Ask questions and wipe your nose.

If you sneeze one after another in an air-conditioned room, it is likely that you have allergic rhinitis; On a cloudy day or in an air-conditioned room, the air circulation is not enough, and a lot of dirty things will be inhaled, so how should the nasal cavity be cleaned?

Western medicine: cleaning nasal cavity can enhance mucosal disease resistance

According to Dr. Yang Na from the Third Hospital of Beijing Armed Police, the nasal cavity is the channel and portal for the lungs to breathe and exchange gas, and it is also the place where all kinds of viruses and bacteria are most likely to grow, multiply, gather and enter the lungs and respiratory tract.

After the virus enters the nasal cavity, it stimulates the nasal mucosa, weakens the ciliary movement and defense function of the nasal mucosa epithelium, and easily damages the nasal mucosa. When human immunity is reduced, viruses will take advantage of it and cause diseases.

Therefore, cleaning the nasal cavity can protect the nasal mucosa, enhance the disease resistance of the nasal mucosa, prevent various nasal inflammation and nasal diseases, prevent colds caused by various viruses and bacteria, and prevent viruses and bacteria from entering the lungs and respiratory tract.

On the other hand, people sometimes find that in hot summer, sneezing together and clearing tears together will make people feel restless. Dr. Yang pointed out that this may be due to the high allergen content at home, which leads to people suffering from allergic rhinitis. So it is very important to build a family with relatively few allergens.

Chinese medicine:

Cleaning the nasal cavity is the most direct way to prevent diseases.

Dr. Wang Guowei from Beijing Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine said that when people go out for activities every day, they will inevitably inhale a lot of dust and small particles of pathogens. In summer, because people often stay in air-conditioned rooms with no ventilation, it is easier to breathe air with bacteria. It is easy to cause respiratory diseases such as rhinitis, asthma and pneumonia.

Cleaning the nasal cavity can enhance the disease resistance of nasal mucosa and prevent nasal diseases and colds caused by various viruses and bacteria, with the most direct and effective effect.

Chinese and western medicine advice:

1. Daily use cotton swab dipped in 0.9% saline to clean the nasal cavity.

2. You can also use edible salt to make light salt water or clean water to wash your nose.

3. Regular nasal massage can not only clean the nasal cavity and remove dirt, but also improve the blood circulation of the nose by stimulating the nasal mucosa, thus enhancing the adaptability of the nose and preventing diseases such as rhinitis and colds.

4. Try to take out the foreign body in the nasal cavity without hands. Because there are many bacteria on your hands, direct use of your hands may also cause mucosal damage, so try not to clean your nasal cavity directly with your hands.

Don't stay in the air-conditioned room for too long in summer. Generally, air-conditioned rooms should be ventilated once every day 1~2 hours, and should not be used all night at night.

Asking questions about expired drugs

Preparing some commonly used drugs has become the habit of many families, and many families have prepared small family medicine boxes for emergencies. But what followed was the problem of how to deal with expired drugs. Experts pointed out that throwing expired drugs casually may bury hidden dangers of environmental pollution.

Eating expired drugs indiscriminately harms oneself, and throwing them around harms others.

Experts from the Food and Drug Administration pointed out that the preservation conditions of drugs are stricter than those of food. Taking drugs after expiration will directly endanger human health and also cause chemical pollution to the environment.

Wang Guowei, a doctor at Beijing Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine, said that expired drugs are likely to increase the side effects of drugs, but their serious efficacy will be greatly reduced. Once the drug expires, it not only means failure, but some may be moldy. If taken in large doses, it will not only fail to achieve the expected curative effect, but also hide many hidden dangers.

Environmental experts point out that if drug waste is discarded at will, it will endanger human health. Those discarded drugs that are directly exposed to the natural environment, especially antibiotics, will also make some bacteria resistant and more likely to attack the human body. Especially some drugs with special properties, such as penicillin, will pose a threat to water sources and pollute the environment.

Expert advice:

1. Dispose of expired pills, pills, capsules and other medicines, wrap them in paper, and then throw them into a closed paper tube and discard them.

2. Medicines such as ointment and ointment can be extruded from containers, collected in envelopes, sealed and discarded.

3. Liquid medicines such as potions and oral liquids should be poured into the sewer, not mixed and washed away.

4. For unopened drugs, it is suggested that it is best to destroy their packaging before handling to prevent "drug dealers" from taking advantage of it.

Ask questions and eat watermelon

In summer, watermelon is cheap, not only the juice is sweet and cool, but also has the effects of relieving summer heat, quenching thirst, diuresis and lowering blood pressure. It is an essential summer food for every family. However, the doctor pointed out that people who eat watermelon over ice or deficiency of spleen and stomach should be careful to eat watermelon.

Western medicine: Eating too much watermelon may lead to heart failure.

Dr. Yang Na from Beijing Third Hospital of Armed Police said that watermelon contains many vitamins, such as vitamins A, B, C, protein and many minerals, including iron, calcium, potassium, phosphorus, magnesium and zinc. The contents of glutamic acid, arginine, fructose and malic acid in fruit juice are extremely rich, and the water content is as high as 96.6%. At the same time, watermelon contains a lot of water, sweating a lot in summer, and nutrients are excreted with sweat. Eating watermelon properly can make up for the lost water.

