The climate in autumn is divided according to the vernal equinox and solar terms. The weather is still very hot when autumn comes, so there is a saying that "firewood is burned in July and steamed in August". However, "beginning of autumn is cool in the morning and evening". Although it is hot at noon at this time, the temperature has dropped obviously in the morning and evening, and the temperature difference between the two days is large, so people can sleep at night. The late autumn after the autumnal equinox is a typical cool autumn season, with cool autumn wind, high clouds and light clouds and dry climate. If it is late autumn, autumn frost will come and the climate will turn cold.
From the above, we can see that autumn is a season with changeable temperature, with hot, dry and cold climate, and it is mainly wet in some parts of China, such as Sichuan Basin. Therefore, we must attach great importance to disease prevention and health care in autumn. Specifically, he said, we should pay attention to preventing the following diseases:
(1) Malaria control
There is a folk song: "August, millet is yellow, it's time to go to bed." Nine out of ten people are sick, and no one sends medicine soup. " This fully reflects the harm caused by malaria to people's health in the past.
Malaria, also called "cold and fever" and "shaking" by ordinary people, is the most common infectious disease in summer and autumn. Even now, there are still 200-300 million people suffering from malaria every year in the world, and as many as 3 million people die from malaria every year. It can be seen that we should pay attention to the prevention and treatment of malaria in autumn.
The pathogen that causes malaria is plasmodium, which is spread by mosquitoes. Plasmodium is a very small parasite, mainly parasitic in human liver cells and red blood cells, feeding on hemoglobin. When mosquitoes bite and suck blood, they bring plasmodium into human blood, causing the spread of the epidemic.
According to the attack cycle, malaria can be divided into three types: diurnal disease, malignant disease and malaria. The main symptoms of malaria are chills and severe shivering, which is called chills in medicine. It lasted for a few minutes or so and began to have a high fever. Fever can be as high as 40℃ After about 3 to 4 hours of sweating, the body temperature gradually dropped to normal. In addition to chills and fever, patients often feel weak, tired, do not want to eat, dizziness and drowsiness in the back and limbs. If you are a child, you may sometimes have convulsions. Severe malaria patients can be seen in coma, delirium and stiff neck, which is life-threatening.
Suffering from malaria, we should treat it in time. Commonly used drugs are chloroquine and primaquine. Chloroquine can kill plasmodium in blood, primaquine can kill plasmodium in liver and gametophyte in blood. The administration method is that the two drugs are combined for 8 days. In order to prevent recurrence, it is necessary to take rest treatment in the next spring to achieve the goal of radical cure. In addition, drugs can also be used to prevent malaria. At present, pyrimethamine is commonly used to prevent malaria. Generally, once a week can achieve the purpose of prevention, but it needs to be taken frequently. The prevention of traditional Chinese medicine also plays an important role in this respect, such as Changshan, Brucea javanica, Artemisia annua, etc. It has a good effect of preventing malaria and can be taken under the guidance of a doctor.
In addition to drug prevention, the key is to prevent mosquitoes and kill mosquitoes. Garbage, weeds and sewage pits should be removed; Doors and windows should be hung in the dormitory, and mosquito nets should be put down when sleeping at night; You can spray ddv and pesticides, or you can light mosquito-repellent incense, mosquito-repellent incense tablets and mugwort leaves. If you take some vitamin B/KLOC-0 tablets orally, you can also get good control effect. Personal protection is also important. Wear long-sleeved underwear at night, apply insect repellent to some parts, and be careful not to get close to mosquito nets when sleeping.
Because the main sources of malaria infection are malaria patients and infected people, we should actively treat malaria patients and infected people. In particular, people with worms are not easy to be found because they have no symptoms, and they are often found in general surveys, but they can play a great role in spreading malaria.
(2) Prevention and treatment of bronchial asthma.
Asthma attacks are mostly seasonal, starting in late summer and early autumn every year, reaching the peak in Mid-Autumn Festival and slowing down the winter. Asthma is an allergic disease. In autumn, the climate changes from hot to cold. Asthmatic patients can't adapt to this change, but allergic factors such as pollen, dust (gas, mold, cold air, etc. ) make asthma attack.
Asthma, also commonly known as "asthma bag" among the people, is a chronic disease that recurs and is difficult to treat, so people call it "old asthma bag". This disease is suitable for all ages. Both men and women can suffer from it, and the average prevalence rate is about 2%, which is a relatively common disease. It's easy to have recurrent attacks after getting asthma.
