Whenever the seasons change and the temperature changes, the flu and the common cold tend to run rampant in the population. The first time you have to go to the hospital, you’ll be able to get a good idea of what to expect.
The patient’s daily diet should be balanced, supplemented with foods rich in vitamins and trace elements, such as fresh fruits, vegetables, eggs and fish and meat, and hydrated in moderation to prevent respiratory dryness to reduce the occurrence of respiratory diseases.
Improve indoor air quality and humidity, even in the cold winter months, and open windows regularly for ventilation. Patients can open windows for half an hour every day at about 10 a.m. when the temperature is relatively high and the sun is shining.
Avoid going to public places with large crowds because public places are places where people gather and where influenza viruses and pneumococci reside in the nasal cavity and throat of people, and they are discharged into the air with people’s exhalation and saliva droplets. Therefore, people are easily infected when they drink, talk or laugh. So public places are the easiest places for respiratory infections to spread, and patients should be careful to wear masks when they go out.
Hand washing plays an important role in keeping patients away from colds. The patient should wash his hands carefully before eating anything and develop the habit of washing his hands regularly.
