SUMMARY

This discussion addresses common health issues and treatments, focusing on the mechanisms of viral infections, the role of antibiotics, hydration during illness, and blood cell production. It clarifies that viruses invade cells and utilize their nutrients, leading to symptoms like fever and congestion. Antibiotics are effective against bacteria, not viruses, and hydration is crucial for nutrient replenishment during illness. The conversation emphasizes the importance of separating complex health questions into individual discussions for clarity.

PREREQUISITES
  • Basic understanding of human biology and immune response
  • Knowledge of the differences between viruses and bacteria
  • Familiarity with the role of hydration in health
  • Awareness of blood cell functions and nutrition
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the mechanisms of viral replication and immune response
  • Learn about the pharmacology of antibiotics and their specific uses
  • Investigate the importance of hydration and electrolytes during illness
  • Explore dietary sources that promote red blood cell production
USEFUL FOR

Individuals seeking to understand health issues, medical students, healthcare professionals, and anyone interested in improving their knowledge of human biology and treatments for common illnesses.

I am new at this but i want to make sure i know what i am talking about
I have researched all of these things but i am not getting a straight answer so i came you

1. When you get sick(common cold/virus) what happens?
Does virus go into each cell and take its nutrients.
Then after that does it keep on spreading and then your body tries to kill it and then you get fever and runny stuffy nose.

1.5. When you take antibiotics how does it kill bacteria?
i know they don't work on viruses because there are so many different forms of the virus

2. Where is water stored, and does it help to sweat when you are sick.
I know you are supposed to drink a lot, but why
is that because your body needs the nutrients that are lost in killing the virus

3. How do you get your self more white/red blood cells?
I heard eating tomatoes helps in getting red blood cells

4.If your vain gets cut open how long will it take to kill you or clot up

5. When your ear pops what does that mean?
isn't it where the pressure inside and outside and not the same
if that is true at what pressure does this happen?

6. Is it true that when you sleep your body goes through 45 minute intervals
and that is cut up into first 15 minutes it is a light sleep then something and Last REM
right i learned thing a couple years back so i don't remember much
and where does dreams come in

This is far too much for any single thread. Each of your questions can be a thread of its own, so I'm locking this one. Please create separate threads for the separate questions (I'm locking instead of deleting so you can still view your questions and copy them).
