It is obvious that with the beginning of spring term the quantity of ARVI rises.
The symptoms of ARVI: headache, pain in eye-balls, cold turkey, fever, rheum then cough, sore throat…
On second day it is necessary to see a doctor.

General tips for ARVI infected:
1. Mild half-bedrest regimen;
2. Regular air change;
3. Dairy and vegetal light meals 4-6 times per day in small portions. During first days drink to 3 liters of warm liquid every day: camomile, linden, clary tea; fruit-drinks, stewed fruits, juices;
4. It is necessary to consume products which include phytoncide: garlic, onion, horse radish, black radish;
5. Wet cleaning of the room with desinfectants (door-handles, sanitary rooms, forks, cups);
6. Wash the hands frequently.
Special attitude to temperature
The body temperature below 38.20 C isn’t necessary to be sent down. With this temperature a huge quantity of white blood corpuscles with high ingestion rate get into blood, an organism begins to product human interferon – chemists don’t have its analogue.
And when the temperature sends down lower than 38.20 C, then it should be waited for complication and prepare to long-lasting treating, as neither sufficient quantity of white blood cells, nor producing of interferon happen.
When the temperature above 38.50 C it is necessary to take a pill of paracetamol (after a meal!).
The temperature can be sent down by drinking raspberry, linden, or raspberry and linden tea that provoke diaphoresis. Sufficient measure is rubdowning of the body every 15-30 minutes with liquor: water – vinegar 1:1. Zones of rubdowning: neck, arms (under arm-pits, anconal fossae, wrists), legs (perineal zones, under knees fossae, tibio-tarsics).
During ARVI it isn’t allowed to use aspirin (it provokes bleeding in gastro-intestinal tract – so called Ray’s syndrome) and during first five days - antibiotics.
Drinking coldflue, ferveks, flucold with the body temperature below 38.0 C is harmful for organism.
As a doctor with large experience I can advise a recipe of antiviral, antiinfluenza, antianginose cocktail.
Put into a cup 1 desert spoon of raspberry jam, cognac, butter and add a half of a desert spoon of baking powder. Then add a glass of just boiled water or milk. Use 1 cup 3 times per day during being ill. In case of a sore throat (acute pharyngitis) 1 cup before going to sleep 5-10 days. After drinking this cocktail you mustn’t go outside.
Remember, that in spring an organism is weaken and don’t hurry to take hats and coats off! Such complication as meningitis is often in March.
Be healthy! Everything depends on you!