Patients often have premonitory symptoms before asthma attacks, such as repeated cough, chest tightness, itchy nose and continuous sneezing. If not treated in time, wheezing will happen soon. Because sputum is thick and difficult to cough up, patients are often forced to sit up. In severe cases, symptoms such as blue lips and nails, chills in limbs, sweating, dizziness and heartbeat may occur. The attack time varies from a few minutes to a few days.
The main treatment measures for bronchial asthma are:
When early cold symptoms appear, you should drink more tea water, or soak Flos Chrysanthemi Indici and Folium Mori 10g in boiling water instead of drinking tea, or take Chinese patent medicine Yinxi * * * and Qingre Xiaoyan tablets;
When there is a premonition of asthma, perphenazine tablets can be selected, each time 12.5 mg, 2 ~ 3 times a day; Chlorpheniramine tablets, 2 ~ 4 mg each time, 2 ~ 3 times a day;
The most commonly used antiasthmatic drug is aminophylline (0. 1 ~ 0.2g each time, 1 ~ 3 times a day). "Isoproterenol aerosol with concentration of 0.25% ~ 0.5% has rapid antiasthmatic effect; If asthma attacks moderately, the patient can't lie on his back, so he must be injected with drugs to stop asthma, and at the same time pay attention to anti-inflammatory and expectorant.
Because asthma is a chronic disease that is easy to attack, patients should actively take preventive measures during remission:
First of all, avoid allergens: common allergens are wind-borne flower powder (holly, castor, wormwood and so on. ), mold spores, house dust, mites, some productive dusts (such as cotton dust, silkworm moth dust, yam powder, some detergents, gases and drugs from some chemical plants), etc. If asthma patients know what they are allergic to, they should try to avoid it. If individuals are allergic to dust in the air, they need to make collective efforts to green the environment and purify the air.
Secondly, it should be treated in summer: from summer to beginning of autumn, people call it "summer", that is, "dog days", which is the time when the temperature is the highest and the yang is the strongest all year round, and "nourishing yang in spring and summer". Treatment at this time can enrich the yang of patients and enhance their disease resistance. Shanghai First Medical College and other units found that the effective rate of preventing seasonal recurrence was as high as 90% after treatment with Gui You Pill for warming and invigorating kidney. If it is combined with Bufei decoction or Yupingfeng powder, the effect will be better.
Thirdly, it should be pleasant: many clinical data show that asthma is induced by emotional factors, accounting for about 30% ~ 70%. Emotional causes include excessive tension and anxiety, especially anxiety, injustice and irritability. Although it is not the main cause of asthma, it can affect the frequency and conditions of attack. Therefore, asthma patients must be cheerful and open-minded, and avoid emotions to avoid recurrence.
Fourth, we should pay attention to diet recuperation: we should eat more radishes, white radishes and lakes. White radish can eliminate phlegm and turn qi, while asthma patients usually have excessive phlegm and qi; Carrots are rich in vitamin A, which can enhance resistance and prevent asthma caused by colds. If some asthma patients realize that they have eaten certain foods (such as shrimp and crab) to induce asthma or aggravate their condition, these foods must be strictly prohibited.
Fifth, we should avoid fatigue: because overwork will consume vital energy, damage the viscera, cause low resistance, and become the cause of asthma attack.
(3) prevention and treatment of constipation.
The reason why we should pay attention to the prevention and treatment of constipation in autumn is because the autumn climate is dry, which hurts body fluids and makes the intestines dry, which is easy to cause constipation.
Constipation refers to the symptoms of constipation, prolonged defecation or dry stool, and difficulty in defecation. It is not a serious illness, as long as it is treated properly or adjusted in life, it is generally easy to recover. However, if the treatment is improper and laxatives are abused, although it can be effective for a while, it will aggravate the condition for a long time. Severe constipation can cause abdominal pain, anorexia, nausea and vomiting, irritability and insomnia; But also easy to cause hemorrhoids, anal fissure, bloody stool and other diseases; Excessive exertion due to difficulty in defecation can still induce defects, especially in patients with hypertension and coronary heart disease, and even lead to cerebral hemorrhage and myocardial infarction. Therefore, we must not neglect the treatment and prevention of constipation.
