[The six most terrible infectious diseases in popular science:]

[Fifth place: flu.] 】

Influenza, abbreviated as influenza, is an acute respiratory illness caused by influenza A, B, and C viruses, respectively. 】

[It is more common in winter and spring.] 】

[The clinical manifestations are mainly systemic poisoning symptoms such as high fever, fatigue, headache, cough, and muscle aches, while the respiratory ~ tract symptoms are mild. 】

[Influenza virus is prone to mutation, highly contagious, generally susceptible to the population, has a high incidence rate, and has caused many outbreaks around the world in history, which is an important public health issue of global concern. 】

And influenza is an underrated infectious disease. 】

[The worst infection occurred 100 years ago.] 】

[That flu infected 40% of the world's population, 40 million to 50 million people died, and the losses were huge. 】

[At present, some studies have shown that the infection rate is 10.7% and the prevalence rate is 4.4% in adults, and 7.2% in people over 65 years old. 】

[It is estimated that seasonal influenza can cause 3 million ~ 5 million severe cases and 290,000 ~ 650,000 deaths worldwide every year. 】

[All children under the age of 5 are considered to be at high risk of severe influenza, but children under 2 years of age are at the highest risk, and infants under 6 months of age have the highest rates of hospitalization and mortality.] 】

[High-risk groups, such as pregnant women, infants, the elderly, and patients with chronic underlying diseases, are at higher risk of severe illness and death after influenza. 】

[Source of infection:]

Influenza patients and latent infections are the main sources of infection. 】

[The patient is contagious 1~7 days after the onset of the disease, and the most contagious is 2~3 days after the onset of the disease.] 】

[Transmission route:]

Influenza virus survives in the air for about half an hour, and can be infected by direct or indirect contact with mucous membranes such as the mouth, nose, and eyes, and can also be infected by touching items contaminated with the virus. 】

[In densely populated, enclosed, poorly ventilated places, influenza can also spread as an aerosol.] 】

【Susceptible Population:】

[The population is generally susceptible to influenza.] 】

[Some people are prone to develop severe cases after being infected with the virus, and attention should be paid to:]

[Children aged 5 years (2 years old are more likely to have serious complications);]

[Aged 65 years old;]

[Those with the following diseases or conditions: chronic respiratory diseases, cardiovascular system diseases (except hypertension), kidney diseases, liver diseases, blood system diseases, nervous system and neuromuscular diseases, metabolic and endocrine system diseases, malignant tumors, immunosuppression, etc.;]

[Obese (BMI 30);]

[Pregnant and perinatal women. 】

【General Treatment:】

[Isolation: Clinically diagnosed patients and confirmed patients should be isolated and treated as soon as possible.] Patients with mild symptoms can isolate themselves at home and avoid close contact with others. 】

[Rest and diet: keep the room ventilated and fully rested; eat and drink plenty of water, consume easy-to-digest and nutritious food, and pay attention to maintaining nasal, pharyngeal and oral hygiene. 】

[Cooling: People with high fever can be physically cooled, such as applying a wet towel to the forehead. 】

[Pay close attention to the occurrence and development of severe influenza: once you have a severe tendency such as persistent high fever, accompanied by severe cough, difficulty breathing, confusion, severe vomiting and diarrhea, you should seek medical attention in time.] Pregnant women, children, the elderly, and those with chronic illnesses are more likely to develop severe influenza and should seek medical attention as soon as possible. 】

【TCM Treatment:】

[Generally commonly used types of traditional Chinese medicines: dispelling wind and relieving the surface, clearing heat and detoxifying, other traditional Chinese medicines can be added or deleted according to the symptoms. 】

[Other treatment options:]

[Western medicine, taking antiviral drugs, patients with high fever can use antipyretic drugs, severe cough and expectorant drugs should be given, and oxygen therapy should be carried out in an appropriate way according to the degree of hypoxia. 】

【......】

"A cold is more terrible than the AIDS that preceded it?"

"Isn't this just a cold? Just sleep for two days, and you don't need to take medicine, so you can save money." "

"Make a big fuss..."

"Don't make any noise, I feel that the cold in the future is different from now, don't you see that tens of thousands of people will die of illness all at once?"

“......"

The ancient people did not believe that the common cold could be ranked fifth among the most terrifying infectious diseases!

They don't feel that way at all.

Qin Dynasty.

Ying Zheng's expression was very surprised.

