A pharmacist has explained four mistakes people make
A health expert has revealed one major mistake that people tend to make when they're struck down with the cold or flu.
Speaking to the Mirror, Abbas said that you can't stop a cold in its tracks and instead it has to run its course naturally. Abbas explained: "It doesn't make much difference whether you start taking cold and flu products earlier or later on, as they don't have any bearing on the nature of the virus and it will progress irrespective of whether you've taken it or not.According to Abbas, a cold typically lasts around 10 days. But if your symptoms have been persisting for three weeks or more, you should consider contacting a doctor.
He continued: "Most colds and flu are caused by viruses, not bacteria, so there's absolutely no need to take antibiotics, but some people will decide to take antibiotics they have left over or that their mum had in the cupboard from a couple of years ago. I've seen that a lot.The pharmacist explained that antibiotics are only useful if you're immunocompromised and had developed something like a chest infection, but even that would pass in time.
