Why a cold makes you get fluids – the inside story you don’t know

Any textbook says colds don’t require fluids, but why does everyone get fluids for colds? Is it because fluids get better faster? Wrong. Colds are the most common illness, and the most common illness that every small clinic treats. And, no matter what the disease, can be diagnosed as “cold”, infusion for two days to see, and then say, many serious diseases are therefore delayed. As a qualified doctor, should know what diseases need fluids, rarely, the most common shock, dehydration, serious infections need fluids, people can not eat need fluids, surgery patients need fluids, high fever does not go down need fluids, that is, only to the life-threatening, can not take care of their own lives, there is a need for fluids. And these illnesses are uncommon. A small clinic, if it wants to maintain normal operation, can not be sustained just through the opening of the mouth to take drugs, an oral medicine can make a few dollars at the end of the day, will not be more than 10 dollars. This income alone is not enough for the rent. Therefore, all the patients need to be infused, as soon as the infusion, the whole cost goes up a step, 30 dollars, at least, 5, 60 is very common. Of course it can also earn more, infusion of a bottle of white water well earn 10 dollars, right, of course more than one bottle, but also a few bottles of antibiotics, a bottle of good turn 20, right. Income comes. Is there any effect? Because most of them are not medicine can be good cold patients, as long as the infusion did not have adverse reactions, of course, can also be good, and, will not be good faster. Precisely because small clinics are forced by life, commonly give fluids to patients with colds, so the common people think of fluids after a cold. For colds, infusion is not only no benefit, may be accompanied by many adverse reactions, many small clinic accident is so, allergies, ah, infection, so. So, now you will still casually think of infusion?
