Yesterday, the reporter learned from the Xiamen Medical Emergency Center that the data of the 120 Spring Festival holiday showed that respiratory diseases accounted for the fourth largest proportion of the city's rescue. Combined with the respiratory outpatient data of public hospitals such as Xiamen Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine and the Second Affiliated Hospital of Xiamen Medical College, respiratory diseases are indeed frequent. However, Xiamen doctors also confirmed that the patients of the recent Internet hotspot - "blade voice" are not particularly prominent, and the patient group is similar to that of previous years. Experts remind the public that the school year is about to start, and respiratory diseases may usher in a new wave of peaks.
The number of "recruits" has increased significantly.
Hospitals have sufficient medicines.
Before the holiday, the Xiamen Municipal Center for Disease Control and Prevention issued a disease forecast, saying that the infectious diseases that need special attention in February are new coronavirus infection, epidemic ** and norovirus infectious diarrhea. Recently, a symptom related to respiratory diseases - sore throat (blade throat) has been on the hot search. Some patients on social platforms said that the flu was "hit", which was different from the previous cold symptoms, and this time it was mainly manifested as sore throat and swollen throat, just like the throat "swallowing a blade".
In this regard, the reporter interviewed Xiamen Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine, the Second Affiliated Hospital of Xiamen Medical College, and Haicang Hospital Affiliated to Xiamen Medical College. Judging from the clinical data of the hospital, from the third day of the first month to the eighth day of the first month of the Spring Festival, the respiratory medicine and pediatric departments of Xiamen Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine alone have an average of more than 600 respiratory disease patients per day, and the pediatrics alone have nearly 400 people a day at most. The situation is similar in the Second Affiliated Hospital of Xiamen Medical College and Haicang Hospital Affiliated to Xiamen Medical College. The reporter also learned from a number of hospitals that at present, there are sufficient drugs for respiratory diseases, and offline pharmacies are also convenient to buy, and there is no shortage for the time being.
The exact cause is up to the doctor.
It is not advisable to self-medicate antibiotics.
Ye Gangfu, chief physician of the Department of Respiratory Medicine of Xiamen Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine, analyzed that before and after the Spring Festival is the alternate season of winter and spring, and a variety of respiratory diseases are alternately prevalent or co-epidemic, which is a normal state before and after the Spring Festival holiday. Moreover, the weather of this year's Spring Festival is complex, the pre-holiday "quick-freezing" mode, the sunny and warm mode during the long holiday, coupled with the large temperature difference between morning and evening in early spring, combined with the large-scale flow of people during the Spring Festival, visiting relatives and friends, and the increase in dinner and gathering activities, and other factors, respiratory diseases during the Spring Festival in previous years are also in a high state. However, there are various causes of this type of disease, such as sore throat and fever, which are not necessarily caused by the new crown or influenza, and the possibility of other viral infections cannot be ruled out. Common viruses are not always detectable. The specific cause of the "blade voice" needs to be handed over to a professional doctor for a comprehensive judgment, and it is not advisable to make a judgment on your own.
He also stressed that you should not give yourself or your child cold medicine or antibiotics containing antipyretics, antibiotics are designed to kill bacteria, and if it is determined to be a viral infection, antibiotics may not be effective.
Remind. Relieves the "blade throat".
These options can be used.
Ye Gangfu emphasized that if you don't rest well and eat spicy and greasy food, you are also prone to the symptoms of sore throat, which is called "fire" in traditional Chinese medicine. If you have poor immunity, you are more susceptible to viruses and bacteria. Therefore, during the epidemic of respiratory diseases, it is recommended to wear a mask, wash hands frequently, and do not touch your mouth and nose with your hands casually while preventing viral infections. After the appearance of "blade throat", in addition to taking medicine, you can also try to rinse your mouth with salt water, moisten your throat with steam, and humidify the room, which also has a certain relieving effect.
120 emergency physicians reminded that the resistance to cold viruses is reduced, which is closely related to the large temperature changes in early spring, irregular work and rest during the Spring Festival, and decreased immunity. In this regard, improving immunity is an effective way to fight respiratory diseases. It is recommended to get enough sleep, wash hands frequently, ventilate frequently, drink plenty of water, eat more vegetables and fruits, and ensure that vitamin C intake can help prevent colds. If you go to crowded places, or take buses or subways, you can wear a mask to prevent cross-infection.
