Upper respiratory infections, a synonym, refer to acute inflammation of the nasal, larynx or larynx, which is not a specific disease, but rather a group of diseases, including common flu, viral oscillitis, larynitis, herpesal osteoporosis, coronary fever, bacterial osteoporosis, tonsilitis, etc. Most of these diseases are self-restrictive, but their incidence is higher, especially in the case of seasonal alternation and weather variability. In order to help the community to better understand and respond to upper respiratory infections, the following are practical scientific knowledge.
I. Symptoms of upper respiratory infections
Symptoms of upper respiratory infections typically include cough, fever, slugs, sneezes, tears and larvae. When the condition is serious, the patient may also suffer from high fever (which may be about 38 degrees), coldness, headaches, general weakness, absortment, sleep disorders, and may cause frequent coughing.
II. Channels of transmission of upper respiratory infections
Upper respiratory infections are spread mainly through foam, such as those released during sneezing or coughing, and through exposure, such as exposure to contaminated objects before touching the mouth, eyes, nose, etc. Therefore, the development of good hygiene practices is essential for the prevention of upper respiratory infections.
III. Preventive measures
Attention to personal hygiene: hand-washing, use of soap or hand-washing fluids, and hand-washing with liquid water. In particular, hands should be washed immediately after hand contact with respiratory secretions (e.g. sneezes), before meals and after going home. It spits and doesn’t touch mouths, eyes and noses without a clean hand.
(c) Mask: Mask should be worn in public places, in medical institutions, during consultations or consultations, escorts and visits, when exposed to patients with respiratory symptoms and when travelling to overcrowded and air-contaminated sites.
Maintenance of indoor cleaning and ventilation: Households should clean up the indoor environment and ventilate 2-3 times a day for no less than 30 minutes each, depending on weather conditions. In the case of patients with respiratory infectious diseases, ventilation should be enhanced and surfaces of potentially contaminated environmental objects disinfected.
(c) Reducing crowd-intensive activity: During the high-prevalence season, activities should be minimized to avoid exposure to respiratory infections. Respiratory symptoms should be reduced when going out and masked when going out.
Enhanced resistance: Take care to keep warm and to increase and reduce clothing in a timely manner depending on temperature. (c) To ensure a healthy diet and a reasonable diet that ensures nutritional balance. It’s a regular thing. It’s a good sleep. Motivated movement and increased self-resistance.
Active vaccinations: Inoculations such as influenza can effectively prevent respiratory infections such as influenza and build health barriers ahead of time for themselves and their families.
Treatment
When symptoms of upper respiratory infections occur, patients should be more careful to rest, minimize activity, be isolated from the respiratory tract and keep indoor air fresh. During the period of illness, air irritation to the respiratory mucous membrane should also be reduced, oral cleanness maintained, and timely removal of the snort and throat components of the secretions removed.
In case of symptoms such as fever, bed rest, deheating treatment and close observation of changes in the condition. If the situation is serious, it is recommended that medical treatment be provided in a timely manner and that medication be used on the advice of the doctor.
Summary
Upper respiratory infections are a common respiratory disease, but we can significantly reduce their incidence by taking a range of effective preventive measures, such as attention to hygiene, the wearing of masks, the maintenance of indoor cleaning and ventilation, the reduction of crowd-intensive site activities, increased resistance and active vaccination. At the same time, timely access to and treatment on medical advice in the event of illness are important measures to protect their health.
It is hoped that this knowledge will help the community to better understand and respond to upper respiratory infections and to create a healthier and harmonious living space.
