Dealing with the flu and bypassing these three misunderstandings! Can you really drink water？

　　　　　　 CCTV News:Recently, the flu epidemic has been high in many areas. In this regard, the doctor reminded that three major misunderstandings should be avoided in dealing with the flu.

　　　　　　 You can’t judge the severity of the disease just by the temperature.

　　　　　　 Recently, the flu virus has come to the fore, and many people have been recruited. The doctor said that it is wrong for patients to judge the severity of their illness only by their body temperature, regardless of the common cold or influenza. It is necessary to combine the patient’s own appetite, physical strength, mental state and other comprehensive factors to judge the severity of their illness.

　　　　　　 Zheng Rongxiu, chief physician of the General Hospital of Tianjin Medical University, said: "Actually, judging the severity of the illness, body temperature is not an absolute indicator. Recurrence of fever is a very common symptom in the course of colds and flu. Because fever itself is a normal response of our body to the pathogen, the process of fever is actually a manifestation of our body’s struggle with the pathogen, so when the pathogen is not completely removed from the body, fever must be repeated. The most important thing to judge (flu) is to look at a state of the patient’s whole body. What is his spirit? "

　　　　　　 It is a misunderstanding to take medicine "just for a few days"

　　　　　　 In addition, some flu patients take some cold medicine, and their symptoms are relieved, so they think they are cured. In fact, this is also a misunderstanding. The doctor said that cold medicine is only a "symptomatic medicine" to relieve symptoms, and any cold symptoms need to be eliminated through the resistance of the patient’s own immunity.

　　　　　　 Zheng Rongxiu, chief physician of the General Hospital of Tianjin Medical University, said: "Many of us have misunderstandings in the treatment of colds, and we always hope that some drugs will get better as soon as we eat them. We have a lot of anti-cold drugs now. It just relieves your symptoms and makes you feel better, but it has no effect on the course of the disease itself. After the course of the disease, most patients can recover by our body immunity. "

　　　　　　 Drinking water should be done in a small amount and many times.

　　　　　　 At the same time, the doctor also suggested that no matter what kind of cold the public suffers from, the best treatment is to rest and drink water. Among them, drinking water is also particular.

　　　　　　 Zheng Rongxiu, chief physician of the General Hospital of Tianjin Medical University, said: "I think it is best to drink a small amount of water many times. Drinking more water can promote the discharge of the virus. Some people keep drinking from jar to jar when they say to drink more water. In this case, there are disadvantages. Sometimes it will cause water poisoning, which is not good for the patient’s recovery and increases the burden on our heart and kidneys. "

　　　　　　 Finally, the doctor suggested that the flu is frequent in winter, and when the weather is good, you should open the window frequently, wash your hands frequently, exercise more, and get the flu vaccine on time.
