According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the human papillomavirus is so common that virtually every sexually active person will at some point get an HPV infection, if not vaccinated, and be asymptomatic. But at the same time, most of the oncological diseases of the genital organs, anus and oropharynx are associated with the presence of a virus in the body.
In 80% of cases, bronchitis in children is not caused by bacteria, but by viruses. Antibiotics do not help in the fight against viral diseases and they are not used to prevent diseases of the respiratory system. It is worth listening to the doctor's opinion and not trying to treat your child with antibacterial drugs on your own.
Studies on the effect of high doses of dietary supplements with zinc and vitamin D on the course of coronavirus infection are very controversial. There is no evidence that vitamin D and zinc actually make you heal faster or get sick more easily.
However, both zinc and vitamin D are really important for our immune function. Considering that most of the city dwellers have a deficiency of these substances, it might be useful to take them additionally. But you need to remember that everything is good in moderation, and be sure to consult your doctor before you start taking additional vitamins and minerals.
