As winter begins in various places, respiratory diseases have entered a season of high incidence, and a variety of respiratory diseases are intertwined and superimposed. A few days ago, the National Health Commission held a press conference to introduce the prevention and control of respiratory diseases in winter. Mi Feng, spokesperson of the National Health Commission and deputy director of the Publicity Department, said that we must adhere to the same prevention and treatment of multiple diseases, pay close attention to the epidemic situation of Mycoplasma pneumoniae, influenza, dengue fever, norovirus infections, etc., strengthen monitoring and early warning, and understand virus activities Changes in intensity, virus mutation, etc. It is necessary to strengthen infectious disease surveillance and health management in key areas and places such as rural areas, schools, and elderly care and childcare institutions.

Is there a case of superinfection of multiple respiratory diseases? Tong Zhaohui, director of the Beijing Institute of Respiratory Diseases, explained that clinically, it is possible for two or more pathogens to be detected, but this situation is very rare, and it is not necessarily related to the severity of the disease, although some viruses have no special effects. Drug treatment is available, but respiratory virus infections are somewhat self-limiting. However, it is recommended to seek immediate medical attention for the elderly, children under 5 years old and special groups with low immunity.

What measures can be taken in daily life to prevent the occurrence of infectious diseases? According to experts, the most effective and economical way to prevent infectious diseases is vaccination. Influenza vaccination can effectively reduce the risk of infection, disease and severe illness. At present, there is no vaccine that can specifically prevent Mycoplasma pneumoniae infection. The more important thing to prevent Mycoplasma pneumoniae infection is non-drug prevention. The public should maintain a healthy lifestyle, develop good personal hygiene habits, and keep the environment at home and workplace clean. High-risk groups such as the elderly, children, pregnant women, and patients with chronic diseases should try to avoid going to crowded public places as much as possible.

Liu Qingquan, director of the Beijing Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine, said that from the perspective of treating diseases with traditional Chinese medicine, you should mainly eat warm and nutritious foods in winter. Foods that are too spicy or too sweet can easily damage the spleen and stomach and cause the body to accumulate heat. Or damp heat, accumulated heat and damp heat can easily lead to exogenous infection, leading to respiratory tract infection. You also need to exercise appropriately, just sweat a little, and avoid sweating profusely, which will damage people’s righteousness. (Reporter Yang Yanfan)