Treatment: when symptomatic treatment is given to the cause of constipation. Those suffering from heat stagnation and body fluid deficiency are characterized by yellow urine, bad breath, yellow fur and slippery pulse, and should clear away heat and nourish yin. Medicinal Rehmannia glutinosa 12g, Ligustrum lucidum 10g, Fructus Cannabis 10g and Fructus Rosae Laevigatae10g; If it is blood deficiency and intestinal dryness, it is manifested as dizziness, palpitation, pale lips and tongue, and thready pulse. Medicinal Rehmannia glutinosa 12g, Angelica sinensis 9g, Fructus Cannabis 10g, Semen Persicae 10g and Semen Platycladi10g; Qi stagnation, frequent fever, constipation, abdominal distension and thready pulse, 9 grams of medicinal Aquilaria Resinatum, 9 grams of Radix Aucklandiae 10, 9 grams of Areca catechu, 6 grams of Fructus Aurantii Immaturus and 9 grams of Fructus Cannabis; If it is turbid and stagnant, the symptoms are tepid limbs, long urine, slow pulse and weakness. Pinellia ternata, Cinnamomum cassia twig, Cistanche deserticola and Cynomorium songaricum each 10g. Besides prescription, some Chinese patent medicines can also be used, such as Runchang Pill, Maren Zipi Pill, Qingning Pill and Geng Yi Pill.
Prevention: First of all, we should eat properly, because improper diet is one of the important factors causing constipation, mainly because of improper selection of food varieties. Generally speaking, vegetables, fruits and foods containing more oil can moisten the bowels and relax the bowels, so they can be used appropriately. The spicy and dry products can aggravate constipation and should be used less.
Secondly, we should pay attention to the spiritual life: because the spirit can often cause qi stagnation, which can affect the conduction function of the large intestine, make the fu-organs qi impassable, and lead to increased constipation. Therefore, constipation patients should avoid excessive emotions and maintain a good mood. At ordinary times, we should develop good defecation habits, so that the defecation movement of the rectum can produce conditioned reflex and defecate on time.
(4) Prevention and treatment of autumn diarrhea in children.
In autumn, some infants are prone to vomiting and diarrhea. These children vomit immediately after eating, and defecate 5 ~ 10 times a day, like egg drop soup, and the children are obviously thin. This disease is a typical seasonal disease, and doctors call it "autumn diarrhea".
"Autumn diarrhea" is a kind of infantile diarrhea caused by rotavirus infection, which is not only popular in all parts of China, but also spread all over the world. This is a worldwide disease.
This disease is very severe. In addition to being sent to the hospital for treatment in time, it is very important to do a good job of nursing, because reasonable home care also has a great relationship with children's recovery as soon as possible. In terms of diet, the principle of ensuring children's food intake is how much children should eat. Pay attention to keep the baby's abdomen warm, because the autumn climate is getting colder, the baby's abdomen is easy to catch cold, and the intestinal peristalsis of children with diarrhea has accelerated. If the abdomen catches cold again, the intestinal peristalsis will be faster, and diarrhea will not only stop, but also worsen.
The key to prevent "autumn diarrhea" is to prevent the disease from entering the mouth, not to give children raw water, to wash their hands with tap water before and after meals, and to pay attention to breastfeeding hygiene. For infants, breastfeeding should be actively promoted, because breast milk is the most ideal natural nutrition for infants, which contains many immune antibodies, bactericidal substances and enzymes that help digestion. Infants are not easy to get infectious diarrhea, which is beneficial to their healthy growth. If patients are found, they must be isolated and treated as soon as possible to prevent the spread of infection.
(5) Pay attention to the prevention and treatment of hair loss in autumn.
The reason why we should emphasize the prevention of hair loss in autumn is because the climate in autumn is dry, and if people do not maintain it properly, it is easy to hurt their lungs. According to the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, lung governs fur, and lung qi deficiency leads to insufficient external defense and unstable hair. Therefore, in autumn, hair loss is relatively increasing. At this time, if you don't pay attention to maintenance or blindly use drugs, it will aggravate hair loss.
Hair loss is caused by congenital genetic factors and acquired factors. There are many acquired factors. Try to correct some bad habits and prevent hair loss:
First, keep cheerful, avoid nervousness, and ensure adequate sleep and rest time every day. Excessive brain use, long-term insomnia, easy to lose hair prematurely;
Secondly, we should eat less greasy and spicy food, such as coffee, cigarettes and wine. Avoid overdose and taking toxic substances;
Third, we should pay attention to the care of hair, wash it once every 3 to 5 days, keep the hair in a clean environment all the time, wash it with less hot water and alkaline soap, and use less tap water with high chlorine content.
Fourth, do more head care at ordinary times, comb your hair 30 times before going to bed at night, brush off the dirt attached to your hair, promote the blood circulation of your scalp, which is beneficial to hair growth, hair fixation and hair luster.
