It is necessary to understand the transmission routes and prevention methods of respiratory infectious diseases, and enhance and improve self-prevention awareness. The following is the health knowledge about winter disease prevention for your reference.

What should I pay attention to in winter?

1, tonic should be targeted: tonic must be designed for deficiency, not advocating that everyone should take tonic in winter, especially those who are young, strong, painless or have good cold tolerance, and there is no need to make tonic. If such people supplement, it is not only useless, but also harmful. According to the ancient books of Chinese medicine, a person died suddenly because of supplementing a large amount of Rehmannia glutinosa to tonify the kidney, so the ancients warned: "Misuse will cause harm, although ginseng and licorice are all poisons and the like." Recently, it has been reported that eating ginseng causes blindness and ginseng causes death. Two healthy young people in Henan province took 30 grams and 800 milliliters of ginseng rubra, and after ten minutes, they developed symptoms such as dizziness, irritability, blurred vision, language confusion and confusion. Abroad, some people in the United States and Russia often take a lot of ginseng, and one person in Russia once took 500 ml of ginseng tincture to death. Therefore, it must be emphasized that tonic should be differentiated according to physique and illness. As the saying goes: medicine is compatible with disease, and rhubarb is also supplemented; The medicine is not symptomatic, and ginseng antler is also toxic. This is a valuable experience.

2. Appropriate tonic: the purpose of tonic is to make up for its deficiency, so as to restore and enhance the healthy qi in the body, and then you can exorcise evil spirits. If the tonic is insufficient, the above goal cannot be achieved; If there are too many, there will be side effects. If you take too much ginseng, it will cause poisoning, which is called "ginseng syndrome" * * * ADHD, headache, irritability, fullness and hyperhidrosis. Too much pilose antler can cause dryness, redness and alopecia; Excessive eating of Rehmannia glutinosa can cause abdominal distension, panting, loose stools and so on. Especially for children, Chinese medicine has a very good understanding of children's physiological characteristics, pointing out that they are naive yin and yang, easy to be false and easy to be real. Generally speaking, children should not blindly supplement ginseng and bird's nest. At present, newspapers and magazines report that children's precocious puberty and obesity, especially the former, are related to many kind parents blindly giving their children tonic, which should attract the attention of society and health public opinion. Now children have made great progress and favorable conditions in the aspects of prevention and treatment, so the phenomenon of children's physical weakness is rare. Generally speaking, winter tonic is not suitable for children.

3, compensation should be appropriate: on the one hand, we should pay attention to whether there are contraindications. If you were suffering from a cold, stomach trouble, bronchitis and other acute diseases, you should not take supplements. Second, we should follow the principle of "if it is appropriate to make up, it will make up, and if it is appropriate to stay, it will be barren". That is to say, it is not greasy, stagnant or preserved, and it is harmless when used with Xuan Tong drugs. Third, we must prevent "behind closed doors." Because tonics have astringent, hemostatic, antiperspirant, antidiarrheal, diuretic, and fixation effects, it is not conducive to exorcism, so tonics do not forget to exorcise evil spirits and treat diseases, giving way to evil spirits and excluding them from the body. Fourth, tonic should start with a small dose, gradually add a large amount, and slowly figure out the effect. In particular, patients with customized ointments and pills should first take 3-5 doses according to the prescription to see if there are any side effects, then ask a doctor to prescribe, and then modify the prescription to make ointment or pills for long-term use. It is recommended to take supplements under the guidance of a doctor, and don't take it for granted to buy medicine supplements.
