What high-risk diseases should we be wary of in spring?

As the saying goes, "In spring, a child's face changes three times a day". Although the temperature rises step by step, the temperature in spring is changeable, alternating hot and cold, and the human body is prone to a relative decline in immunity. Especially before and after Tomb-Sweeping Day, the temperature changed greatly, and during this period, the human body was vulnerable to wind and evil, which led to many diseases that were prone to high incidence, recurrence and recurrence in spring. The more this time, the more it is necessary to do a good job in personal health protection and avoid being recruited.

Let's see what diseases are high in spring.

1, flu

Influenza is a common respiratory infectious disease, the main symptoms are fever, headache, runny nose, sore throat, dry cough, muscle and joint pain all over the body. Some are severe pneumonia or gastrointestinal influenza.

The temperature changes greatly in spring, and respiratory infection diseases such as cough, cold, bronchial asthma, tracheitis and pneumonia appear one after another. The elderly and children with poor resistance have become the high-risk groups of such diseases.

2, spring allergies

The climate in spring is dry and the dust content in the air is high. Once pollen, catkin, dust and other allergic substances diffuse into the air, people with allergic constitution are prone to allergic diseases. Such as allergic dermatitis, conjunctivitis, asthma and rhinitis. The most common is allergic rhinitis, the main symptom is persistent runny nose, accompanied by sneezing and chest tightness.

3, hand, foot and mouth disease

Every spring, the hand, foot and mouth disease that parents talk about begins to spread again. Hand-foot-mouth disease (HFMD) is an acute infectious disease common in children under 5 years old, mainly caused by enterovirus. Common symptoms are anorexia, oral pain, low fever, hand, foot and mouth herpes or ulcer. Individual critically ill children can easily lead to death if their condition develops rapidly. So parents should pay more attention to their children's physical condition. When the child has symptoms, be sure to seek medical attention in time!

4. Hypertension

After beginning of spring, the cold is still heavy in the morning and evening, and the warm and cold weather is easy to stimulate people's heat balance system. Sympathetic nerve is stimulated by cold, which makes people's blood vessels contract, blood pressure rise and blood viscosity increase, which is easy to cause cardiovascular diseases.

Some patients with cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases and the elderly are difficult to adapt to the repeated rhythm of sudden rise and fall of body temperature due to arteriosclerosis and deterioration of viscera function. Some people may feel a little uncomfortable, and some people may have unexpected accidents.

5.measles

With the warm weather in spring, various parasites, bacteria, microorganisms and plants began to grow, pollen increased, and pathogens and allergens spread around with the air and various media. Measles virus belongs to paramyxovirus and is spread by droplets of respiratory secretions. The main symptoms are fever, fear of light, tears, runny nose, conjunctival congestion, oral mucosal spots and papules all over the body.

6. Mumps

Mumps is an acute respiratory infection caused by mumps virus. The most common age is 5 ~ 15 years old, which is prevalent in all seasons, but it is more common in winter and spring. The main manifestations are general malaise, fever, pain under the ear or mandibular angle, swelling centered on the earlobe, and pain when chewing with the mouth open.

How to prevent diseases in spring?

Wash hands frequently, change clothes frequently, wash bedding frequently, and pay attention to personal hygiene. Personal belongings should not be mixed with others.

Reasonable and balanced nutrition is very important to enhance the body's disease resistance. We can consciously increase fish, shrimp and bean products rich in calcium, pay attention to the intake of vegetables and fruits, properly mix coarse grains and miscellaneous grains, and avoid high-sugar, high-fat and fried foods.

Away from the source of infection, spring is the high incidence period of acute respiratory infectious diseases. The most important thing for prevention is to stay away from the source of infection, avoid contact with patients with infectious diseases and avoid going to crowded places.

Vaccination is the most effective and economical preventive measure, and some infectious diseases such as rubella, mumps and measles have vaccines. You can vaccinate in advance to enhance your body's resistance to diseases.

Follow the traditional law of "covering spring and freezing autumn", especially pay attention to keeping feet warm, and increase or decrease clothes according to weather changes and physical condition.

Appropriate increase in exercise, because exercise can promote the body's blood circulation, enhance the heart and lung function, thereby enhancing the body's disease resistance.
