I read an article that the debt load of Russians has reached record levels, and mortgage payments account for only 25% of debts, the rest is consumer loans.
The amount of debt per borrower also increased significantly. The average debt of borrowers with one open loan increased by 12% over the year, to 137 thousand rubles, with two - by 11%, to 284 thousand rubles.

The amount of debt of citizens who serve three and four loans added 14% each, reaching 403 and 514 thousand rubles, respectively. The load of citizens with five or more loans increased to 729 thousand rubles.

The total debt of households - including loans from IFIs - reached 15.9 trillion rubles. This is 27.84% of the monetary income of the population - an absolute historical record.

On average, borrowers give about a third of their income on mortgages and a quarter of their income on consumer loans.

Do you have consumer loans? And for what? What for? And why didn’t you manage to save up so as not to buy a thing on credit? If you do not take into account urgent and force majeure needs, such as for medical treatment, then WHY do people buy a thing on credit? I understand when this is housing, often without a loan. can't get by. And if it's a phone, TV, furniture? Please tell me what made you take consumer credit, if it's not difficult for you and if it's not a secret.

Causes of sore throat in a pregnant woman

It is known that the immune system in pregnant women is reduced. A weakened woman's body becomes sensitive to pathogens - viruses and bacteria. Any cold can cause the development of a sore throat or provoke an exacerbation of chronic tonsillitis. Sore throat in pregnant women is a manifestation of a disease, most often infectious. The most common diseases in pregnant women:

• flu;
• exacerbation of chronic tonsillitis;
• pharyngitis and laryngitis of bacterial or viral origin;
• Infectious mononucleosis.

Viral or bacterial intoxication along with elevated temperature can harm the baby, cause fetal hypoxia or placental abruption. Sometimes an infection in a pregnant woman causes a miscarriage.

General principles of therapeutic measures for sore throat in pregnant women

Treatment of sore throat is carried out according to 2 principles:

1. local effect on the inflammatory process;
2. decrease in intoxication and temperature.

To speed up recovery, both types of treatment should be used simultaneously.

Therapeutic measures to reduce intoxication and temperature:

• wipe should be applied warm water or take a cool shower;
• it is recommended to drink plenty of alkaline mineral water"Borjomi" without gas in small portions throughout the day;
• drinking infusion of wild rose, fruit drink and tea with lemon at room temperature brings great benefits;
• at a temperature, do not take hot drinks. Food should also be at room temperature.

Local effect on the inflammatory process:

• at the very beginning of the disease, rinsing the mouth with chamomile and sage is effective, as well as weak saline solution. Rinses, which are done every 2 hours, free the mucous membranes of the mouth from pathogenic bacteria. Regular use of rinses stops the development of the disease also because herbal infusions have anti-inflammatory and anti-edematous effects;
• sprays, lozenges (, Lizobakt, etc.) have a good local effect on the infection in the throat.

Treatment of angina in a pregnant woman

Propolis tincture for rinsing is used in a diluted form. To prepare the solution, pour 1 tbsp into 1 glass of water. l. pharmacy tincture of propolis. Rinse your mouth after 2-3 hours for 2 minutes.

In conclusion, we emphasize that for the treatment of throat pregnant women are offered a huge choice. medicines for rinsing or sucking tablets. However, any medicine can cause various reactions in people prone to allergies. Pregnant women should be especially careful when choosing a medicine. In the first trimester, licorice is not recommended, procedures with essential oils fir, rosemary. Do not use sage internally.
