First, the key points of health care for the sick people in rainy season
First of all, the rainy season is a period of high incidence of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. At this time, due to the influence of climate change, blood pressure is easy to rise, and myocardial oxygen consumption is also increased, resulting in an increase in blood viscosity and obstruction of blood return to the heart, which is easy to lead to myocardial infarction and stroke. Therefore, patients with cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases should not only take antihypertensive drugs on time according to the doctor's advice in rainy season, but also monitor their blood pressure regularly and record their fluctuations. Once you find that your blood pressure is elevated, you should seek medical advice in time.
Secondly, the rainy season is also easy to induce various joint diseases, and rainy days will make old diseases (waist injury and knee arthritis) recur. Therefore, patients with such diseases should pay attention to keep warm, change clothes and trousers in time, protect knee joints and other parts prone to illness, and massage or knead the affected parts properly to promote blood circulation and relieve pain.
The high temperature and high humidity in the rainy season are favorable seasons for the growth of "mold". At this time, the mold on the human skin that was originally in a "dormant" state is easy to "resurrect" and quickly grows and spreads on toes, palms, etc., leading to various skin diseases (tinea manus, tinea pedis, eczema, etc. ). For patients with dermatoses, besides using antifungal drugs in time, they should also pay attention to personal hygiene, take a bath frequently, change clothes, shoes and socks frequently, and keep their body surface dry. Washing utensils need special personnel to prevent cross infection.
Second, the main points of health care for ordinary people (healthy people) in rainy season
For patients in rainy season, targeted measures should be taken according to their own diseases. For ordinary people (normal people), it is very important to get rid of dampness in rainy season.
Meiyu season belongs to the long summer season in a year, and the long summer should correspond to the spleen. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the spleen governs ascending, clearing, transporting and transforming, the stomach governs receiving and transforming, and the spleen and stomach rise and fall. Spleen likes dryness and hates dampness, and spleen is healthy, so that Shui Gu's subtle nutrition can be delivered to the whole body and the normal physiological function of the body can be maintained. On the other hand, if the spleen is trapped by damp pathogen, the transport and transformation function is abnormal, and the absorption and decomposition function of the stomach will also be affected, it is easy to have symptoms such as emaciation, anorexia, diarrhea and backache.
