Today we want to focus on some of the diseases that are most common in the fall and winter months, depending on the needs and desires of customers.
Why do lips crack?
- In winter, the body is deficient in various vitamins. Cracks in the lips indicate a lack of vitamins A and E in the body. Injury to the cracks indicates an infection. Apply an oily solution of vitamin A to the lips to enhance the wound healing process. Duration of treatment - 2 weeks. Then, give your child one of the vitamin complexes that contain vitamin A on the advice of a doctor. If the cracks are purulent, apply drying ointments (eg levomecol).
Tears in cold weather…
- When eyes are affected, they should be washed. To do this, a tincture of medicinal herbs will come in handy. The eye is washed with chamomile tincture or a gauze soaked in this tincture is applied to the eye. Freshly brewed black tea also helps in this regard. It is also useful to wash the eyes with parsley tincture.
Can cough be treated at home?
