How many days are the flu treated? And what is dangerous if it is not treated?
Answers:
Anna Matveeva
Antibiotics - in any case! They do not act on viruses, only on bacteria, and the flu, like any "cold" - a viral infection. Antipyretics (aspirin, paracetamol, fervex, koldreks and other advertising charm) - only if the temperature is above 38.5. In all other cases you create a protracted course of the disease.
As soon as possible start to take stimulants of immunity, the best preparations are echinacea, in the pharmacy there is immunal and tincture of echinacea. It is the same. In the first day take a half-spoonful every two hours, then three times a day. If you grab the virus in the first hours, then you can simply cut it off, if later - you will still recover much faster and without complications. But about a day honestly you will be ill, while the organism will gather, and the virus will be destroyed.
If there is no appetite, it is better to starve, because at high temperature food is not digested, but only poisons the body. But the drink should be abundant - up to 3 liters per day. By the way, alcohol increases the toxic effect of the virus, especially the flu.
The temperature is high usually, especially if without treatment or with attempts to knock down, it lasts 3-4 days.
Untreated influenza is dangerous by the attachment of bacterial complications and the development of bronchitis, pneumonia, sinusitis, otitis, etc.. Then already antibiotics under the full program.

We, too, are ill with the whole family with the flu for the sixth day (the temperature really was asleep), and some even suffer a month. Depends on the immunity of each organism separately.
Vladimir Vladimirovich
With inpatient treatment, the flu is cured in about 7 days, but if it is not treated, it is fraught with complications that may occur in the future.
PS
Complications can be very dangerous: from pneumonia, sinusitis to encephalitis, meningitis and myocarditis.
So be treated in good faith, with bed rest, at home until full recovery.
In occasion of duration: as they say, with treatment lasts 7 days, without treatment a week :)
Larisa Lukjanenko-Meitner

