The onset of winter is particularly important for the school population, given the high level of school environment and the ease of transmission of infectious diseases. Knowledge can help students stay healthy and reduce the impact of disease on learning and life.
Infective diseases common in winter for students
In the winter, the most common infectious disease experienced by students is respiratory infections. Most common flu is caused by nose viruses, coronal viruses etc. Symptoms include nose plugs, aldicarb, sneezes, throat aches etc. Influenza is triggered by influenza viruses, which are more violent, often accompanied by high heat, headaches, muscular acidity, inactivity, etc., and highly contagious. Pneumonia spa infections are also more common among students and can cause long coughs, seriously affecting learning and rest. In a relatively closed and crowded environment of schools, these diseases can easily spread among students.
Immunisation is the key.
A reasonable diet is the basis for increased immunity. During the winter, students are guaranteed adequate nutrition and more protein-rich food, such as milk, eggs, skinny meat, beans, etc., which is an important “building material” for the body’s immune system. At the same time, vegetables and fruits are not scarce and are rich in vitamins and minerals. Vitamin C, for example, enhances the activity of white cells and helps the body to protect itself from bacteria, and citrus fruits, walnuts, spinach, and so on are good sources of vitamin C.
An adequate level of movement is also essential to increase the immunity of students. During breaks, not always sitting, you should go outside the classroom, stretching out, kicking, jumping, etc. Physical education is a good opportunity for exercise, and sports such as running and playing can promote blood circulation, enhance CPR function and increase physical resistance.
Adequate sleep is also crucial. Students are required to develop good sleep habits and to ensure sufficient sleep time per day. Students of different age groups require different sleep times, but in general primary school students must sleep for about 10 hours a day and secondary school students should also be guaranteed 8 – 9 hours. During sleep, the body is self-rehabilitated and adjusted to facilitate the proper functioning of the immune system.
Daily protective measures
In schools and at home, the environment is kept clean. Classrooms are often ventilated by open windows, fresh air is allowed in and indoor disease concentrations are reduced. At least 2 – 3 ventilations per day for about 30 minutes each. The rooms in the home should also be well ventilated, while cleaning and cleaning should be carried out on a regular basis to clean up dust and garbage.
Personal hygiene practices must be developed. Handwashing is an important method of preventing infection, and students are required to wash their hands carefully with soap and running water, after taking time off before meals and after having access to public goods, for a period of not less than 20 seconds. Coughs and sneezes are covered with paper towels or elbows in order to avoid foaming the fungus.
During the high-prevalence influenza season, it was possible to avoid frequent and poorly ventilated sites, such as malls, cinemas, etc. If you go to these places, you better wear a mask. In schools, if a fellow student suffers from an infectious disease, care is taken to keep distance and avoid contact. Importance of vaccination
Vaccination is an effective means of preventing winter infections among students. Influenza vaccine can significantly reduce the risk of influenza, and students are advised to be vaccinated before the flu season. For students with weaker health, appropriate vaccines, such as pneumonia vaccines, can also be considered on the advice of doctors to increase resistance to specific pathogens.
Timely detection and treatment of infection symptoms
Parents and teachers should be informed in a timely manner of the symptoms of fever, coughing, ingesting and inactivity. For low heat, physical cooling, e.g., moisture of head, armpit, groin, etc., can be used first. If the body temperature exceeds 38.5 °C, the decipher shall be used under the supervision of a doctor. If symptoms persist or are aggravated, such as high fever, severe coughing and breathing difficulties, timely medical treatment should be provided.
In short, during the winter, students are expected to prevent infectious diseases by increasing their own immunity, providing daily protection, vaccinations, etc., and to treat the symptoms in a timely manner. Only in this way will it be possible to remain healthy and learn happily in cold winters.
