Named ways to recover from SARS

Those who have had ARVI should avoid heavy physical exertion, get enough sleep, spend more time in the fresh air, establish a balanced diet and drinking regimen, and also create a positive attitude. Andrey Tyazhelnikov, chief specialist in health care for the adult population of the Moscow Health Department, said this in an interview with RIA Novosti.

According to him, in most people, recovery from SARS occurs in 5-7 days, and in some cases in three days. During this period, the symptoms that are most often found in colds and viral diseases, and the temperature gradually disappear. But when symptoms of SARS appear, it is very important to start treatment immediately. Including both the severity of the course and the possible negative consequences after the disease will depend on this.

“When symptoms appear, you can seek advice from a doctor in several ways: without an appointment, come to an appointment at any clinic convenient for the patient or make an appointment online with the doctor on duty at your clinic, leave a request for an audio consultation, during which the doctor will be able to remotely open a sick leave and give recommendations for treatment. During an illness, you can contact the doctor through telemedicine technologies, that is, it will be a regular doctor’s examination, only online,” Tyazhelnikov said.

However, he pointed out, “regardless of the severity of the course of the disease, the virus depletes the body.” “In this regard, even after recovery, rapid fatigue, residual catarrhal phenomena can be observed. Therefore, it is necessary to observe a sparing regimen and not overload the body, giving it the opportunity to recover. It is necessary to observe a sufficient drinking regime to remove intoxication, adhere to a light menu in nutrition, including more healthy foods containing vitamins and trace elements in the diet – fresh vegetables, fruits, fruit drinks, protein. With SARS, vitamins C, D are recommended, ”the doctor listed.

He also advises avoiding heavy physical exertion, getting enough sleep. “Carefully monitor compliance with the regime. You need to get enough sleep, at least eight hours, spend more time in the fresh air, establish a balanced diet and drinking regimen. It is important to create a positive attitude. Look for reasons to be in a good mood and motivation to be healthy. Plan something interesting so that the body receives a command to find strength for this, ”Tyazhelnikov emphasized.

According to the expert, a person is completely healthy when he feels alert, and there are no residual effects, weakness. This usually occurs one to two weeks after the acute illness. “If the state of fatigue, weakness does not go away, then you should seek the advice of a doctor. After ARVI, asthenic syndrome can develop, or, as it is called, chronic fatigue syndrome, other complications that are important not to miss, ”he warned.

Recall also that earlier Tyazhelnikov did not rule out that against the background of weakened immunity after SARS, relapses and complications may occur.
