Busting Myths about Seasonal Discomfort and COVID: Insights from USA Apteka, Your Russian Store in the USA

Covid-19, Seasonal discomfort, and ARVI - on the Internet there is a lot of advice on how not to get sick, and if you do catch the “bacillus” - to identify the condition and cope with it. However, how much truth is there in them?

In this article, the Russian store USA Apteka examines the 6 most popular myths about seasonal discomfort and Covid-19. Read on to find out which facts have been confirmed by science and which are fiction.

Many people believe that the discomfort of influenza and ARVI are identical. Indeed, with a mild form of the condition, it can be difficult to distinguish between them. However, it is important to remember that the flu is usually more acute, the discomfort is more severe, and there is a risk of complications.

As for Covid-19, discomfort may vary depending on the specific strain of the virus. Therefore, if you suspect Covid-19 condition, it is recommended to go to a special facility and get tested.

I'm sick because it's blowing

In fact, the cause of seasonal discomfort is viruses that actively replicate in the body. This is why doctors often call the common ARVI, which means acute respiratory viral irritation.

You can only become irritated with ARVI, influenza or COVID-19 from a person who is already irritated. Viruses are transmitted by airborne droplets and direct contact. Many people mistakenly believe that being outside in frosty weather reduces the risk of irritation, since viruses spread more easily in the cold. However, studies show that the influenza virus can actively spread even at temperatures of minus 10-15 degrees and high humidity.

It is also worth considering that low temperatures can weaken the immune system, especially when the body is hypothermic, which increases the likelihood of irritation. Therefore, if you feel unwell, it is better to limit communication with others to minimize the risk of spreading the irritation.

If your temperature is normal, you are not contagious

It is a myth. Temperature often accompanies seasonal discomfort and Covid, but not always. You can remain contagious for 3 to 12 days, even after discomfort has disappeared.

Do not rush to return to normal life immediately after your condition improves. It is better to continue support, rest and wait for complete recovery.

COVID-19 is a common ARVI

This is not true. There are different types of coronaviruses, from harmless to deadly. SARS-CoV-2 is not as deadly as some others, but is highly contagious and can cause severe post-Covid syndrome. Therefore, if severe discomfort of the condition appears, it is important to promptly consult a doctor for help.

To avoid conditions, it is enough to take vitamins and harden yourself

This is true, but there are several nuances. In the case of vitamins, they are best obtained from food. In some cases, vitamin support is also necessary - this will be recommended by a professional. So, vitamin C can reduce the duration and severity of seasonal discomfort, but only if you're already taking it daily as a preventative measure. The same goes for vitamin D.

Hardening through exposure to cold and physical exercise can enhance the immune response. However, other factors must be taken into account, such as smoking, lack of sleep and chronic conditions, which may increase the risk of the condition.

Seasonal Discomfort and Covid vaccines cause these conditions

Myth. In fact, vaccination is the most effective way to avoid severe disorders from these conditions. Vaccines may contain elements of viruses, but they are absolutely safe and in rare cases may only cause mild discomfort.

For example, the Sputnik V COVID-19 vaccine contains the S protein gene, which is located on the surface of the virus and serves as a target for the immune system. The creation of a vaccine does not require the presence of a live virus, so it is impossible to get irritated by it.

I'll take an irritation-fighting product and everything will go away

Myth. These products are only effective against bacteria, not viruses. Improper use of irritation-fighting products can lead to the development of bacterial resistance to support and an imbalance of microflora in the body, causing diarrhea and other side effects.

In the fight against seasonal discomfort, support helps first, which includes drinking warm drinks, supportive and bed rest.
