Colds cannot be “treated” with alcohol, warned the doctor and TV presenter Alexander Myasnikov on the air of “Russia 1”. He explained that alcohol can only get worse.
If you drink alcohol at the first symptoms of a cold, really, it can “immediately become easier,” admitted Myasnikov. And he added “:” But then it will definitely roll over. ” If you drink alcohol again, your cold can get worse.
According to Myasnikov, there was no such thing in his practice that people suffering from coughs, runny nose and headaches happily drank alcohol and felt good.
Recall that in early December, 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 assured. He advised not to treat a runny nose, but simply to wait. If it’s ARVI, then the runny nose will go away on its own.
Myasnikov allowed rinsing the nose with a cold, but warned that the procedure must be done correctly. According to him, you need to tilt your head over 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.
