Teacher, I just didn't want to move. ”

Teacher, I'm afraid that the cold weather will worsen when I go out of the classroom. ”

Recently, some school teachers reported that many primary and secondary school students were resistant to recess activities and physical education classes after flu-like illness**, and more than 10 students in some classes did not participate in outdoor activities for a week. In this regard, Peng Jie, director of the Center for Intractable Infectious Diseases of Nanfang Hospital of Southern Medical University, said that encouraging mild patients with mild symptoms after the reduction of influenza-like symptoms to do aerobic exercise appropriately and exercise gradually will help **.

Exercising properly under reasonable protection will not worsen a condition that has already improved. Peng Jie said that most of the aggravation of the condition is due to exposure to new disease triggers or secondary bacterial infections, and it is necessary to keep warm and warm up during exercise, and appropriately increase water intake, which will not aggravate the condition that has improved.

Peng Jie said: "When the flu symptoms have improved, fever and severe cough have disappeared, appropriate aerobic exercise such as jogging, yoga, and badminton can enhance the body's immunity, promote the body's metabolism, and will be helpful for the recovery of the disease." ”

Peng Jie emphasized that there are two points to pay attention to when exercising after contracting respiratory diseases. First of all, patients with mild symptoms can exercise appropriately, and severe patients and hospitalized patients must follow the doctor's instructions. Exercising in the case of severe cough and fever may lead to the body's energy consumption, which is not conducive to the body's fight against germs, and has a greater impact on one's own health. Secondly, in the process of exercise, we should follow the principle of "step by step", start with low-intensity exercise, gradually adapt, and avoid intense competitive exercise in the early stage of symptom improvement.

Winter sports should pay special attention to warm-up activities and keeping warm and cold. Peng Jie reminded that when exercising in low temperature weather, you must first let your body "heat up" and enter the exercise state to avoid falls and frostbite. In addition, it is recommended to dry it in time after sweating and increase drinking water appropriately to avoid catching a cold.

The reporter also learned that the number of patients admitted to the fever clinic of Nanfang Hospital of Southern Medical University has rebounded recently. Peng Jie said that the reason for this situation is related to the recent nationwide cooling, "the temperature is lowering, the human body's immunity is decreasing, and viruses and bacteria are ushering in an active period of transmission."

Peng Jie suggested that the public wear masks and do a good job of hand hygiene when traveling. In daily life, it is necessary to improve the dietary structure, adjust work and rest, exercise scientifically, and improve personal immunity.
