When treating respiratory infections, many Russians still rely on outdated or ineffective methods. According to physician Anastasia Agaeva, the most common mistake is the use of antibiotics, which do not help against viruses and should only be used for confirmed bacterial infections.
Other ineffective treatments include antiviral drugs without proven efficacy, homeopathy, and immunomodulators. These products often fail to aid recovery and may even trigger side effects such as diarrhea or allergic reactions.
Common but harmful home remedies include excessive intake of vitamin C, rubbing the body with alcohol or vinegar, using mustard plasters or suction cups, and rinsing the nose with antiseptics. These actions are not supported by science and may harm the body.
The most effective strategy is to follow a doctor’s advice. For prevention, hygiene, proper nutrition, and avoiding contact with sick individuals are key.
