Mistake 1 : Bringing down fever too early
Having a fever isn't necessarily a bad thing; it's actually the body's natural response to fight off a virus. However, if a fever subsides too quickly, it can lead to:
- Prolonged infection time
- Reduce immune response
- Reduce the activity of virus-killing T cells
Recommendation: Keep your body warm to help the fever take effect. Hot baths, thick blankets, and warm clothing are all helpful.
Mistake 2 : Randomly taking antibiotics
Antibiotics are only effective against bacterial infections ; they are completely ineffective against viruses, fungi, and Candida. The misuse of antibiotics can:
- Causes bacteria to develop drug resistance
- Disrupting beneficial gut bacteria
- Leading to vitamin B1 deficiency
Recommendation: Avoid using antibiotics unless absolutely necessary. If you must take them, remember to supplement with probiotics at the same time.
Mistake 3 : Over-disinfection
Excessive cleanliness can actually weaken the immune system, especially in children. Over-disinfection can:
- Disrupting beneficial bacteria on the skin
- Increased risk of allergies
- Hinders the development of the immune system
Recommendation: Maintaining basic cleanliness is sufficient; there's no need for excessive disinfection. Skin also needs the protection of beneficial bacteria.
Mistake 4 : Detoxifying during illness
Detoxifying when the body is weak can actually cause:
- Releases large amounts of toxins, triggering an immune response.
- Activate latent virus
- Increased risk of infection
Recommendation: During illness, the focus should be on "nourishing" rather than any form of detoxification.
Mistake 5 : Over-consumption of certain treatments
Taking all kinds of supplements and folk remedies as soon as you get sick can actually have the following effects:
- Stimulation of mucous membrane tissue
- Disrupting the immune system
- Increased risk of side effects
Recommendation: Focus on the three essential nutrients – zinc, natural vitamin C , and vitamin D. Apple cider vinegar can also help stimulate immune cells to clear viruses.
Error 6 : Suppressing the immune response
Coughing and runny nose are the body's ways of detoxifying and should not be suppressed excessively. Using steroids (such as Prednisone ) or excessive stress can also cause these symptoms.
- Reduce white blood cell count
- Paralyzing the immune system
- Prolonged course of disease
Recommendation: Maintain emotional stability, get plenty of rest, and relax your mind and body with a hot bath to allow your immune system to function naturally.
In conclusion: Don't be afraid of illness, the key is to know how to treat it!
