Now there are six mistakes that you can make when you develop a viral infection and you're

0:04.9

going to actually address it or treat it that I want to talk about because when you start

0:09.6

getting sick, especially a viral infection, you want to make sure that you can maybe fight

0:14.9

it off initially so it doesn't develop into a full blown infection and if you have infection,

0:21.1

you want a very quick recovery. You don't want something that's going to last a very long time.

0:25.7

So this video is going to be very important. All right, number one, stopping a fever too quickly.

0:31.6

There's this impulse to want to get rid of your fever, especially if a child has fever.

I would recommend do things to keep really, really warm, to help enhance that fever.

1:33.1

You know, when you're actually sleeping, just wear more clothes, have more blankets,

1:37.2

take a hot bath, take a hot shower, stay really, really warm. Viruses hate heat. All right,

1:42.9

number two, taking an antibiotic for a virus. It doesn't work. Antibiotics only work for

1:49.7

bacterial infections, not viruses, not fungal infections, not candida, only for bacterial infections.

1:58.4

And the problem when you take an antibiotic, there's some slight minor complications. And I'm being