If you lose your hair, you should treat it in time. If it belongs to the type of blood-heat dryness, the symptoms are dry hair, loose hair, dry and itchy scalp, red tongue and rapid pulse, which can be added and subtracted by Liang Xue Xiaofeng Powder: Radix Rehmanniae 12g, Radix Angelicae Sinensis 12g, Rhizoma Bletillae 12g, Herba Schizonepetae 6g, Periostracum Cicadae 6g, Notopterygii 6g, Radix Sophorae Flavescentis 6g. If it belongs to the damp-heat type of spleen and stomach, the symptom is that the hair is wet, such as rubbing oil or soaking in water, thinning and falling off, and the fur is yellow and greasy. Jianpi Yang Fa Decoction can be added and subtracted: fried atractylodes 12g, Alisma orientalis 12g, Polyporus umbellatus 12g, Dictamni Radicis 10g, Polygonum Multiflori Radix 10g.
(6) Prevention and treatment of chronic pharyngitis caused by autumn dryness.
The reason why we should pay special attention to the prevention and treatment of pharyngitis in autumn is because the autumn climate is sunny, rainy and dry. Pharyngolaryngitis will become chronic pharyngitis if it is not treated thoroughly in the acute stage.
Chronic pharyngitis is a diffuse inflammation of pharyngeal mucosa, submucosa and lymphoid tissue, which is often a part of chronic inflammation of upper respiratory tract and a common disease in otorhinolaryngology. The main symptoms of chronic pharyngitis are dry throat, sore throat and dark red throat, which are mostly caused by yin deficiency, body fluid injury and deficiency of fire. Treatment should be nourishing yin, clearing heat and clearing throat. Medicinal use: Radix Rehmanniae 12g, Radix Ophiopogonis 9g, Radix Paeoniae Alba 6g, Cortex Moutan 9g, Bulbus Fritillariae Cirrhosae 9g, and Radix Scrophulariae 6g. 6g of licorice, 0g of mint10g, 0g of boat-fruited Sterculia12g, 6g of olive. You can also use 3 grams of Ophiopogon japonicus, 3 grams of licorice 1.5 grams, 3 grams of honeysuckle, 3 grams of dark plum and 3 grams of olive to boil water. Always eat mung bean drinks or Sydney pulp in your diet. Mung bean drink is often taken with mung bean, green fruit and ebony boiled soup honey; In a big bowl, pear pulp is filled with cold and sweet spring. Slice pears, water chestnuts and white radishes, soak them in water and take them frequently. Or take juice from pear, water chestnut and white radish.
(7) Don't forget to prevent male impotence in autumn.
The reason is that the incidence of male impotence is often higher in autumn than in other seasons. According to statistics, there are 1 102 cases of impotence, and there are 772 cases with obvious seasonal changes. The distribution is: 386 cases in autumn, accounting for 50%; There are 1 16 people in summer, accounting for15%; 39 people in spring, accounting for 5%; There are 23 1 person in winter, accounting for 30%. It shows that the incidence of impotence in autumn is high.
Impotence is a disease in which male genitals are weak, unable to erect or unable to complete normal sexual intercourse. According to the statistics of relevant departments, in recent years, three-quarters of domestic divorce cases have been filed by women, most of which are because husbands suffer from sexual dysfunction, especially impotence.
Mental factors are the most common and main cause of impotence, accounting for about 85% ~ 90% of the total incidence. For example, the relationship between husband and wife is not harmonious and hostile to the woman; Or the sexual life between husband and wife is not harmonious, and the ideal sexual satisfaction can not be obtained, which causes aversion to sexual behavior and leads to impotence. * * * Environmental discomfort, such as multiple people living in a room, and being wary or worried when * * * can also lead to impotence. But many people are impotent because of lack of sexual knowledge, inner fear and fear of failure. Or * * * dissatisfied, mistaken for impotence, etc. Because this kind of people have doubts or fears, although they have sexual requirements every time, they are nervous, afraid and worried in their minds when preparing for * * *. As a result, the erection was soft and could not be * * *. In addition, excessive * * and excessive sexual intercourse are also common causes of impotence. Too many times of sexual intercourse, especially when * * * is repeated once and then * * * continuously, will cause * * * erection and * * * due to the need for stronger * * *. Over time, the erectile nerve center is in a state of inhibition, which will produce functional impotence.
There is also a kind of impotence, which is organic and difficult to treat at present because of the anatomical defects of sexual organs.
