Since the middle of January, temperatures across the country have generally declined. There are snow-covered phenomena in 76 counties and cities in Guizhou, and the area is large and unprecedented. The rains and snows in Wuhan, Hubei, have dropped the largest and longest snow in more than 10 years. According to a message issued by the Central Meteorological Observatory on January 15, the rain and snow weather will continue for some time in the north and south of China this month. The rain and snow in the southern region will increase again, and the north may also have a large range of snowfall. The staff of the Beijing Meteorological Observatory also said that there will be no major rebound in temperature in a short period of time.
Under the circumstance that temperatures are generally falling across the country, what about the hospital? In the interview, Guo Shidong, deputy director of the emergency department of the China-Japan Friendship Hospital, told reporters that the number of patients visiting the hospital has increased by 1/3 compared with the previous period due to the drop in temperature. Most of them are respiratory diseases (cold, fever, cough) and cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.
The temperature is lowered, some pathogens active in the winter are very easy to invade the human body, especially the respiratory tract is caused by obvious stimulation, cold air will also affect the contraction function of the human heart and brain blood vessels. “Guo Shidong said that after treatment, you must treat it promptly. If you delay or feel that you can “snap”, it is likely to be unhealed for a long time, and even cause more serious diseases such as pneumonia. Therefore, we should try our best to reduce the time of outdoor sports; often drink boiled water to play the role of detoxification and diuresis in time, or cook ginger soup often; young people with good constitution can wash their faces with cold water.
