Colds did not diminish with the approach of spring
The spring colds are less frequent than in the winter – at least it shows statistics. Many believe that the reason for this is spring fatigue, lack of sunlight and vitamins. But there is another more important reason – Spring viruses are much more active. And to overcome them successfully, we need to change their methods of protection. The air temperature of -3 to 5 degrees and high humidity typical of spring months are ideal conditions for respiratory viruses. Rino-viruses only (those who primarily produce fever) do not feel comfortable. However, even if they are able to live up to 3 hours on hands and various objects. Yet this is far less than vital period adeno-viruses example – at 4 degrees to 70 active days! Activity of influenza viruses and cold depends not only on temperature but also humidity. It was found that at room temperature flu virus is spreading most rapidly when the humidity is relatively low (20-35%) or relatively high (above 85%). At 50% humidity that reduces the activity of the virus. These facts confirm the well-known recommendations for frequent ventilation of the premises, the placing of air humidifiers and more often out in the fresh air. But everything changes when the air temperature 5 degrees. The virus becomes active in high humidity – ie in warm and wet spring weather. Here is what is due to the strong wave of the March “spring” flu.
Spring protection
Immunity at the end of winter as a rule decreases, and this means that in response to penetration of the virus produces less protective proteins – interferon. Therefore, the body is urgently needed antiviral drugs:
- Resources, stimulating production in the body’s own interferon;
- Nasal ointment and interferon oxolyn salve that destroy the virus got on the lining of the nose (they must be placed every 2 hours);
- Means, deprived of the possibility of virus replication (remantadin, amantadine).
To prevent these funds should be adopted under a special scheme. In all cases, they are granted only on medical prescription. If you have fatigue, sleep no more than 5 hours a day, you have chronic illness and a year get sick at least 3 times with interferon preparations will not help. Look for Immunology and make your blood analysis for investigation of its own interferon. Do not forget that these preparations should not be taken more often than 3-4 times a year, because tolerance can occur. However, if your virus is knocked out, Do not delay treatment – must take extreme measures literally the first hours of the disease. Otherwise the risk of complications is too great – tired and weak body in spring is especially vulnerable not only from viruses but also bacteria.
From the outset of the viral infection to prevent bacterial complications, it makes sense to adopt Lisa, ie destroyers of bacteria. They stimulate the local immunity of the mouth and thus accelerate recovery.
