Malaria control
Malaria, commonly known as "swinging", is the most common infectious disease in summer and autumn. Its pathogen is plasmodium parasitic in human liver cells and red blood cells, and its disseminator is mainly mosquitoes.
The main symptoms of malaria are chills and tremors. After a few minutes, I began to have a high fever, which can reach 40℃. After sweating for about 3 to 4 hours, the body temperature gradually drops to normal. Besides chills and fever, patients often feel weak, tired, dizzy and don't want to eat. If you are a child, you may sometimes have convulsions. Patients with severe malaria may be unconscious, gibberish, stiff neck and even life-threatening.
For the prevention of malaria, the key is to prevent mosquitoes and kill mosquitoes. Remove garbage and weeds, and fill the sewage pit; Curtains and screens should be hung in the bedroom, and mosquito nets should be put down when sleeping at night; You can spray mosquito repellent, or you can order mosquito-repellent incense and mugwort leaves; You can also take some vitamin B 1 orally. At the same time, pay attention to personal protection, start wearing long-sleeved underwear at night, apply mosquito repellent to exposed parts, and avoid touching mosquito nets when sleeping.
Prevention and treatment of bronchial asthma
Asthma is an allergic disease, and its attacks are mostly seasonal. Every year from late summer to early autumn, the Mid-Autumn Festival reaches its peak and the winter slows down. The disease can be suffered by men, women and children, and it is easy to recur, with an average prevalence rate of 2%. There are often premonitory symptoms before asthma attacks, such as repeated coughing, chest tightness and continuous sneezing. If not treated in time, acute asthma may occur. Because the 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, and rapid heartbeat may occur. The attack time varies from a few minutes to a few days. Asthma is a chronic disease that is easy to attack. Asthma patients should actively prevent it in remission: First, try to avoid allergens: common allergens include wind-blown flower powder (such as holly, castor and wormwood). ), mold spores, mites, and some productive dust (such as cotton dust, silkworm moth, dust, yam powder); If asthma patients know what they are allergic to, they should try to avoid it. Secondly, it should be treated in summer: from early summer to beginning of autumn, that is, "dog days", it is the time when the temperature is the highest and the yang is the strongest all year round. At this time, treatment can enrich the yang of patients and enhance their disease resistance.
Prevention and treatment of chronic pharyngitis
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. Pharyngitis will become chronic pharyngitis if it is not thoroughly treated 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 pain and dark red throat, which are mostly caused by yin deficiency and excessive fire. It is advisable to nourish yin, clear heat and relieve sore throat. Drugs can be used for prevention and treatment, such as taking 3 grams of Ophiopogon japonicus, 65438+ 0.5 grams of licorice, 3 grams of honeysuckle, 3 grams of dark plum and 3 grams of olive to boil blisters. Always eat mung bean drinks or Sydney pulp in your diet.
Prevention of cardiovascular diseases
Autumn is the season of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. According to relevant data, the incidence of cerebral thrombosis and cerebral hemorrhage in late autumn and early winter is much higher than that in other seasons. With the cold weather, the blood vessels of skin and subcutaneous tissue contract, and the resistance of peripheral blood vessels increases, which leads to the increase of blood pressure. Cold can also cause coronary artery spasm, directly affect the blood supply to the heart, and induce angina pectoris or myocardial infarction. Therefore, patients with cardiovascular diseases should insist on taking medicine, do physical exercise as much as possible, actively prevent and treat colds, and avoid inducing and aggravating cardiovascular diseases.
depress
Autumn leaves, windy and rainy, often make people feel touched by the scenery, especially the elderly are prone to feel depressed and induce negative emotions. In severe cases, they are depressed all day and talk little, so they are prone to depression. To prevent depression, we should pay attention to psychological adjustment, maintain a positive and optimistic mood, do what we like, exercise diligently and devote ourselves to nature. Cool autumn is a good time to travel.
stroke
Low temperature in late autumn can reduce the elasticity of blood vessels on the body surface, increase the peripheral resistance, excite sympathetic nerves and increase the secretion of adrenocortical hormone, thus causing arteriole contraction and blood pressure increase, which will lead to cerebral vascular rupture. Cold will also increase the concentration of fibrin in the blood, causing blood to be sticky and leading to thrombosis. Therefore, we should pay attention to the treatment of primary diseases such as hypertension, diabetes and coronary heart disease, and pay attention to premonitory symptoms. If you find sudden dizziness, severe headache, blurred vision, numbness of limbs, etc., you should be sent to the hospital in time to prevent accidents.
