Are we allowed to bathe when we are sick?

This case has been a subject of controversy for decades and this is what doctors say...

Our grandmothers taught us one thing, doctors say in this case is dangerous. What is the truth?

Should we bathe when we are sick (we are talking about a possible two -, maximum three - day vacation), or is it better to wait for the temperature to drop?

High - temperature washing is not recommended because it increases the burden on the heart and blood vessels, it transmits Telegrafi.

If the patient feels the temperature, he will bathe in water as hot as possible. This will expand the blood vessels, speed up the flow of blood and increase the heartbeat.

For a person who is sick, this is not desirable at all because it can lead to a stroke or an increase in pressure.

A cold shower that patients sometimes use to reduce their temperature may have the opposite effect: Blood vessels, in contact with cold water, will begin to narrow down and will not be able to release body - produced heat. As a result, internal organs temperature will rise

What about bathing in the bathtub?

A long stay in the bathtub will wet airway. At this point, the dried mucosa will swell, soften, and begin to be extracted from the respiratory system through coughing and nose leaks. If the person doesn't get rid of the mucosa but returns to the dry room, the mucosa will dry again. The intense dream of secretation accumulated in nose channels can be developed in medium ear inflammation.

However, all these recommendations are primarily about bathing, the longest stay in the water. Because the disease is always accompanied by intense perspiration, it means that there are always many biological material in the body's port for bacteria to breed. That's why it's extremely important to take a shower from time to time.

But first doctors recommend using nose points, in combination with hot water, “will have” corral mucosa. And remember that washing should not last more than 15 minutes, and water should be similar to body temperature.

If you sweat, change clothes often, the most important thing is to keep your body dry during the illness, so you need to dry your ears and hair.
