　　◎Our reporter Chen Xi

　　Recently, prevention and control measures across the country have been intensively adjusted, and some cities no longer need to show a negative nucleic acid certificate or scan the code when entering public places.

However, unblocking does not mean unblocking. With the optimization of prevention and control measures, the requirements for personal protection have also increased.

Everyone is the first person responsible for their own health.

　　How to prepare medicine?

How to deal with symptoms?

What about the elderly and children?

　　Some people are puzzled, and some even panic. In this regard, Zhang Boli, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, said that individuals should still adhere to the effective prevention and control measures in the past, be cautious about using drugs that are not commonly used in the Internet, and encourage families to prepare their own antigen kits for self-testing.

　　How to prepare medicine at home every day?

　　During the COVID-19 epidemic, many people have developed good hygiene habits, such as wearing masks when going out and washing hands frequently when they go home.

In this regard, Academician Zhang Boli said that in daily life, it is still necessary to correctly wear disposable medical masks or masks with a protective level above, especially in closed places and crowded places.

Wash your hands and disinfect your hands after going out, and reduce touching public parts outside, such as shopping mall curtains, escalators, elevator switches, etc., and do not touch your mouth, nose and eyes with your hands.

　　At present, with the gradual restoration of life order, many places have returned to the scene of heavy traffic in the past.

Academician Zhang Boli suggested that gatherings should be kept as little as possible, and social distance should be maintained in places with many people. When holding meetings, taking elevators, shopping and paying fees in supermarkets and other places where people gather, social distance should be more than 1 meter; when coughing and sneezing, use paper towels Cover your mouth and nose, then wrap a tissue and put it in the trash can or cover it with your elbow. You should not spit anywhere.

　　"During the epidemic of influenza and the new crown, when you go out and go home every day, you can rinse your mouth with ice salt water and brush your nasal cavity with a cotton swab." Academician Zhang Boli said.

　　Aiming at the current shortage of many cold medicines in pharmacies, Academician Zhang Boli reminded that in terms of drug preparation, the anti-epidemic practice summarized and screened the "three medicines and three prescriptions" (the "three medicines" are Jinhua Qinggan Granules, Lianhua Qingwen Granules and Capsules, Xuebijing Injection, "Three Recipes" are effective drugs represented by Qingfei Paidu Decoction, Huashi Baidu Decoction, and Xuanfei Baidu Decoction), but they need to be used under the guidance of a doctor.

You can prepare some medicines for colds and coughs at home, including antipyretic and analgesics, Chinese patent medicines, conventional cold medicines and daily medicines.

Be cautious about using drugs that are advertised on the Internet and are not commonly used.

　　What should I do if I have a cold and fever symptoms?

　　Winter itself is a season of high incidence of colds. Many people worry that once they have symptoms of cold and fever, they don't know what to do.

In this regard, academician Zhang Boli said that if residents find that they have fever, sore throat, cough and other symptoms, they should take Chinese patent medicines for colds as soon as possible, double the dosage for the first time, drink more boiled water, and rest more.

And temporarily self-isolate, try to avoid going out for medical treatment, and reduce the risk of infection or transmission.

　　"Families are encouraged to prepare their own antigen kits and conduct self-tests. During the period, they should try to isolate themselves from their families. If the self-test results are positive for antigens, they should contact the community and the hospital in time for isolation and treatment." Academician Zhang Boli suggested that if the family does not have a Nucleic acid antigen test kits, or patients, especially elderly or children, who have persistent high fever accompanied by frequent dry cough, fatigue, sore throat, loss of smell (taste), diarrhea, etc., should contact the community and hospital in time, and get in touch with the staff Communicate and choose different plans depending on the patient's situation, such as door-to-door nucleic acid, community purchase of medicines, and sending them to fever clinics or designated medical institutions for medical treatment based on the principle of proximity.

　　How to protect key groups such as the elderly and children?

　　At present, the vaccination rate of the elderly population in some areas of my country is still relatively low. Previously, there were cases of death of elderly people due to the infection of the new crown in Beijing and Chongqing.

　　"In addition to daily protection, the most effective protection for people over 65 years old, especially those over 80 years old, is vaccination." Zhang Boli reminded that because the immune function of the elderly is relatively weak, people over 65 years old who have completed the basic vaccine immunization The antibody level and protective effect produced are relatively lower than those of people aged 18 to 59, and once infected, the proportion of severe and critical illness is also higher.

Therefore, for the elderly who have not been vaccinated, if there are no absolute contraindications, it is recommended to take the initiative to vaccinate as soon as possible.

　　For children, especially young children, Zhang Boli suggested that not only the personal protection of the children themselves, but also their parents and guardians should also take corresponding protective measures.

Children over the age of 3 should be fully vaccinated, wear masks correctly when going out, do good hygiene, maintain social distance, and avoid going to crowded public places; parents and guardians should prepare a balanced and nutritious diet, arrange work and rest, and improve children's immunity , keep children's rooms tidy, ensure sufficient fresh air volume by opening doors and windows at the right time, and pay attention to children's mental health, etc.

　　Mentally should also be prepared

　　With the optimization of epidemic prevention and control policies, people's awareness of self-protection should be enhanced, and everyone is the first person responsible for their own health.

In addition to doing the preparatory work mentioned above, you must maintain a peaceful mind, no anxiety, no fear, and don't listen to rumors and false information.

　　"When there are confirmed cases and quarantines around you, treat them correctly and accept them positively. Once they come, you will be at ease." Academician Zhang Boli said, don't trust information from unknown sources, and get information from official channels.

Actively do a good job of emotional calming and self-adjustment, such as reading, writing, Ba Duan Jin, Tai Chi, etc., to ensure physical and mental relaxation; for parents of children and adolescents, they should also pay attention not to pass on anxiety to their children to ensure their psychological well-being. health status.

　　"If people, especially those diagnosed with new coronary pneumonia, close contacts and asymptomatic infections, really cannot resolve their psychological problems by themselves, and even affect their daily study, work and life, they must seek treatment from a professional psychologist or psychiatrist in time." Suggested by Academician Zhang Boli.