Olga Litvinenko
if you are seriously concerned about complications, then you are at home, lead a measured lifestyle, since the flu is not a comic thing, the consequences are much negligible. health is very expensive. Bless you! ABOUT. M.
How long infectious is the flu: how many days can you get infected
For how long has a person with flu been contagious to others? This question is of interest to everyone who has somehow come in contact with this disease.
As is known, the influenza virus is mutated every year, which makes it more complex. To avoid serious consequences and not get sick, doctors recommend that the vaccine be given at least a few days before the epidemiological period begins.
To a person infected with the flu, was not dangerous to others, it is important to strictly comply with the quarantine regime.
Conducting scientific research
In order to understand how long a person can be contagious and how many days the infection remains in the body, it is worth considering what the flu virus is and what the course of the disease is.In order to make sure in practice what period is the most dangerous for the people around and the patient, the French scientists conducted a unique study.
The experiment showed that a person with influenza should be isolated from other people for a minimum of four days, after which he becomes not contagious.
Volunteer groups took part in a unique experiment, each participant was deliberately infected with the influenza virus. Over the course of 10 days, experts observed the status of patients and the way the disease was developing in each person.
As it turned out, it was possible to narrow the circle of infected patients halfway the first day by isolating patients. Four days after observation, when the flu begins to progress, a person becomes not dangerous to society and can interact with other people.
The incubation period of influenza
The first day after the body got infected with the flu virus, usually passes without manifestations of obvious symptoms, so it's hard to say how many days the flu lasts. It is at this moment that the disease can be transmitted by contact, when the patient does not even suspect that he is sick.
- The incubation period of any acute respiratory viral infection lasts a maximum of one week. Before the appearance of the first obvious symptoms of the disease, you can not know that a person is a carrier of the virus. For this reason, it is very difficult to identify when the infection of the body actually occurred and how many days the person is sick.
- In general, such a concept as the period of incubation of influenza can be considered conditional, since it proceeds without manifesting the main symptoms of the disease. The doctor determines the latent phase of the disease and the period of infection, based on the typology of the disease.
- The period of development of the disease also depends on the functioning of the immune system and the presence of other diseases. When the number of viruses increases dramatically, immunity causes a malfunction, and the infection begins to actively manifest itself as symptoms.
- Since the viral bodies multiply very quickly, others can be infected two days after the infection has occurred. And only after seven days the patient becomes not dangerous.
Symptoms of influenza usually begin to manifest themselves suddenly. After the incubation period is completed, the patient can feel an ache and heaviness in the body.
The main symptoms of the disease
As it was said earlier, the exact time, how many days the organism is infected, is not easy to detect, since the infection penetrates imperceptibly. Particularly dangerous are places where people accumulate in large numbers, public transport and territories where drafts are observed.The first symptoms of influenza include the appearance of a cough and a cold. Then the body temperature rises, there are pains in the throat and lays the ears.
Three main forms of the disease are subdivided:
- With a mild form, body temperature can rise to 38 degrees. The remaining symptoms of the flu are imperceptible.
- With an average shape, temperatures can increase to 39 or more degrees. The main symptoms of the disease manifest themselves: the patient feels an aching in the muscles, an impulsive headache, a high sweating, a general weakness of the body, a runny nose and a strong cough. Sometimes there is a pain in the stupid character in the abdomen.
- In severe form, the temperature rises to 40 degrees. In addition, the patient may begin to bleed from the nose, vomiting, hallucinations, convulsions.
When the main signs of the disease disappear, weakness in the body can persist for another two to three weeks. The patient has headaches, irritability and insomnia. Depending on the individual characteristics of the body and the state of immunity, the patient is quickly restored or he develops complications. In the presence of chronic cardiac and pulmonary pathologies, the disease is often aggravated by influenza.
Viruses spread through the air and common household items. If a person has weak immunity, the disease can take a particularly long time. When living in one apartment of other people increases the risk of transmission of the virus to healthy patients.
The patient, who has good health and excellent physical shape, can suffer from 4-14 days. However, the symptoms of such a person will be less pronounced, compared with less hardened people.
In the event that the patient continues to feel aching and muscle pain after this period, you need to see a doctor to avoid re-infection with the flu or the appearance of complications.
Isolation of the patient at home
If several people are infected with the flu in one or another organization, quarantine is declared. This decision is made by the head of the organization or educational institution independently, based on the risk of infection of more people.
For the treatment to be most effective, the patient is provided with the necessary comfort. If there is no possibility of finding a patient in a comfortable environment, he is sent to a hospital.
Bed rest should be observed until the patient has a fever and normal appetite. In the event that the patient does not comply with all the rules of treatment and continues to engage in active activities, the period of infection of the public can be increased.
While the infected person is among healthy people, each of those present is considered a potential victim of the disease. To avoid infection, others should resort to preventive measures, wash hands frequently, wear gauze dressings, and have information on how not to get infected by contact with a sick flu.
According to doctors, an adult organism with pronounced symptoms of influenza can spread the infection to for 5-10 days, children can be a spreader of the virus for a longer time - at least 8-10 days.
It is almost impossible to determine more accurately whether a dangerous period has come to an end.
Maintaining precautionary measures
Over the long
In the first two days, a patient can infect a sufficiently large number of people. Due to the absence of symptoms, the patient goes to the face, uses public transport, visits stores and other establishments. As a result, the infection spreads quickly and infects healthy people.During the conversation, sneezing, coughing next to the carrier of the virus, an infectious area is formed, which is filled with microscopic substances of saliva and sputum that are floating in the air. Getting into such airspace, the surrounding people breathe in their noses or mouth microbes, resulting in the influenza virus enters the body.
Since it is easy enough to get infected with a viral infection, it is necessary to observe the basic rules when contacting a sick person.
- If someone else lives in an apartment with a sick person, you need to place the patient in a separate room.
- It is often necessary to ventilate the room with the patient and perform wet cleaning at least three times a day.
- Household items, utensils and other common things are disinfected.
- With the patient you need as little as possible to contact and communicate.
- The most effective method of prevention is vaccination against influenza.
- It is important that the duration of the quarantine is at least a week.
Unfortunately, most often people make the same mistakes when they encounter a disease. To understand how not to act in a particular situation, it is worth considering the main misconceptions associated with the flu.
It is not uncommon for a person to go to work, despite a slight malaise. As a result, most often after a few hours, there is a sharp increase in temperature, there is a headache and begins to break down the whole body.
When the first signs of the disease appear, a person tries to do the most important things as much as possible, and only then goes to the sick-list. Meanwhile, it is in the first days after the manifestation of the first symptoms that the risk of infection with the flu surrounding is high, and the disease can lead to serious complications.
Sometimes patients forget to wash, but this is necessary if the heat is not there. Also you need to wash your hands and face with soap as often as possible. For hygienic purposes it is recommended to use disposable handkerchiefs. In detail and with practical advice, how not to get sick with flu, will tell in the video in this article a specialist.

