Influenza great set. How to choose the right medicine that will help

Of course, for
The first signs of the cold are best to consult a doctor. He will appoint
necessary analyzes to put an accurate diagnosis and advise the right

The cold develops into something more serious. Well, you will have to
understand the diversity of medicines.
On one's own
choosing drugs for treating flu, we tend to stop your choice
On one of the following types of drugs: homeopathy, reduced severity of symptoms,
Antibiotics, etiotropic drugs. How effective they are?
A little bit about
Homeopathy
The most controversial,
Perhaps are homeopathic drugs from influenza. Their effectiveness is still

Antibiotics — not from

It will exceed 38.5 degrees (for children — 38 degrees).
The largest
The lack of drugs of this group is that they do not have any action
on causative agents — Viruses. Yes, our well-being is improved from the reception