He thought that the fifth place would be a terrible epidemic that he had never seen before.

Who would have thought that it was just a cold.

But since the light curtain said, the flu is a contagious disease that is taken lightly.

Ying Zheng didn't dare to be careless.

He looked at him seriously and said, "Let the doctor record the information about the flu and draw it into a booklet." "

"Especially the routes of transmission and treatments. "

After that, the pamphlet was distributed to the villages and towns and handed over to the village chief. "

"In this way, if someone has a cold, they can also be treated as soon as possible to avoid infecting more people. "

Finished.

Ying Zheng was a little lucky.

Thanks to the paper, it would have taken years to engrave on bamboo slips, and to accomplish this feat.

Now, with full operation, a few months is enough.

Han dynasty.

Liu Bang is a little blindsided.

"I've had a lot of colds, and I don't see any major problems. "

"Drink some hot tea, put on the futon and get up to sleep. "

He was ill in his early years, and he almost didn't need treatment, and he passed with hard resistance.

If you have that money, you might as well use it for wine and meat.

Liu Bang looked at the surrounding ministers and asked curiously:

"Guys, do you think the flu is as scary as it goes?"

Xiao He stared at the light curtain for a while, and replied: "Your Majesty, the flu on the light curtain is different from what it is now, it should have undergone the mutation mentioned by the light curtain, which is why it has become so terrifying." "

"I think you can't be careless. "

Liu Bang pondered for a moment when he heard this.

The Han Dynasty is now so poor that the people have almost no money to buy medicine when they are sick.

So be it.

In contrast, it is important to plant the food obtained from the light curtain. (If you read a violent novel, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

When people have enough to eat, they are less likely to get sick.

Liu Bang thought about it and guessed that this might be the reason for improving his resistance.

Another dynasty.

Liu Che suddenly realized.

"It turned out to be spread by saliva. "

Doctors can treat diseases, but they don't understand where they come from.

After the light curtain one explained.

Liu Che finally understood why a cold is also contagious, usually one person in the family has a cold, and it will soon become several.

Here's why.

Liu Che had a whim, "Can you cover your mouth and nose with something to prevent infection?"

He called in a few imperial doctors.

After discussion, it was decided that it was feasible.

As a result, the earliest surgical masks appeared during the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

Tang dynasty.

Li Shimin was a little surprised.

"A small cold can kill tens of millions of people!?"

"Since then, hundreds of thousands of people have died every year. "

He couldn't believe his eyes.

Is such a common disease really so powerful?

Another dynasty.

Wu Zetian's face was full of worry.

Her attention was on two strings of information.

[The infection rate and prevalence rate are 10.7% and 4.4% in adults, and 7.2% in people over 65 years of age.] 】

[High-risk groups, such as pregnant women, infants, the elderly, and patients with chronic underlying diseases, are at higher risk of severe illness and death after influenza. 】

She's getting older now.

Isn't it the increasing probability of getting sick and the ease of becoming seriously ill?

But soon, she came up with a solution. []

Eat more allicin.

She remembered that allicin can improve immunity, and it is not toxic or has side effects.

There are also disadvantages, that is, the garlic flavor after eating a mouthful.

She was very displeased.

Ming dynasty.

Zhu Yuanzhang was not worried about being infected with the wind chill at all.

He is very confident in his physical condition.

Now, he handles 8 hours a day, a full 16 hours, and still doesn't feel tired!

Even riding a horse and slashing people with a knife is not a problem.

A little wind chill, but he can't help the slightest.

Zhu Yuanzhang is worried about Zhu Biao, Zhu Xiongying and Queen Ma, the three of them are not as strong as him.

Especially Zhu Xiongying.

But he saw that children were more susceptible to disease.

Zhu Yuanzhang thought of this, and immediately ordered: "Xiong Ying, you are young and have nothing to do, and when you see someone infected, remember to stay away from them." "

"Yes, Grandpa. Zhu Xiongying replied with wide eyes.

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded with satisfaction.

That's not enough.

Reducing the number of people infected is the most important thing.

He began to ponder whether he should make a pamphlet for the people to heal.

The Ming Dynasty already had a precedent, and that was "Dahao".

However, it is in charge of the criminal law, and the purpose is roughly to popularize the law for the people, so that they can sue the court if they have been wronged.

Now, with the addition of a pamphlet on healing, the people should be able to accept it.

[Popular science continues.] 】

[Start the fifth place in popular science.] 】
