Is it the flu or just a cold? Such questions are often faced by those who fall ill. First of all, because preventive measures and treatment of one or another infection (viral or bacterial) are often significantly different. In addition, there are a number of clinical differences between influenza and similar to him ARI.The disease here usually begins with inflammatory changes in the nasopharynx without general pronounced symptoms (temperature reaction, noticeable malaise, chills, etc.), while viral infections, and primarily influenza, manifest themselves, as a rule, chills, body aches, fever (often up to 38 ° C and above) on the day of the disease. Bronchitis - inflammation of the bronchi. It can be acute and chronic. In acute bronchitis, patients complain of malaise, a feeling of tightness in the chest, a feeling of tickling along the course of the bronchi. The temperature may rise to 37-38 ° C. A dry, agonizing cough appears. Bronchitis has an unpleasant and constant symptom - runny nose.

The beginning of acute pneumonia in both adults and children is characterized by an increase in temperature to 38-39 ° C, the appearance of severe chills, fever, cough, at first dry, then with the release of sputum, which sometimes has a rusty color due to the admixture of blood. There may be pain in the flank, increasing with inhalation. Breathing is usually shallow, rapid and accompanied by a feeling of shortness of breath. Pneumonia (acute) should be treated in a timely manner, otherwise it turns into chronic. Pleurisy - inflammation of the lung lining (pleura). The disease is "dry" and "wet" (effusion). The latter is usually characteristic of pulmonary tuberculosis. Dry pleurisy begins acutely and is accompanied by an increase in temperature up to 39 ° C, the appearance of sharp stabbing pain in the side, coughing and shortness of breath. Because of the pain, breathing becomes involuntarily shallow. There may be an agonizing cough.

Bronchiectatic disease - a disease characterized by dilation and deformation of the bronchi, accompanied by a violation of their drainage function, retention of secretion (sputum) with further development of purulent inflammatory process. Bronchi are increasingly dilated. These expansions, "pockets", and are called (translated from Greek) bronchiectasis. Pulmonary emphysema (from the Greek - expansion) - a disease of the lungs due to the expansion of pulmonary bubbles - alveoli. The essence of this disease is and increased, compared to the optimal norm, the content of air in the lungs, which prevents normal ventilation in the respiratory system. Tuberculosis has several forms. A distinction is made between acute, subacute and chronic forms of pulmonary tuberculosis. When tuberculosis bacteria (Koch's bacilli) enter the lungs, there is a focus of inflammation with curd necrosis, which is combined with inflammation of the bronchial lymph node, and later the process involves and intrathoracic lymph nodes.

Rheumatism is an infectious and allergic disease in which not so much the joints are affected as the heart. If rheumatism is not cured in time, it in most cases leads to the development of one or another heart defect.Rheumatism is accompanied by pains of a symmetrical nature. But they are also still "volatile" in terms of sensations. In addition, patients have an elevated body temperature (usually up to 37.5-37.8 ° C). Atherosclerosis is the most common disease in middle-aged and elderly people. Excess cholesterol in the blood leads to the deposition of "lime" on the walls of blood vessels, which is fraught with such a serious complication as myocardial infarction, stroke. Patients with atherosclerosis often develop chronic coronary heart disease (CHD).Stenocardia is characterized by narrowing of the blood vessels of the heart. It is characterized by compressive pain in the heart area, irradiating most often in the left arm, left shoulder blade. This is ischemic heart disease, which, if not treated in time, can be complicated by myocardial infarction.

Coronary heart disease is the most common heart disease. The concept of "coronary heart disease" includes both acute forms of the disease (angina pectoris, myocardial infarction) and chronic (focal, or diffuse, cardiosclerosis, that is, lesions of the heart muscle tissue). The basis of the disease is coronary insufficiency, when the heart muscle is worse supplied with blood, most often due to atherosclerosis.In most cases, coronary heart disease develops stealthily, although an "acute discharge" of myocardial infarction is also possible. Almost always the disease manifests itself with symptoms of angina of varying degrees of severity. Actually, heart failure is not an independent disease. It is diagnosed as a symptom in many cardiovascular diseases, when the heart is "tired" and can not cope with its duties, which is explained, first of all, by the weakness of the heart muscle. Heart failure has the main symptoms - it is shortness of breath, increased fatigue, especially when climbing any elevation.

Experimental studies have shown an indisputable bactericidal effect of extracts from sphagnum mosses on some pathogenic microbes (streptococci, staphylococci) and the microflora of purulent wounds.For at least 1000 years people have been familiar with sphagnum mosses: This began about 2000 years ago and continues to the present time. The role of sphagnum mosses in this process has been considerable, although not absolute. The living conditions for sphagnum mosses became even more suitable: there were more or less moistened places nearby.

It has at least 10 flavonoids, coumarins, mucilages, bitters, tannins, vitamin C (up to 0.07%), carotene (up to 0.05%), a little essential oil. High bactericidal activity of succession tridentate is determined by polyphenols, which are part of the group of tannins, and manganese.

Gallstone disease is characterized by the formation of stones in the gallbladder or bile ducts.Gallstone disease occurs in middle-aged and elderly people, and in women this pathology is diagnosed 4-6 times more often than in men.

Periodically there is nausea, sometimes - vomiting. And the pain in the gallbladder region becomes more and more prolonged. The feeling of bitterness in the mouth does not go away for a long time.

In this case, the function of the liver - this main biochemical "laboratory" of the body - is disturbed. The causes of liver cirrhosis are often Botkin's disease, chronic alcoholism.Cirrhosis of the liver has its own symptoms. Patients usually complain of general weakness, lack of appetite, abdominal bloating and a feeling of pressure in its upper half.

Pyelonephritis is an inflammatory disease of the kidneys and renal tubules. Often the renal pelvis is also affected.

Pain in the lumbar region can be both unilateral and bilateral.Cystitis - inflammation of the bladder wall. It can occur both acutely and chronically.Acute cystitis usually occurs suddenly (usually after a cold). Its main symptoms are: frequent painful urination, pain in the lower abdomen.Chronic cystitis runs for a long time. Its symptoms are the same as in acute cystitis, but expressed markedly weaker. The disease can periodically exacerbate.

Renal stone disease has its own clinical picture and is characterized by its variability. It depends on which part of the urinary tract the stone is located. Kidney stone disease can be hidden for several years. A stone in the renal pelvis or ureter makes itself known often when it blocks the outflow of urine from the renal pelvis. In such cases, the pain manifests itself as renal colic. Urethritis is characterized by an inflammatory process in the wall of the urethra. The disease occurs as a result of the introduction of pathogenic microbes into the urethra, often purulent (for example, in gonorrhea).Acute urethritis is characterized by burning or pain at the beginning of urination and the presence of discharge from the urethra. Chronic urethritis is accompanied by a variety of complaints of patients and often they are weakly expressed.
