With the continuous hot and sunny weather, many members of the public are considering installing air-conditioning at home, but some people are worried that air-conditioning will suffer from "air-conditioning disease" after being used for a long time. Let's listen to the doctor's advice.
A general practitioner at the First People's Hospital of Yunnan Province said that there is no such thing as "air-conditioning disease" in medicine, it is a sociological diagnosis of the disease.
Zhang Xindan, attending physician of the Department of General Medicine, Yunnan Provincial First People's Hospital: "Usually we refer to some diseases caused by air conditioning or related to air conditioning as "air conditioning disease". There are usually some manifestations such as fever, dizziness, upper respiratory tract infection, nasal congestion, cough, dry skin, dry mouth, and even some diarrhea, abdominal pain, nausea, retching if we have a cold in the abdomen. If we blow directly into the air conditioner, we may experience a stiffness of the face, or a temporary symptom of facial paralysis. ”
Why do people get sick after using an air conditioner?
Zhang Xindan, attending physician of the Department of General Medicine, the First People's Hospital of Yunnan Province:" In the air-conditioned closed environment, it may not have air circulation, and then bacteria and viruses are easier to breed, it will also cause our body to get sick, and as we say when we sweat, our overall pores are open, if we suddenly enter an air-conditioned room when the temperature is low, in fact, the pores of our body are also in an emergency shutdown state, so that many times, our toxin waste can not be discharged from the body in time, which is also a cause of illness. ”
The doctor said that the air conditioner can be used in moderation, but there are some precautions that need to be reminded.
Zhang Xindan, attending physician of the Department of General Medicine of the First People's Hospital of Yunnan Province: "The temperature difference between our indoor and outdoor should not be too large, when we enter the room, if we are sweating and sweating, do not blow the wind, often clean and disinfect the air conditioner, properly open the window to ventilate and increase the time of outdoor activities, in fact, proper sweating is also a good thing for the body, increasing our disease resistance and resistance." ”
