More insidious than the flu, more sticky than the cold... Tamer of rotaviruses.
In winter, we are exposed not only to flu and colds, but also to the insidious rotavirus, which can lead to serious health problems. Rotavirus infection or "stomach flu" is characterized by incompatible symptoms such as diarrhea, sometimes vomiting, fever, runny nose, sore throat and swollen lymph nodes. This disease is highly contagious and is transmitted from person to person through household items, cooked food, raw water, poorly processed foods, etc.
To avoid infection with rotavirus infection, it is necessary to follow basic sanitary and hygienic rules, such as wash your hands, properly handle food, if one of the family members is sick, isolate him and provide separate dishes and linen. If you have already become infected with rotavirus, you need to know how to properly treat it.
When infected with rotavirus infection, colds and diarrhea should not be treated separately. Taking antibiotics is useless; they only act on bacteria and destroy the beneficial intestinal microflora. It is dangerous to treat rotavirus diarrhea with drugs based on loperamide - by blocking viruses in the intestines, we create ideal conditions for the destructive action of rotaviruses.
Instead, the first step is to rehydrate your body with a rehydration solution. It is very important to follow a diet and watch what you eat and drink. However, in addition to this, there is an effective remedy that will help tame rotavirus and remove it from the body - Smecta.
Smecta is a drug of natural origin that has no specific contraindications or side effects, which allows it to be used for treatment even in babies, starting from the first days of life, as well as in pregnant women and during lactation. Thanks to its powerful adsorbent and astringent properties, Smecta removes rotaviruses, bacteria, their toxins, bile salts and gases from the body, destroying up to 90% of the rotavirus within a minute after contact. The unique crystalline structure of Smecta allows it to integrate into the intestinal mucosa, prevent the penetration of rotavirus into the mucus and help restore damaged intestinal mucosa.
To treat rotavirus infection, Smecta is taken 1 sachet three times a day before meals for 3-7 days, depending on the severity of symptoms. Before use, you must dilute the contents of the sachet in 100-200 ml of water. If you have any doubts or questions about using Smecta, it is always best to consult your doctor.
However, do not forget that Smecta is not a panacea, and the use of this drug should not replace personal hygiene, proper nutrition and rehydration in case of rotavirus infection. If you suspect a rotavirus infection, be sure to consult a doctor to receive qualified help.
