Patients experience low-grade fever, night sweats, fatigue, poor diet, malnutrition and other symptoms that often manifest as a wasting disease.
When it comes to diseases, I believe we must not be unfamiliar, in our daily lives, we often talk about the disease is mainly high blood pressure, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, cerebral hemorrhage and so on.
These diseases may bring very great harm to the body, and the number of people suffering from the disease is also relatively large, resulting in very serious consequences. Today, I want to talk to you but not these, we want to talk to you about an infectious disease, that is, tuberculosis.
Tuberculosis is an infectious disease of the lungs, caused mainly by Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Mycobacterium tuberculosis can be spread through airborne droplets and then colonize the lungs, causing localized allergies or sensitivities that can lead to lung lesions.
What are the symptoms of tuberculosis?
When tuberculosis occurs, due to inflammatory infection and immune response, patients will experience symptoms such as low-grade fever, night sweats, fatigue, poor diet, malnutrition, etc., which often manifests itself as a wasting disease. Therefore, balanced nutrition and sufficient sleep time are especially emphasized in daily life.
What should TB patients pay attention to in their daily lives?
In daily life, it is important to go to bed early and get up early to ensure sufficient sleep and sleep quality. Usually pay attention to avoid strenuous physical activities, do not go to places with unclean air, and pay attention to isolation. Wear a mask in public *** places to avoid the spread of Mycobacterium tuberculosis, which can infect others.
For patients with tuberculosis, attention should be paid to strengthen the meat, eggs, milk and other protein-rich foods, as well as vitamin-rich vegetables and fruits. With sufficient rest and nutritional assurance, and with reasonable medication, the tuberculosis bacillus can be killed and the recovery of the disease can be accelerated.
In addition, it should be emphasized that for TB patients, drug treatment should last for more than half a year for full recovery.
How should we prevent tuberculosis? We should pay attention to the following points
1We need to improve immunity
In our daily life, in order to prevent tuberculosis, we need to pay attention to improve our immunity. Specifically, we should do this. We need to have a healthy lifestyle, no smoking, no alcoholism. Smoking has a great effect on our health and we need to pay attention to it.
We need to have a proper exercise, the elderly can often play tai chi, square dancing, walking and so on are very good exercise. For young people, in order to improve immunity, can not work overtime for a long time, including often stay up late, which may cause very serious damage to the body. We need to pay attention.
2Protection in daily life to avoid cross infection
In our daily life, we need to protect ourselves and reduce the time we spend in public **** places. If we have to travel often in public **** places, we should also wear masks often, which is very necessary.
Open windows frequently and disinfect the air regularly. It is also important to wear a mask when visiting a sick person. Tuberculosis is also spread through the air.
Three. Timely vaccination
With advances in medicine, a vaccine for tuberculosis is now available. Timely vaccination can reduce the incidence of TB. Basically, today's newborns have already been vaccinated with this vaccine. However, we also need to be aware that there may be some remote areas where vaccination is not timely. We need to be aware of screening and diagnosis.
4 Be polite
This infectious agent of TB can be spread through the air. The saliva of a TB patient may contain this bacteria. Be civilized and polite, don't spit, practice good hygiene and don't sneeze.
