The elderly are weak, most of them suffer from basic diseases and need to take medicine for a long time.
In the special period of the new pneumonia epidemic, the elderly are the most dangerous group and the most assured group. My parents, who were crazy about health articles in the family group, became "life and death" Buddhist old people without masks during the epidemic.
So as children, we must always care about:
"What kind of masks should the elderly wear (must wear)?"
"In order to go to the hospital less, can the doctor prescribe medicine for a few more days?"
"It's a waste to throw a mask? How to reuse it? "
"..."
Small questions online consultation!
If there are signs of a cold, you can observe it before you decide.
If you have a fever, see a doctor in time!
If the elderly have been to a high-incidence epidemic area or contacted people from a high-incidence epidemic area in the past two weeks, or contacted patients in COVID-19, or lived in COVID-19, they should see a doctor in time if they have suspected symptoms.
If there is no contact history, no fever and other symptoms are mild, you can observe them for a day or two or go to a community hospital for treatment.
If you have a fever (higher than 37.3 degrees Celsius), you should see a doctor in time.
Before going to the hospital, do a good job of protection, wear a mask, keep a distance from people, try to avoid contact with surrounding objects, and go home and wash your hands.
Of course.
It is recommended to see a doctor nearby. For example, go to the community hospital near your home and take preventive measures.
If the routine medication plan is interrupted, it may have more serious consequences. Don't stop taking the medicine yourself.
Medical surgical masks are preferred,
The second choice of medical nursing mask.
N95/KN95 is not recommended for the elderly. Especially for the elderly with chronic lung disease and heart disease, wearing N95/KN95 mask for a long time may cause dyspnea. Under normal circumstances, medical protective masks will do.
Reuse is not recommended in principle, but if there is a shortage of masks, the following practices can reduce the risk:
Wearing time is short, if you don't go to dangerous environment, you can choose ultraviolet disinfection as the first choice. If there is no ultraviolet disinfection box at home, you can put the mask on the balcony and other places where the sun can shine, and ventilate and sterilize it.
Long-term wear, or in high-risk environment, or contact with high-risk groups, it is recommended not to reuse.
It is recommended not to go out and choose activities at home.
However, if you go to a park with few people, you don't have to take a bus, or in a residential area, you will hardly have close contact with strangers (1 meter), and occasionally you can let the elderly wear masks to go out for a walk.
Exercise moderately, and don't have difficulty breathing because of wearing a mask.
Old people should avoid going out shopping.
If you really need to go out:
● Always wear a mask (don't take it off! )
● Walk back and forth as much as possible.
● Avoid people flow.
● Don't touch live birds and game.
● Don't talk to people.
● Buy as early as possible to reduce the detention time.
● Wash your hands after going home (take off your mask first and then wash your hands).
You can choose a vegetable market close to home, avoid the rush hour and walk there.
Don't talk much when you meet acquaintances on the road, keep a safe distance of 1m (protect yourself and others), wash your hands after you go home, and put your clothes in a ventilated place.
Use products with little irritation and pay attention to ventilation.
If there are no new pneumonia patients at home, it is enough to choose products with less irritation for daily disinfection, and 84 disinfectant can be wiped or diluted with 75% alcohol. Because the respiratory tract of the elderly is sensitive and fragile, strong products may cause irritation to the respiratory tract of the elderly.
Rooms with elderly people should be kept warm. When ventilated, if conditions permit, the elderly can rest in other rooms. If there are no conditions, we should keep the elderly warm, avoid direct wind blowing, and prevent the elderly from catching a cold.
If conditions permit, you can bask in bask in the quilt on the balcony.
● Don't listen to rumors!
At present, there is no evidence that fumigating wine, vinegar and moxibustion can disinfect COVID-19.
The ability of expectoration of the elderly is decreased, and sometimes it is necessary to assist expectoration. Strictly observing the operation process of auxiliary sputum excretion can protect operators and articles and reduce the occurrence of infection.
Auxiliary expectoration method:
Pat the back to loosen the secretions attached to the trachea, bronchi and lungs, so as to facilitate their discharge.
Catch the expectoration with a paper towel, put it in a bag and seal it or spray alcohol for disinfection, then wash your hands.
Indoor disinfection and ventilation.
The accompanying personnel should take precautions when going out and wash their hands after entering the door.
Personal belongings are separated from the elderly.
Some elderly people have poor self-care ability, and inevitably need someone to accompany them, so it is difficult to achieve absolute self-isolation. In order to cut off the route of transmission, it is necessary to ensure the health of the entourage. The accompanying personnel should pay attention to reducing going out, take preventive measures when going out if necessary, and wash their hands frequently.
Don't eat game, don't touch live birds.
● Eat more fruits and vegetables.
● Drink water frequently.
● Eat digestible food.
● Buy ingredients at regular locations.
● Wash dishes and cook, wash hands before and after meals, and wash dishes for disinfection.
● Don't believe in rumors and eat some drugs or food indiscriminately. COVID-19 is a new pathogen that infects human beings. At present, there is no medicine or food to prevent it.
The elderly are at high risk of infectious diseases.
It is also a critical group after infection.
Wearing a mask is worse than getting sick.
"The whole family wears masks."
"It's better than eating a bunch of tonics."
Please listen to your child's advice this time.