But watermelon is also a high-sugar fruit, so diabetics should not eat more. People with renal insufficiency should not eat more watermelons, because eating a lot of watermelons in a short period of time will increase the water in the body, which will exceed the bearing capacity of the kidneys, leading to a sharp increase in blood volume in the body, which is prone to acute heart failure and death.

Traditional Chinese Medicine: Cold food hurts the spleen and stomach easily.

Although watermelon is good, Chinese medicine experts believe that watermelon is a cold food, which is easy to hurt the spleen and stomach. Therefore, people with chronic enteritis and gastritis had better eat less.

Wang Zhiming, a doctor in the Third Hospital of Beijing Armed Police, said that watermelon is a cold food, so people with weak constitution, menorrhagia and chronic gastritis with indigestion are not suitable to eat too much watermelon. There are also many people who like to eat iced watermelons, which can easily hurt their stomachs.

Chinese and western medicine * * * have suggestions:

1. Diabetic patients and people with spleen and stomach deficiency and cold had better not eat watermelon.

2. Watermelon itself is cool, and it is best to eat it at room temperature; Watermelons taken out of the refrigerator should be stored for 15~30 minutes before eating.

3. Patients with oral ulcer should not eat more watermelons. The main cause of oral ulcer is yin deficiency and internal heat, which is disturbed by deficiency fire. However, if you eat too much watermelon, the water normally needed in the body will be discharged through the diuretic effect of watermelon, which will aggravate the state of yin deficiency. Yin deficiency and internal heat lead to the aggravation of oral ulcer.

People who have a cold and fever in summer often use watermelon to replenish water and reduce fever, but it is best not to eat watermelon in the early stage of cold and cold, especially when there are symptoms such as chills and sweating.

Ask questions and sweat

As the sauna day goes on, many people have the idea of being still and are afraid of sweating more. As we all know, if you don't let your body sweat in summer, it will affect your health.

Traditional Chinese Medicine: Sour and salty tonify sweating loss

Wang Zhiming, a doctor from the Third Hospital of Beijing Armed Police, said that there are about 3 million sweat glands in the human body. The discharge of sweat has the function of regulating body temperature, and also discharges some metabolic wastes.

But many people choose to blow air conditioners for a long time because they are afraid of sweating. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that internal toxins are excreted, pathogenic factors are eliminated, and diseases heal themselves. If people often prevent sweat gland blockage, it is equivalent to losing an important detoxification channel and a natural defense line. Therefore, it is better to follow the seasonal law and sweat when it is time to sweat.

Wang Dafu also pointed out that sweat contains more sodium chloride, so salt and calcium should be added when sweating. In addition, it is necessary to eat sour food properly. Their sour taste can stop sweating, diarrhea and dampness, prevent hyperhidrosis, consume gas and hurt yin, promote fluid production and quench thirst, and strengthen stomach and digestion.

Chinese medicine advice:

1. If your body sweats a lot, you'd better drink some salt water in time and supplement your body with salt, preferably a small amount for many times.

Generally speaking, people will sweat during normal work and exercise, so that the loss of some salt in the body will not have any great impact on people's health. The simplest and most effective way to supplement salt is to drink light salt water or salted fruit juice. A better way to supplement salt is to drink green leafy vegetable soup, which tastes slightly salty.

2. Eat some sour food, such as tomatoes, lemons, strawberries, ebony, grapes, hawthorn and so on.

3. Adding vinegar to dishes can also sterilize and prevent gastrointestinal diseases.

4. Replenish water in time. Due to a lot of sweating, the water in the human body is constantly losing. Drink a small amount of water many times, usually 300 ml to 500 ml each time.

Questioning loss of appetite

In summer, most people attribute their loss of appetite to the hot weather. Experts point out that fatigue or mental stress can lead to loss of appetite.

Western medicine: early detection of loss of appetite.

Rui Liu, a doctor at Beijing Puren Hospital, said that "appetite" is a physiological need to eat. Once this demand decreases or even disappears, it is called loss of appetite. That is, no desire to eat. In summer, people often feel loss of appetite, weakness of limbs and poor spleen and stomach function. This is because of the summer climate, people like to eat cold things, which are more likely to hurt the spleen and stomach.

Dr. Liu said that sometimes emotional stress, overeating, excessive drinking and insufficient exercise are also factors that lead to loss of appetite. Especially when you are nervous and excited, people's anger is extremely strong, and it is easy to lose appetite if you catch up with irregular diet.

In addition, pregnancy and early liver disease can also cause loss of appetite.

Suggestion:

1. Poor appetite in summer is actually a reasonable phenomenon, but if poor appetite obviously affects even the daily routine and spirit, it is best to go to the hospital for a check-up.

2. When the temperature is high in summer, the secretion of digestive enzymes decreases and the digestive function decreases. Therefore, food in summer should be light and refreshing, and food should be made as fancy as possible to attract appetite. Cold salad is a good food in summer. Add more vinegar when seasoning.

Don't eat too much, you will catch a cold. Eat less cold food and cold drinks, especially ice, in summer. Old people and children should pay more attention to the harm of raw and cold food to the spleen and stomach.
