People’s Daily Online, Beijing, October 8 (Chen Ziyuan) Today, the National Health and Wellness Commission held a press conference to introduce the "seasonal solar terms and health" and answer media questions.

At the meeting, Chang Zhaorui, a researcher at the China Center for Disease Control and Prevention, said that discomfort symptoms such as cold, cough, vomiting and diarrhea after the "Eleventh" holiday may be caused by factors such as weather changes, crowd gathering, eating problems, and disrupted life schedule. Chang Zhaorui suggested that for the above symptoms, first, pay attention to rest, ensure adequate sleep and help the body recover. The second is to drink plenty of water and eat lightly. The third is symptomatic treatment to relieve symptoms. The fourth is to monitor the symptoms. If the symptoms get worse or last for a long time, it is recommended to seek medical advice in time. If you are diagnosed with respiratory or intestinal infectious diseases such as influenza and norovirus, you should try to avoid going to crowded places to reduce cross-infection.

Chang Zhaorui pointed out that young children and the elderly are the key groups in the prevention and control of respiratory infectious diseases. On the basis of maintaining good personal hygiene and healthy lifestyle, the following measures should be strengthened: First, for respiratory infectious diseases that can be prevented by vaccines, timely vaccination should be carried out according to immunization procedures. Second, in the season of high incidence of respiratory infectious diseases, it is recommended that the elderly and young children try to avoid going to places with closed environment and crowded people. If they really need to go, they should wear masks scientifically to reduce the risk of infection. The third is to strengthen the daily monitoring of the elderly and young children. If there are symptoms such as fever and cough, you should seek medical treatment in time according to the situation and use drugs scientifically and safely according to the doctor’s advice. During the medical treatment, patients, including accompanying personnel, should be well protected to avoid cross-infection. In addition, if there are patients with respiratory infectious diseases among family members, try to avoid close contact with other family members, especially the elderly and children.
