The tridemic hit Russia for the first time
Before the 2020 pandemic, seasonal diseases in our country were ARVI and influenza; the pandemic was dominated by coronavirus. And so they all arrived together in the second half of December 2023; doctors called it a tridemic.
Doctor of Medical Sciences Zaur Shugushev told RG how to behave in this epidemic season if you have already felt signs of infection.
He recommended doing at least a quick test to understand whether it is “corona” or not. After all, the latest strains of “omicron” are practically no different in their manifestations from the seasonal flu.
This way the treatment algorithm will become clear – either for Covid or otherwise. Flu-like symptoms dictate that we take an antiviral drug as early as possible, at least in the first day, if not in the first hours of infection. So rapid diagnosis of Covid is also important in order not to miss the flu.
Zaur Shugushev suggested what to do if you missed the first day of a viral disease. You just need symptomatic treatment – for a runny nose, cough, sore throat and sore throat, and so on.
But if there is little use and a high temperature rises, do not delay your visit to the clinic – you may also need treatment with antibiotics under the supervision of a doctor.
Previously, we told you which “winter” drinks will lift your spirits and warm you up without alcohol.
