With SARS, you can’t take a hot bath, said Andrey Tyazhelnikov, chief specialist in health care for the adult population of the Moscow Health Department. According to the expert, hygiene is very important, because toxins are released through sweat. But it is necessary to maintain the patient’s condition through sparing procedures. At elevated temperatures, it is recommended to do with wet wipes, then wipe dry, the main thing is that there are no drafts in the room. If you feel satisfactory, you can take a warm shower, no more than 5-7 minutes, but a hot bath is not allowed. The body is fighting infection, the systems are working at increased load, and hot water will only increase the load on the heart and provoke an increase in temperature. Essential oils with anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties can be dripped onto a napkin or added to an aroma lamp. With chills – keep warm only with dry heat, put on woolen socks, cover yourself with another blanket. Temperature up to 38 is not worth knocking down.
It is better to postpone the bath and bath until complete recovery.
Tyazhelnikov stressed that at the first sign of illness, you can get an audio consultation from a doctor or come without an appointment to the nearest clinic, now in the capital the waiting time does not exceed 30 minutes. Citizens with limited mobility or seriously ill can call 122, then the doctor will come to the house, reports RIA News.
