Egyptian Presidential Advisor for Health and Preventive Affairs Mohamed Awad Tag-Eddin warned on Tuesday against using a mix injection of antibiotic, cortisone, pain reliever, colloquially known as the "Hitler Shot", to treat bad cold symptoms.
In response to some people using the "Hitler Shot," Tag-Eddin said: "This is erroneous and not scientific. Drug usage at random causes a lot of health issues because disease requires identification before therapy.
“There are common colds, and there is confusion between colds as a result of influenza, and some cases of coronavirus. Some patients with chronic diseases are more vulnerable to problems and complications of coronavirus and the common cold,” he added.
Tag-Eddin emphasised that the patient should visit the physician who, following the diagnosis, offers the best course of treatment for him.
On Monday, a man tragically perished in the Ain Shams neighbourhood of Cairo after taking a "Hitler Shot" on the advice of a drugstore employee and developing difficulties as a result.
Amr's uncle, Ahmed Darwish, said in public interviews that his nephew demanded therapy rather than an injection for a cold, and the pharmacist suggested he take two shots of "Hitler" as a result.