EFFICIENT AND SIMPLE WAY OF STRENGTHENING IMMUNITY
1) To quickly get rid of acute respiratory infections, influenza, it is necessary to stimulate sneezing, this is a simple and wise reflex of our body for stimulating antiviral immunity and getting rid of any virus. In people with colds to stimulate sneezing, use the juice of Kalanchoe or aloe juice. The fresh juice of these plants, when buried in the nose, irritates the mucous membrane of the nose, causes multiple sneezing (from five to twenty snacks per instillation). To sneeze a pipette, 3-4 drops of juice from these plants are buried 3-4 times a day. The flower of the Kalanchoe, which causes a sneeze, is called a "surgeon without a knife". This flower does not blossom and it has a lot of children. Stimulate a sneeze is desirable before the epidemic, and even more so during an epidemic and a cold disease. Sneezing can be caused by irritating the nasal mucosa with an ordinary ear stick. If the epidemic, then sneeze once 5-10, if you want to be extremely strong, sneeze once or twice. In the olden days, people used snuff to strengthen their health by sneezing. By the way, snuff was always the first means of healing the body, the first means of preventing colds. 2) It's not strange but, it turns out, there are food products, which are also powerful stimulants of antiviral immunity. These include horseradish and mustard, their essential oils strongly irritating with their odor mucous nasopharynx and paranasal sinuses powerfully stimulate antiviral immunity. These spices are preferably used more often on the eve of the epidemic, and even more so during the epidemic to prevent the disease, and with ARVI, flu, for easy and quick recovery. When you use them with food, you need to achieve a sense of "shaken to the brain", so that the molecules of essential oil have reached the paranasal sinuses and lungs. It is enough to use one or two of these spices per day during the flu epidemic or in case of a disease for powerful strengthening of the antiviral immunity. 3) To strengthen immunity, it is possible to use acupressure for specific points of antiviral immunity. This is, first of all, the area of the temporomandibular joint, the upper inner corner of the eye's orbit, painful spots on the forehead, whiskey and occipital mounds. If you find pain in these places, massage is carried out every day until the soreness disappears under the finger. The more often during the day you massage these points, the stronger your pressure on them during the massage, the faster the immunity will be strengthened, the faster you will recover. Many note the common cold in the appearance of pain in the eye, in the eyes, so you have to manipulate the index finger with the pain of the eye through the eyelid. When pressed, the finger is held in this state for 3 seconds and shifted. 4) An important place in strengthening immunity is occupied by tapping the head with a cam or a half-liter plastic bottle filled with water without air bubbles. Tapping is carried out on the entire surface of the head with an obligatory tapping along the cheek bones and chin on the right and left 3-8-10 times a day day in, day out until you get rid of the pain that occurs in your head when tapping, or from the headache that has always bothered you. The duration of a single tapping is from 1 to 3 minutes. In general, the strength, duration, frequency of exposure is all depends on the state of the body, but there are certain guidelines: the more impact, the faster you will become healthy.
5) And here you have the most powerful way to stimulate antimicrobial immunity with various bacterial infections of the genito-urinary tract, digestive tract, respiratory ways, tonsillitis, sinusitis, joint pain, at elevated temperature, with asthenic conditions - it's rubbing the hands and feet with the base of the palm for 1-2 minutes on the limb in the morning and evening, and with a strong decrease in immunity, at a high temperature, grind up to 5-8 times a day. From such grinding, the temperature is reduced to 37.5

7 - 10 days and more
Andrey Gavrilenko
In general, if you do not heal and always be on your feet, you can get sick 7 and 10 days, and then when you recover, once again pick up the flu and again on a new one. Moreover, there is no guarantee that you will be cured at that time because complications in the form of cardiac, pulmonary, renal and other inadequacies can be reduced to the grave altogether.

How many days does the temperature stay with the flu? Do I need to drink antibiotics?
Answers:
Alla Morozenskaya
The temperature with the flu can last for several days and usually, if it is the flu, it exceeds 39 degrees, lower - it's just a cold or a virus. Antibiotics for influenza do not help, rather, on the contrary, aggravate the process. It is necessary to drink a lot, preferably cranberry juice and everything that is associated with vitamin C. To give advice on treatment, you need to know exactly what is the flu. Signs of the flu: sudden bad health (an hour ago everything was fine), a sharp increase in temperature, there may be nausea and vomiting, intoxication in the form of a fever, shivering, severe headache especially in the frontal part, muscles and joints ache with pain, do not want to look at the light, annoying the slightest noise, there may be a slight stuffiness of the nose, but the cold may not be there, a dry barking cough, appears on the second day. The rest is a cold or a virus. Medic.

Inhalations with garlic and onions treat colds
Inhalations are used to treat diseases of the nasopharynx, trachea, bronchi and lungs (laryngitis, tracheitis, pharyngitis, bronchitis). At home, steam inhalations are usually done with the addition of medications prescribed by the doctor. Without consulting a specialist, there is a risk of irritation of the mucous membrane of the nasopharynx.
• Add 5-10 drops of tincture of iodine, or 5 drops of ammonia, or 1-2 teaspoons of crushed dry leaves of eucalyptus, or a piece of briquette of pine extract, or 10-15 drops of menthol or camphor alcohol, or a teaspoon of menthol, thymol oil.
• You can add garlic or onion juice (about a teaspoonful), chamomile broth at the rate of 2-3 tablespoons per 3 liters of water. Onions or garlic, grate on a fine grater and squeeze through three layers of gauze. Sometimes the doctor advises to breathe the steam, which is formed over freshly cooked potatoes (in the skin).
• Fold a funnel from the thick paper, cover the pan or kettle with its wide end, and inhale steam through a narrow gap.
• If you do not suffer from hypertension, you can breathe steam over the pan, covering your head with a towel.
• Children can be inhaled from 2-3 years of age and under the supervision of an adult.
• The duration of any inhalation is 5-10-15 minutes, for children up to 5 minutes. Do it 1-2 times a day.
• Inhalation begin after 5 minutes, and for the child 10 minutes after the water boils.
• Remember that you can not breathe over boiling water.

Antibiotics are prescribed only by a doctor. And then if the bacterial infection has joined the virus infection. I do not finish this before. As soon as I feel the beginning, I immediately fly off with Influcid. Three days later - in the norm. And for the body it is better than swallowing antibiotics.
