"Fever, sore throat, dry cough, general pain, fatigue, dizziness, and vomiting are the main symptoms of 'Eryang' patients at present." Luo Rou, deputy director and deputy chief physician of the Critical Care Department of the Second Affiliated Hospital of Hunan University of Chinese Medicine (Hunan Provincial Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine), said that at present, influenza, new crown "two yang" and common cold appear cross-appear, and the gold standard for distinguishing is through nucleic acid testing. At the same time, in response to the hot issues related to "Eryang", Luo Rou answered questions.

Which groups of people are prone to "two yangs"

After a cure of the new coronavirus infection, people generally develop resistance to this type of virus, but if the virus mutates, they may become infected again. At present, there are several people who are prone to "two yangs":

Low immunity: After the new crown virus infection is cured, short-acting antibodies will be produced in the body, but if the immunity itself is low, it may cause the virus to enter the body again.

Lack of protection: If you often go to densely populated places, do not wear masks, and do not pay attention to keeping your distance from others, you are also prone to re-infection with the virus.

Serious underlying diseases: such as hypertension, diabetes, coronary atherosclerotic heart disease, etc., if the underlying diseases are not controlled in time, they may deteriorate due to the aggravation of the condition and be re-infected with the virus.

No injection of the new crown vaccine: People who have not been injected have relatively few antibodies in the body, the risk of infection will be greater, and the probability of reinfection will be greater.

"Sore throat" is not a clear feature of "Eryang"

Many "Eryang" people have "sore throat", is it a clear feature of this infection? Luo Rou said that it varies from person to person. For how to relieve pharyngeal discomfort, she suggested that, in general, if there is a sore throat caused by acute pharyngitis, oral antipyretic and analgesic drugs can be used, and daily throat protection can be paid attention to. There are five ways to relieve a sore throat daily.

Ensure water intake. A certain humidity has a moisturizing and protective effect on the pharyngeal mucosa. It is recommended that healthy adult men drink 1700 ml of water per day and women drink 1500 ml of water per day. Drink multiple times and in small amounts.

Gargle with salt water. Saline rinsing the mucous membrane of the throat can play a role in sterilization and relieve inflammation. Add a small half-spoonful of table salt (a beer bottle cap) to a bowl of warm water (about 250ml) and gargle your throat when the salt is fully dissolved. Spit it out for 20~30 seconds, and then rinse your mouth with water.

Steam moisturizes your throat. Open your mouth and face the hot water cup at an appropriate distance, taking care that the water temperature does not exceed 60 ° C. 2 times a day, each time for about 20 minutes, 2~3 days can relieve pain symptoms.

Contains throat lozenges. When taking it, it should be contained in the base of the tongue near the throat, can not be directly chewed and swallowed, do not drink a lot of water within half an hour of serving. Note that most throat lozenges contain iodine, which can have a good inhibitory effect on bacteria, but should be taken under the guidance of a doctor, if there is no inflammation in the throat, try not to use.

In the face of "Eryang", there is no need to worry too much

According to Xinhua News Agency, in late May, the National Health Commission organized a number of experts to be interviewed by Xinhua News Agency reporters, and experts judged that overall, there will be no large-scale epidemic in the short term.

Wang Liping, a researcher at the Communication and Prevention Department of the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention, said that from the monitoring data of the national infectious disease network direct reporting system, the number of confirmed new crown cases reported nationwide has shown an upward trend since mid-to-late April, but in the past week, the upward trend has slowed down. It is expected that in the next period of time, the national epidemic situation will show a slow upward trend, and it is not ruled out that the epidemic situation will increase in some areas.

Luo Rou said that from January 2023, 1, regarding the management of new crown virus infection, the state will adjust "Class B tube" to "Class B tube". Therefore, in the face of "two yangs", we do not have to worry too much, do a good job of self-health monitoring, pay attention to their own protection, and properly prepare some common medicines such as clearing heat, releasing wind and relieving the throat.
