Prevention and control of common summer diseases

Summer is not only high temperature and humidity, is the peak of the onset of intestinal infectious diseases and skin diseases, therefore, we should pay more attention to the prevention and health care of summer diseases while doing a good job of heat prevention and cooling. 1, hot cold The heat and sweat make us consume a lot of energy, coupled with the general appetite of people in summer is relatively poor, if there is not enough nutrition in time to supplement the human body’s resistance will then decline, it is easy to catch a cold. In addition, some people like to use cold water to rinse their heads or take cold showers when they are hot and sweaty in order to be cool; blowing non-stop on the electric fan when they sleep; keeping the air conditioner on for a long time in the room, resulting in a large temperature difference between indoor and outdoor, all of which can cause the occurrence of summer colds. High temperature will consume a lot of body fluids, pay attention to drink more water, drink a small amount of water many times, generally each time to 300 ml to 500 ml is appropriate, if necessary, you can drink some light salt water. At least 8 hours of sleep should be guaranteed, and a warm bath at night can help you sleep. If you don’t sleep well at night, you can take a nap at noon. In addition, meals must be reasonable, you can eat more food like tomatoes, cucumbers and other foods with high vitamin content, and eat more lean meat to increase protein intake. 2, bacteriophage dysentery intestinal diseases is the high incidence of summer, and bacteriophage dysentery is one of the most common intestinal infectious diseases, it is not only related to fly breeding activities, but also with the heat people like to eat cold food caused by gastrointestinal disorders. Mosquito infection is also an important way of intestinal infection in summer, such as malaria is transmitted through mosquito bites with bacteria. Therefore, in summer, it is best not to put the day’s food into the next day, because the heat is easy to make the food spoiled, and bacteria are very easy to grow. Open fruit, such as watermelon, try to eat it all at once or use plastic wrap to seal it and then put it in the refrigerator, even if it is put in the refrigerator, the time is better not to exceed 24 hours. Also, brussel sprouts are more popular dishes in summer, but, if the people who do brussel sprouts do not pay attention to hygiene, the people who eat them are also very susceptible to germs, so it is best to eat less. 3, heat stroke hot summer, the human body sweats more, and the elderly body water than young people to less, coupled with the physiological response is slow, so in the summer is most likely to “dehydration”. “Dehydration will make the blood sticky, which is like “adding oil to the fire” for the elderly with hypertension, hyperlipidemia or cardiovascular disease, and the blood transfusion to the brain will be blocked and slowed, which will naturally increase the probability of stroke. In terms of prevention, the first thing is to pay attention to hydration. Older people should “drink often even when they are not thirsty”. Families of patients who have had a history of stroke should always pay attention to the patient’s symptoms. Generally speaking, dizziness and headache, numbness and weakness of the body, frequent yawning, etc. are the precursors of stroke, and when these symptoms are obvious, you must go to the hospital, not as a general cold or fatigue. The prevention of summer heat should be timely and moderate, the diet structure should be scientific and reasonable, eat more cool food, such as bitter melon, eggs, lotus seeds, etc. “Protection” drugs should be prepared. 4, “cold” allergy summer due to high temperatures, allergic children who suddenly enter the air conditioning room, as if from the summer suddenly into the late autumn season, the upper respiratory tract by the sudden attack of cold air, the original is in a state of high reaction of the trachea, bronchi will reflexively spasm, causing coughing, shortness of breath. In addition, children like to eat cold drinks in summer, which is also a “cold” stimulus. Many children like to drink a lot of ice soda after exercise, and within a short time they will be coughing and shortness of breath. …… For these allergic children, summer should start with the prevention of “cold”. First of all, air conditioning should be used sparingly, not directly into the air-conditioned room as soon as you enter the home, and it is best not to use air conditioning when you can use an electric fan. Secondly, home air conditioning should pay attention to regular cleaning, because the dust mites in the dust is the main allergens. Finally, do not open the refrigerator after exercise to pick up cold drinks, you can first drink some warm water, try to eat less or do not eat cold drinks. 5, skin disease Summer is hot and humid, which is conducive to the growth of various fungi and bacteria, plus people are prone to sweating in the summer, and the skin is prone to dampness, so if we don’t wipe it off and keep it dry, fungi will attack our skin and cause ringworm. Contact with people or animals suffering from ringworm and common household utensils can be contagious and, moreover, is more closely related to the body’s resistance. The most common type of ringworm is tinea pedis, or what we call “foot fungus.” People who like to wear leather shoes are prone to get ringworm because leather shoes are not breathable, the humidity and temperature of the feet increase, and if the local skin is not clean, a lot of skin flakes accumulate on the surface, in which case the fungus grows easily and ringworm occurs. In addition to redness, erosion, and small blisters on the skin between the toes, itchiness and odor can also occur. In addition, many young and strong men tend to get ringworm and lichen planus (sweat patches) in the summer, which is related to the amount of sweating they do. Because of their work, many people do not get cleaned in time after sweating, and fungi can multiply on the skin and form papules, blisters, and scales that damage the skin. Keeping the skin clean and dry is a basic requirement to prevent and control ringworm. Separating household utensils as much as possible is an important measure to prevent ringworm transmission. Pay attention to personal hygiene, keep your skin dry and use talcum powder in summer; bathe and change your underwear regularly, and use cotton socks for men who must wear leather shoes to absorb sweat and breathe; don’t share shoes and socks and towels; and try to avoid walking barefoot in places like swimming pools and gyms.
