In early autumn, the weather changes erratically, the body is susceptible to a number of diseases related to the respiratory tract and immune system.
Accordingly, 3 common diseases that need to be prevented in the fall as well as effective preventive measures are noted by experts from the health website Healthline.
Flu
Flu is one of the common diseases during the changing seasons, especially when the weather changes constantly between hot and cold. When the body has not yet adapted to the changes in weather, the immune system is easily weakened and is easily attacked by the flu virus.
Symptoms of the flu typically include fever, cough, sneezing, sore throat, and fatigue. The illness may resolve on its own after a few days, but should be monitored for complications such as pneumonia or bronchitis.
To prevent the flu, housewives can consider getting a flu vaccine every year to reduce the risk of infection. At the same time, wash your hands regularly and keep your body warm, especially at night and early morning when the temperature drops.
Bronchitis
Bronchitis is an infection of the airways in the lungs, especially when the air is dry and the temperature drops. Symptoms of bronchitis include coughing, shortness of breath, fatigue, and fever. If left untreated, the disease can lead to pneumonia and other serious complications.
Health experts advise avoiding exposure to dust and polluted air. Maintain humidity in the house to avoid dry nose and throat, especially strengthen the immune system by eating nutritious foods, drinking enough water and supplementing with necessary vitamins.
Sinusitis
Sinusitis is a common disease in the fall due to sudden changes in weather causing dry nasal mucosa. People with sinusitis often feel uncomfortable with symptoms such as nasal congestion, headache, earache and constant sneezing.
Housewives can limit sinusitis in many ways, but the most basic is to keep the body warm, especially the head and neck in cold weather.
