It's midsummer and the temperature is high. After falling, the humidity in the air increases and the oxygen content in the air decreases, which will adversely affect patients with cardiopulmonary diseases or other chronic diseases. Here are some suggestions about summer health. Let's have a look!
1, summer intestinal diseases are more common in:
Acute enteritis, gastroenteritis, dysentery, indigestion caused by improper cold food and other diseases. Common symptoms of gastrointestinal diseases: acute abdominal pain, diarrhea, nausea and vomiting or acute high fever. Patients with mild gastrointestinal diseases can take Weichangan, Huoxiang Zhengqi Water, Norfloxacin and Berberine Tablets. The frequency of diarrhea increases or the stool contains mucus and purulent bloody stool. Patients with acute diarrhea who feel heavy and have no obvious abdominal pain and diarrhea due to high fever should go to the hospital for laboratory examination in time to confirm the nature of the disease and treat it to prevent the disease from getting worse due to dehydration.
Prevention: raw vegetables, fruits or frozen food should be heated and disinfected before eating, cold food and iced drinks should be moderate, and fresh fish, crabs and aquatic products should be eaten every day.
2, heatstroke:
Heatstroke is one of the most common diseases in summer. Medical emergency caused by excessive sweating or abnormal thermoregulation in high temperature and high humidity environment. Symptoms of heatstroke: general fatigue, dizziness, chest tightness, palpitation, thirst, hyperhidrosis or anhidrosis, muscle spasm, and severe coma is life-threatening.
Prevention and treatment measures: quickly move the patient to a ventilated and cool place, take Huoxiang Zhengqi water and supplement salt water, and the patient will recover soon. If the patient has a temperature greater than 38℃, facial flushing, sweating, burning skin, decreased blood pressure and rapid pulse collapse, he should go to the hospital for treatment in time. People who work and exercise in high temperature environment should strengthen ventilation and heat insulation measures, rest and eat reasonably, supplement salt water, and properly master the intensity and time of exercise. Specially remind patients with cardiovascular diseases, hypertension, low lung function and central nervous system diseases to arrange their daily life scientifically, check regularly and take medicine on time in this season to prevent acute attacks of chronic diseases.
3, cardiovascular disease:
In summer, due to high temperature and humidity, the oxygen content in the air decreases, which increases the cardiopulmonary function load of patients with cardio-cerebral-pulmonary diseases. Patients with myocardial ischemia, hypertension and asthma, if they have chest tightness, chest pain, arrhythmia or epigastric pain, back pain, toothache and other symptoms, should be examined in time to prevent sudden changes in their condition.
Prevention and treatment measures: patients should regularly check their blood pressure, chest tightness and chest pain, do ECG examination in time, and take quick-acting Jiuxin pills and nitroglycerin first aid drugs. If the symptoms cannot be alleviated, you should go to the hospital for examination and treatment in time.
4. Common respiratory diseases in summer:
Pharyngitis, adenoiditis, tracheitis and asthma. Symptoms: dry throat, sore throat, cough and asthma, fever and other symptoms.
Preventive measures: eat less spicy barbecue food in summer, drink plenty of water and cold drinks to keep the stool unobstructed.
5, dermatology common diseases:
Rubella, urticaria, folliculitis or furuncle. Because the humid environment destroys the body's body temperature regulation function, it makes the body sweat poorly, leading to skin inflammatory diseases such as prickly heat and boils, affecting people's work and rest, and reducing the body's defense ability.
Preventive measures: eat less spicy food, maintain good living habits, ventilate indoors frequently, take a warm bath, and don't rinse with cold water.
