One of the most common concerns affecting people is why some patients who have corona symptoms are given antibiotics and others are not, but are only prescribed when their condition worsens.

“The use of antibiotics in the first days is debatable. If it is a viral disease, it is not necessary to administer antibiotics in the first days. Usually, we give them to elderly people where we expect bacterial superinfections or some complications,” he said to RTS the gastroenterologist Dr. Dino Tarabar. , who was infected with the corona virus.

He points out that treating viruses with antibiotics can be problematic, because the drugs can destroy the surrounding saprophytic flora and the clinical picture will worsen. “The clinical picture of flu, cold and corona can be identical at the same time and it is not easy to evaluate it based on a single contact. You do not have to hear anything in the lungs and it can be misleading,” he says, adding that there were cases in Dragisa. Mišović “where they only saw bilateral pneumonia on the scan.

The doctor especially asked everyone who suspects that they are infected not to wait, but to report to Kovid’s ambulance as soon as they feel the symptoms.

“And I waited five days to see what was happening,” says the doctor, saying that doctors sometimes make mistakes.

What are the symptoms of a red flag, says the doctor? Respiratory.

Loss of air, shortness of breath, dyspnea, muscle aches, this is something that with a temperature that does not drop and returns even after taking medications such as paracetamol, it is a sign that they must reappear because it is very possible that the clinical picture will develop . “The disease can also be manifested by diarrhea, but most patients will have respiratory problems. The point is that they are not treated at home and then, when they arrive in a very serious condition, it is very difficult to remove them ”, says Dr. Tarabar.

How much can supplements help? Can we overdose and overdo it ?, says the doctor:

“Vitamin D, C, magnesium, zinc, selenium, and probiotics are recommended,” says Dr. Tarabar. “Vitamin D is anti-inflammatory and we take it regularly, especially in winter. It is good to take it preventively for those who are not infected. It has its anti-inflammatory function and is administered preventively 2,000 units a day in completely healthy people. I recommend Vitamin C 5- 6 g per day in three different doses, Vitamin D, magnesium and zinc should not be taken at the same time because they go to the same receptors ”, he assures that it will not be exceeded with vitamin D.

“Vitamin D should not be taken in the morning, but in the afternoon, just like magnesium. Probiotics should be taken, especially now that antibiotics are given, which destroy the saprophytic flora,” says Dr. Tarabar, adding that Price does not play a role in the choice of supplements.
