. This entertainment does not work, “Myasnikov said during the program” On the Most Important “on the Russia 1 TV channel.
The teledoctor advises not to treat a runny nose, but simply to wait: “If this is an acute viral disease, the runny nose goes away on its own.”
At the same time, Myasnikov allowed rinsing the nose with a runny nose, but warned that the procedure must be done correctly. According to him, you need to tilt your head in front of the sink and start rinsing. With a chronic rhinitis, the TV presenter called for attention to antihistamines. “Chronic sinusitis is not treated with antibiotics, not with punctures, and you yourself know that. He is treated with antihistamines, ”the doctor said.
Earlier, Myasnikov warned the Russians about the non-obvious sign of a heart attack, and also informed about the risk of an avian flu pandemic.
