Patient's question:
Soon while browsing a website, I happened to come across many articles about how colds can lead to complications and hazards. I am a mother of a precious child, and I am very worried now. I want to know what complications colds can lead to?Doctor's answer:
Nephritis: Nephritis is an autoimmune response to the invasion of streptococcus. However, if the immune system is weak and the body is allergic, streptococcus can rise to the kidneys, causing diffuse inflammation in both kidneys. Rheumatoid Arthritis and Many Other Serious Diseases: Western medical theory believes that rheumatoid arthritis is caused by a streptococcal infection. When the body has a cold, its ability to fight disease and immunity decline, making it easier to contract streptococcus.
