When it is necessary to make an appointment with an infectious disease specialist
Serious reasons to see an infectious disease doctor include:
- A tendency to frequent colds;
- a subfebrile body temperature over a long period of time;
- a cough that does not go away for weeks;
- enlarged lymph nodes in any area of the body;
- headache, insomnia, drowsiness;
- nausea, diarrhea, light-colored stools, dark beer-colored urine;
- skin rashes, itching;
- yellow tint of the skin, mucous membranes, enlargement of the liver and spleen;
- joint stiffness, muscle pain.
A timely initial appointment with an infectious disease specialist will ensure a quick diagnosis and effective treatment. Late stages of any disease are much harder, longer and more expensive to treat. The destructive power of pathogens is so great that it is not always possible to fully restore health, despite the best efforts of the doctor and the patient.

After diagnosis with the identification of the causative agent of the disease, the infectious disease doctor draws up an individual treatment program. Its goal is to cleanse the patient's body of pathogenic microorganisms. To do this, drug therapy is used:
- antibacterial;
- antiviral;
- antiparasitic;
- antifungal.
In addition, to strengthen the body's defenses, the patient is prescribed pathogenetic therapy, vitamins, immunomodulators. Comprehensive treatment with monitoring of its effectiveness and correction, if necessary, allows the patient to get rid of the infection and prevent relapse.
