What are the most common diseases in spring

Spring is warm and dry, and all things grow. At the same time, various viruses and bacteria are growing rapidly at a speed invisible to the human eye. Therefore, spring is also a season when it is very easy to get sick. Let’s take a look at the most common diseases in spring.

1. Asthma

Susceptible groups: patients with allergies and children.

Spring is the peak season for asthma. Asthma is a chronic bronchial disease in which the windpipes become inflamed and swollen, narrowing the breathing passages and causing breathing difficulties. But asthma attacks can be prevented and controlled.

First, reduce dust mites in the house. A humid environment is conducive to the reproduction of dust mites, so pay attention to ventilation in the bathroom and kitchen. More importantly, reduce the number of dust mites on the bed. To this end, you should regularly iron and wash sheets, pillowcases, blankets, etc., or expose them to the sun. Secondly, reduce the inhalation of pollen and smoke. In the spring when flowers are blooming, it is best not to go out, especially during the day and in the afternoon. If you go out, you should wear a mask. Not only should you not smoke in the room, you should also advise family members and guests not to smoke. Third, get a flu shot. Colds or respiratory infections can trigger asthma, especially in children. Respiratory viral infections can easily trigger asthma relapses, so asthma patients should get a flu shot every year before an attack. Fourth, keep your body warm and avoid sudden exposure to cold air. Do not wear down products or clothes or quilts made of silk.

2. Cold

Susceptible groups: the elderly, children, and people with weakened immunity.

Colds, including the common cold and influenza, are the most common respiratory infectious diseases in spring. It is generally believed that colds are caused by factors such as climate change, cold body, excessive fatigue, decreased body resistance, or transmission through the respiratory tract. In addition, there are other ways to cause colds. Some colds are caused by "eating", such as eating too much high-fat food, meat, dairy products, alcohol, etc., which can reduce the body's immune cells' antiviral ability and cause colds; excessive intake of high-salt food can lead to reduced saliva secretion, oral mucosal edema, congestion, and increased viruses, causing upper respiratory tract infections; eating too much high-sugar food can consume water and nutrients in the body, causing dry mouth and tongue, reducing immunity, and then inducing colds.

To prevent colds, you should wash your hands frequently, eat a light diet, avoid overwork, and do some cold-resistant exercises, such as washing your face with cold water in the morning and evening, and doing more outdoor activities. This can enhance the body's resistance and is also beneficial for preventing and treating colds.

3. Getting angry

People at risk: white-collar workers and those with irregular lifestyles.

Although the climate in spring is suitable, there is more wind and less rain, and the water in the human body is easily lost through sweating and breathing. Coupled with the erratic climate and temperature, it is difficult to maintain the balance and stability of the human body's metabolism, leading to body dysfunction and symptoms of heat such as dry and sore throat, chapped lips, and dry stools.

When you have a sore throat, drink more water and eat more vegetables and fruits. To prevent getting angry, first of all, you should have a regular life, pay attention to the combination of work and rest, and get adequate rest; eat more vegetables and fruits, and avoid spicy food; drink more water, it is best to ensure that you drink 1500ML of boiled water every day; if necessary, you can take medicine under the guidance of a doctor.

4. Depression and insomnia

People at risk: white-collar workers and those who are under too much pressure in life.

Depression and insomnia need to be adjusted in time. In addition to making people sleepy, spring can also cause insomnia. Spring is a high-incidence period for various diseases. Due to the low air pressure, it is easy to cause hormone disorders in the human brain. In addition, the changeable weather often increases people's mood swings. Therefore, it is normal for people to have mood swings, but they must know how to regulate themselves. When you find yourself feeling low, you should try to divert your negative emotions. When you are depressed, you may want to listen to music or participate in sports activities. On weekends, you can go for a walk in the suburbs and breathe fresh air in sunny weather.

5. Hepatitis A

Populations at risk: students and people who do not pay attention to food hygiene.

Every spring, there is a peak incidence of hepatitis A. It only takes about 30 days from infection to onset of hepatitis A. According to statistics, more than 65% of hepatitis A patients have an acute onset, and most of them have fever, obvious gastrointestinal symptoms (loss of appetite, aversion to greasy food, nausea and vomiting, abdominal pain or bloating), dark urine, yellow sclera and skin, enlarged liver, and many cases of jaundice. However, hepatitis A has few complications, is not easy to become chronic, has a low mortality rate, and is highly contagious.

From the above we know a lot about the high incidence rates in spring. We must not neglect maintaining our health just because the temperatures suddenly warm up in spring. Be sure to keep exercising and maintain good living habits. I hope this helps you all.
