Many deaths could have been avoided
Professor Vladimir Nikiforov, during a press conference about the epidemic season in Russia, called the deadly mistake of everyone who became infected with ARVI and influenza.
As AiF writes, Doctor of Medical Sciences, Professor, Head of the Department of the Russian National Research Medical University named after. Pirogov Vladimir Nikiforov believes that the main mistake of Russians is the craving for self-medication.
According to him, up to 3.9 million people die a year during or after suffering from acute respiratory viral infections.
“For example, a person died of a heart attack or stroke, but who will remember that he had the flu not so long ago?” – says the professor.
Everything is especially complicated when a person is treated using his grandmother’s methods and does not call a doctor, even knowing that he has chronic diseases that can be “restarted” by the influenza virus or any of the viruses that cause ARVI.
If you have become infected with what you think is a seasonal disease, you should not hesitate to see a doctor, especially if you are at risk. Nikiforov included pregnant women, children under 6 years of age, those suffering from chronic diseases, obesity, and pensioners over 65 years of age.
