What diseases are easily caused by hot weather in summer?

Recently, there have been persistent high temperature weather in many parts of the country, and the persistent "high fever" has not retreated, making "Love City" constantly staged in various places. Some netizens joked that "there is only a pinch of cumin between people and barbecue." People who are scorched by the scorching sun are miserable, and the continuous high temperature also reduces people's resistance and endurance, so many people are frequently "recruited".

High temperature causes illness 1: heatstroke.

The disorder of central nervous system and circulatory system caused by the disorder of body temperature regulation in high temperature environment is what we call "heatstroke". In addition to exposure to the hot sun, excessive work intensity, long time, lack of sleep and excessive fatigue are also common reasons.

Experts suggest that if someone suffers from heatstroke, they should leave the high temperature environment and quickly move to a cool and ventilated place. Lie down on your back, raise your head and unbutton your buttons. If heatstroke patients are conscious and have no nausea and vomiting, they can drink salty drinks, tea, mung bean soup and so on. To cool down and replenish blood volume. In order to prevent heatstroke, you should try not to be exposed to the hot sun. When you go out, you'd better wear a wide-brimmed hat or an umbrella, and wear clothes that are easy to dissipate heat. Don't wait until you are thirsty to drink water. If you sweat a lot, you'd better drink more light salt water. Working hours in high temperature days should not be too long, and the intensity should not be too large to ensure adequate sleep; Prepare some heatstroke prevention drugs at home and carry them with you.

High temperature causes disease II: cervical spondylosis

In summer, the weather is sultry, sometimes it rains continuously, and the air pressure changes repeatedly, which interferes with the normal operation of the body. If stimulated by cold air again, the neck muscles will contract for a long time, leading to posterior joint disorder. In addition, most office workers have the following commonalities: tight working hours, high pressure, less activity time, poor indoor environment, long-term work at their desks, frequent use of computers and so on. These behaviors and habits are easy to cause cervical spondylosis.

Experts suggest that cervical spondylosis can be prevented. For example, first of all, we should strengthen running, swimming and other whole-body exercises to improve the health of cervical vertebrae, bones and joints. Secondly, do neck rotation every day, let the cervical vertebra move in different directions, and stay in each direction for five or six seconds to enhance the muscle's protective ability to the cervical vertebra. If there are early symptoms of cervical spondylosis such as long-term neck pain, numbness of hands and abnormal walking gait, you should seek the diagnosis and treatment of cervical surgery or spinal surgery in time.

Diseases caused by high temperature 3: cerebrovascular diseases

The sauna weather is depressed, and people sweat a lot in hot days, which will lead to an increase in patients with cerebrovascular diseases such as sudden dizziness, cerebral hemorrhage and cerebral infarction. When the air circulation is not smooth and the air pressure is low, it is easy to have insufficient blood supply to the brain, leading to chest tightness and dizziness. When the temperature reaches 35 degrees Celsius, the water lost due to sweating cannot be replenished in time, and blood viscosity will induce ischemic stroke, cerebral infarction and even sudden death.

Experts suggest that elderly people with basic diseases such as heart disease and hypertension should go to crowded places with poor air circulation in this weather and pay attention to taking medicine according to doctor's advice. Old people should drink more water whether they feel thirsty or not. Drink more cold boiled water instead of drinks. You can drink light salt water when you sweat a lot. It is best to reduce the time of using air conditioner, and it is best to use hand-cranked fan to cool down. Special attention should be paid to the precursors of stroke. Generally speaking, dizziness, headache, hemiplegia, fatigue and frequent yawning are all premonitions before stroke. When these symptoms are obvious, you must not treat them as a common cold or fatigue. You must go to the hospital as soon as possible.

High temperature disease 4: skin disease

Since July, there has been an endless stream of dermatological clinics. According to the outpatient service recently published by a hospital, the skin diseases with high incidence in summer mainly include allergic diseases (eczema and urticaria), fungal infections (tinea manus, tinea pedis and tinea cruris) and solar dermatitis. Allergic dermatitis is the most common, and some people with allergic constitution may cause this disease because of ultraviolet rays, mangoes, pineapples and other fruits.

Skin experts say that dog days are characterized by high temperature, high humidity and strong ultraviolet rays. If you want to prevent allergic dermatitis, you should pay attention to avoid the sun exposure from10am to 3pm. If you need to be exposed to the sun for a long time, try to wear long-sleeved clothes and bring a sun hat or umbrella; Wear sunscreen when you go out, even if you have a sunshade or hat. Do not eat or eat less fruits that may cause allergies, such as mangoes and pineapples. In addition, under this weather condition, the reproductive ability of fungi is enhanced, which increases the number of patients with tinea pedis, tinea manus, tinea cruris and sweat spots, and aggravates the disease. Therefore, it is necessary to increase the frequency of skin cleaning, try to keep dry, and wear loose sweat-absorbing clothes to prevent the increase of sweat and mold growth from causing or aggravating infection. You can also use prickly heat powder and talcum powder to smear on the neck, armpit, elbow socket and other parts. People with severe symptoms can use dry and antifungal drugs.

High temperature causes disease five: hot cold

In the hot summer, some people will have a series of symptoms such as fever, headache, stuffy nose and runny nose, sore throat, yellow cough and dry mouth. This is what we usually call a "cold". Wind-heat evil is the main pathogenic factor, which is often accompanied by summer heat and dampness in summer. Therefore, while suffering from a hot cold, there are also symptoms such as body heat, sweating and fever, head swelling, chest tightness, nausea, loss of appetite, pale and sticky mouth.

Experts remind that prevention is the main way to prevent colds. First of all, we should strengthen physical exercise and enhance our resistance. We should form the habit of regular outdoor activities. Maintain indoor and outdoor environmental hygiene and human hygiene. Windows are often opened indoors to make the air fresh. At the same time, individuals should keep enough sleep and rest time. Change bad living habits and establish good living rules.

Patients with fever below 37.5 degrees should pay attention to rest, keep enough sleep, drink more warm water, and take some traditional Chinese medicines with Huoxiang Zhengqi and heat-clearing and detoxification, which will generally be cured in 2-3 days. Those with fever above 37.5 degrees accompanied by sore throat, cough and thick phlegm need to go to the hospital in time.

Diseases caused by high temperature 6: gastrointestinal diseases

In summer, all kinds of pathogenic microorganisms are easy to breed, and people like to eat cold food, so they are most likely to cause gastrointestinal diseases such as acute gastroenteritis, food poisoning, bacillary dysentery and acute gastritis. At the same time, many people like to drink cold drinks in summer, but cold drinks will make the temperature of the gastrointestinal tract suddenly drop and the capillaries suddenly contract, thus inducing gastroenteritis.

Experts suggest that citizens should pay special attention to food hygiene at high temperature, and do not eat raw or half-cooked shellfish, and then eat them overnight after heating or cooking. In addition, they should take good care of food, eliminate rats, flies and cockroaches, and prevent food from being contaminated by insects. Pay special attention to the following points in summer diet: 1. Eat less raw and cold food, wash it repeatedly before eating, wash it with cold water if necessary, and separate raw and cooked food from processed food; 2. Leftovers should be refrigerated and heated thoroughly before eating; If there is no preservation condition, it is best to abandon it; 3. Don't buy or eat food from unlicensed vendors with poor sanitary conditions, especially cooked meat, because it is difficult to ensure food hygiene; 4.