Traditional Chinese medicine believes that this disease is related to the liver, kidney and Yangming meridians, which can be divided into the following categories clinically:
Deficiency of kidney-yang: symptoms include cold form, cold limbs, soreness of waist and knees, impotence, fat and moist tongue, and deep and thin pulse. When warming and tonifying kidney-yang, Yougui Pill is used for addition and subtraction: Radix Rehmanniae Preparata 10g, Cornus officinalis 8g, Fructus Lycii 10g, Semen Cuscutae 10g, Cortex Cinnamomi 8g and Radix Aconiti Lateralis 10g. Morinda officinalis10g, epimedium10g, actinolite 8g and antler glue 8g.

Liver depression: symptoms include impotence, hypochondriac swelling and pain, and rapid pulse, which should soothe the liver and relieve depression. Xiaoyao Powder is used for addition and subtraction: Bupleurum chinense 10g, Paeonia lactiflora 10g, Angelica sinensis 10g, Atractylodis Macrocephala 9g, Poria 8g, Cuscuta chinensis 8g, Glycyrrhiza uralensis 5g, Rhizoma Cyperi 5g and Fructus Psoraleae1g..
Damp-heat betting: symptoms include impotence, wet scrotum, red and astringent urine, yellow and greasy fur and slippery pulse. Add and subtract Longdan Xiegan Decoction: Gentiana 65438 00g, Scutellaria baicalensis 65438 00g, Plantago 65438 00g, Gardenia 6g, Alisma orientalis 8g, Akebia Akebia 6g, Smilax China 8g and Akebia Akebia 6g.
Besides medication, acupuncture therapy can also be used: Shenshu, Mingmen, Sanyinjiao, Zusanli, Guanyuan and Bajiao. Choose 3 ~ 5 acupoints at a time, and use the tonic method for filiform acupuncture or acupuncture. Dietotherapy can choose 90 grams of leek, wash and cut into sections, slice sheep liver 120 grams, and stir-fry with vinegar in an iron pan, which has a good effect on impotence caused by falling fire.
(8) Prevention and treatment of Fasciola hepatica.
The prevention and treatment of Jiang Ye's disease should be put forward in autumn, because the infection of the disease mostly occurs in autumn. The adult of Fasciola zingiberensis is about 3 ~ 7 cm long and 65438 02 cm wide. When he was alive, it was flesh red and looked like a piece of ginger. Adult parasites in the small intestine can cause digestive tract and systemic symptoms, such as abdominal pain, abdominal distension and diarrhea, and anemia, edema and developmental disorders can occur in severe cases. Because Jiang Ye's disease is infected by raw water chestnut, water chestnut, etc., the infection of this disease mostly occurs in the harvest period of this kind of food in autumn. Especially when picking and eating, there are more chances of being infected. For severe patients, we should actively support treatment, improve nutrition, correct anemia, and then carry out anthelmintic treatment. Insecticides include thiodichlorophenol and hexachloroparaxylene.
The key to prevent this disease is to advocate not eating water chestnut, water chestnut and lotus root raw as much as possible, and not gnawing the skin with your teeth. When eating raw, be sure to wash it, soak it in boiling water for a few minutes or bask in the sun for a day before eating. Pay attention to hygiene, don't drink raw water, wash your hands when touching aquatic plants or sewage to prevent metacercariae pollution. (9) Kill mosquitoes in autumn.
This is because mosquitoes are the vectors of malaria and other diseases, especially in early autumn, which is the "peak season" for mosquito activities and the high incidence season for malaria. For mosquitoes, the ideal breeding grounds are stagnant pools, ditches and autumn, which come from hot and humid summer. Many places are low-lying, which leads to stagnant water, which is very conducive to mosquito breeding. The eggs, larvae and pupae in front of mosquito adults are inseparable from the place where there is water.
There are many kinds of mosquitoes, and there are more than 2000 kinds in the world. Mosquitoes like to suck blood, but only female mosquitoes suck blood. Mosquitoes don't like bright light and generally don't dare to come out for activities during the day, but at dusk, they fly out of dark corners in droves to find targets and gently stop on people's skin. Because mosquitoes spread many diseases, we should pay attention to mosquito prevention. He said that generally speaking, the most effective way to eliminate mosquitoes is to do a good job in environmental sanitation, remove stagnant water in front of and behind houses, especially ditches with stagnant water, and dredge them in time. Swallows, bats, dragonflies and frogs that can kill mosquitoes should be protected and let them shoulder the heavy responsibility of killing mosquitoes.
