In the face of infection, people are often anxious to recover, but are vulnerable to some common errors in treatment. Understanding these fault lines and avoiding them are essential for the correct treatment of infection and for the promotion of rehabilitation.
I. Misuse of antibiotics
1. Misperception that antibiotics are a panacea. Many people take antibiotics on their own when they experience symptoms such as cold and cough. However, antibiotics are effective only for bacterial infections and not for viral infections. For example, common flu is mostly caused by viruses, and the use of antibiotics at this time not only does not treat diseases, but can also lead to intestinal group disorders and to adverse consequences such as drug-resistant bacteria.
2. It is also wrong to use antibiotics when some people do not use them as they do, after a slight reduction in symptoms. Failure to use antibiotics in the course of treatment may result in the bacteria not being completely eliminated, thus creating drug resistance, making treatment more difficult in the next infection.
II. Ignoring rest and nutrition
1. Overwork. During the infection, the body needs more energy to fight the pathogens. Some, however, do not value rest, continue to work hard or engage in intense sports. This leads to further physical fatigue, reduced immunity and longer recovery.
2. Improper diet. A large number of people suffer from poor appetite in the event of illness, reducing their diet at will or eating only some light food. However, adequate nutrition is essential for physical recovery. During infection, sufficient proteins, vitamins and minerals should be guaranteed to increase immunity.
III. Superstitious “civilian bias”
1. Blind attempts. Some people, after infection, do not go to regular hospitals, but rather have little faith in the civilian side, such as vinegar, fumigation with herbs, etc. These parties often have no scientific basis and may not only be unable to treat the infection, but may also delay or even cause bodily harm.
2. Neglecting individual differences, even if some of the biases have a certain effect on a certain part of the population, is not uniform in the physical condition of each individual and the circumstances of the infection. Furthermore, the security and effectiveness of the civilian side is not strictly proven and there are significant risks. IV. Ignorance of symptoms
1. Self-judgement of the condition. Some people, after infection, judge the severity of the condition on the basis of their own experience, arguing that the symptoms do not require medical attention if they are not serious. However, some infections may not be visible at the initial stage, but may develop rapidly, as some bacterial infections may lead to serious complications such as sepsis.
2. Neglect of mild symptoms. However, these symptoms may be important signs from the body that the infection is developing or that there are other potential problems. If it is not followed up and addressed in a timely manner, it may aggravate the situation.
V. Excessive reliance on accelerants
1. Frequent use. In case of fever symptoms, some people will use deflammants more frequently, hoping to reduce body temperature as soon as possible. However, heat is a natural response to infection in the body, and moderate heat increases immunity. The overuse of deflammation pills may conceal the condition and influence the doctor ‘ s judgement of the disease.
2. Focusing only on body temperature The decompressants can only reduce body temperature and cannot treat the infection itself. The use of precipitating drugs should be accompanied by an active search for the causes of the infection and appropriate treatment.
In short, when treating infection, we should avoid falling into these common areas of error and develop the right idea of treatment. In the event of symptoms of infection, medical treatment should be provided in a timely manner, following the advice of a doctor, and care should be taken to provide rest and a reasonable diet to facilitate physical recovery as soon as possible.
