As we all know, spring is a season with many diseases and infectious diseases. Now spring is here again. Faced with many diseases and viral infections, which viruses are easily infected and must be protected? What should we pay attention to in our daily lives? If we are accidentally infected with certain viruses, what effective methods do we have? Let's discuss some tips on disease prevention in spring.

As the temperature rises in late spring, various pathogenic microorganisms are prone to breed and multiply. In order to reduce pathogenic factors, great efforts should be made to improve the living and working environment. Clean indoors and outdoors regularly to keep the environment clean and tidy. You can also green, beautify, and purify the indoor and outdoor environment and adjust the microclimate by growing flowers and plants. Keep doors and windows open frequently to allow air convection and keep the indoor air fresh and with sufficient light. Respiratory diseases are prevalent in winter and spring, and hospitals are overcrowded with patients. Here are some suggestions on how to prevent respiratory diseases:

First: Strengthen personal protection. Pay attention to changes in temperature and add or remove clothes appropriately. The elderly and frail people, or those with systemic diseases such as chronic bronchitis, asthma, or diabetes, should avoid going to public places where crowds gather, get vaccinated against influenza, and wear masks when going out in cold or foggy weather.

Second, pay attention to ventilation and keep the indoor air fresh. Offices, homes, and public places should be ventilated at all times, especially when patients with colds are found in schools or hospitals, air circulation should be ensured to prevent large-scale spread.

Third, quit smoking. Not only should we quit smoking in public places, but we should also quit smoking at home, in the office, and in school. Because smoking damages the individual's respiratory tract and makes people more susceptible to influenza, passive smokers are more vulnerable and the concentration of smoke they inhale is higher than that of smokers. Especially in today's global and domestic avian influenza outbreak stage, we should quit smoking to prevent respiratory transmission.

Fourth, eat a balanced diet, drink plenty of water, eat more fruits and vegetables, and keep bowel movements smooth. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that internal heat can easily lead to colds and influenza.

Many diseases are caused by our usual inattention, unhygienic conditions, and carelessness. Therefore, in the face of the frequent occurrence of diseases in spring, we still need to know some tips on preventing diseases in spring. We should pay more attention to details in our daily lives, maintain good living habits, drink plenty of water, exercise more, try not to go to places with large crowds, wash hands and take a bath frequently, pay attention to the hygiene of things around us, get enough sleep, and seek medical attention as soon as possible if we feel unwell. These are habits that should be maintained.
