Dry syndrome is an autoimmune disease, mainly excretion and excrete, which is exacerbated by the drying of the autumn and winter seasons. Therefore, protection during autumn and winter festivals is essential for people with drying syndrome.
First, it is critical to maintain appropriate indoor humidity. Air moisture is low during the autumn and winter holidays, and the use of humidifiers can effectively increase indoor humidity. Patients can place humidifiers in regular activities such as bedrooms, living rooms and so on, keeping indoor humidity between 40 and 60 per cent. This humidity range can alleviate, to some extent, the drying symptoms of a patient ‘ s mouth and eyes. Attention, however, needs to be paid to the regular cleaning of humidifiers in order to avoid the growth of bacteria and fungus, as these microorganisms can cause respiratory infections, among other things, which further exacerbate the discomfort of patients.
For oral care, it has to be strengthened during the dry autumn and winter holidays. Because of the decrease in saliva, patients are vulnerable to problems such as dry mouths and teeth. The patient should drink more water and drink a few times to keep his mouth wet. A choice can be made to drink some drinks with larynx, such as honey, which not only relieves mouth drying but also has some anti-inflammation effect. In addition, attention to oral hygiene, the use of fluorine toothpaste to brush teeth and the use of non-alcoholic mouthwashing at least twice a day would help to prevent dental decay and oral infections. For example, non-alcoholic saline saliva cleans mouths without stimulating mucous membranes.
The protection of the eyes cannot be ignored during the autumn and winter holidays. Drying syndrome patients often have eye-dry symptoms, and the dry climate in autumn and winter can make the eyes even more uncomfortable. Patients should endeavour to avoid the use of electronic devices for long periods of time, as long-time observation of the screen accelerates the evaporation of eye moisture. If it takes a long time to use the eyes, it is suggested that a break be taken at some time to see the distance or to keep the eyes closed. Artificial tear is an important tool for the relief of the dry eye, and the patient can choose the appropriate artificial tear, on the advice of the doctor, and is used in the right way three to four times a day. At the same time, in the outdoors, windshields are put on as much as possible to prevent direct eye irritation from the autumn wind and to reduce loss of water from the surface of the eye.
Skin care is also an important aspect of protection in autumn and winter. A dry climate makes the skin of patients dryer and itch. Patients should reduce the frequency of bathing and avoid using overheated water to bathe, as hot water washes the oil from the skin surface and makes the skin dryer. It is recommended to use a mild, fertilized bath, and to apply skin cream to the body immediately after bathing and to lock the skin water. For example, skin cream, which contains components such as glycerine, urea, which can well supplement the skin and form protective membranes. For exposed areas such as the hand and face, greater care is taken to protect against the use of hand cream and face cream and gloves and scarfs when going out.
In terms of diet, the autumn and winter festivals allow for an adequate increase in the number of fertilized foods. Lily, Silver Ear, Pear. The lily has the effect of pulmonary coughing and pacifying; the silver ear is geled with protein, which can sour the lungs; and the pear can be dry, and these foods help to alleviate the symptoms of people with drying syndrome. At the same time, patients are less likely to eat spicy, greasy and irritating food, which exacerbates their dry condition.
People with drying syndrome need to be protected from all aspects of life during the autumn and winter holidays. By maintaining indoor humidity, enhancing oral and eye care, focusing on skin maintenance and a reasonable diet, it is possible to reduce the symptoms of drying to some extent and to make the autumn and winter holidays more comfortable. At the same time, the patient should undergo regular visits and adapt protection and treatment programmes in a timely manner in the light of changing conditions.
