The flu is not terrible, if you know what to do. And vaccinations, unfortunately, do not give anything, because, as a rule, the epidemic causes an influenza strain that was not expected. Therefore, it is better to do what we recommend, then both you and your children will not just be sick with the flu.

Water must enter the nasopharynx. As soon as this happens, stop drawing water. Through the same nostril, exhale sharply. Along with the flow of water due to the vacuum effect, the sinuses of the nose and nasopharynx will be cleansed of products of inflammation and infection. This may cause pain in the nasopharynx. Do not be afraid of this. As the inflammatory phenomena disappear, the pain will pass away.
3. Rinse the nose with a cleansing breath. Pinch the right nostril with your finger. Smoothly and very calmly inhale for 5 seconds, then pause for 5-10 seconds. Release the right nostril, hold the left nostril. Gently exhale for 5-6 seconds through the right nostril. Repeat everything starting with the left nostril. Carry out 5 minutes.

When skin rashes occur, take a glass of light solution of potassium permanganate in the morning on an empty stomach, as well as a plentiful drink.

In addition I advise pressing techniques of the chest - behind, in front, from the sides, under the diaphragm. It is very important from the very beginning to do everything the way we recommend. In this case, the process of deterioration will stop, and acute respiratory disease, bronchitis and pneumonia in acute stages will take place from a few hours to 2-3 days. With chronic bronchitis after 2 weeks there will be a persistent improvement, after which we change the appointment, achieving a complete recovery in 1-2 months. If the temperature remains above the 38.4 ° C the day after the start of treatment, it is recommended that the children be stripped to panties. If the heat is kept high, apply wraps with sheets moistened in a solution composed of 2-3% vinegar, vodka and water in equal parts at a temperature of 16-18 ° C. If the temperature drops to 38 ° С and below the bath, do at night through the day and follow all that is indicated above in points 1 to 7. Continue this treatment until the temperature and general condition return to normal. Remember that 38 ° C is the immuno-forming temperature.
