There is a central air conditioner at work in the unit. Driving the car to carry the air conditioner, and go home to turn on the wall -mounted air conditioner ... Since the summer, Ms. Zhou (pseudonym), 25 years old, is accompanied by the air conditioner for a long time. To 22 ° C. Not long ago, Ms. Zhou had symptoms of nasal congestion, fatigue, joint pain, and mental weakness. She was also accompanied by itchy skin, so she came to Changsha Third Hospital for treatment and was diagnosed with upper respiratory infections.

"Ms. Zhou's onset this time was caused by the long time blowing time and the temperature of the air conditioner too low." He Longpei, chief physician of the severe medical department of the hospital, introduced the so -called "air -conditioning disease". The "uncomfortable syndrome" caused by the air conditioning environment is not adapted. Symptoms vary from person to person. The common symptoms are: dizziness, headache, nasal congestion, abdominal pain, loss of appetite, tinnitus, fatigue, memory loss, skewed mouth, joint pain, back pain, soreness of lower limbs, prone to colds and gastrointestinal diseases of different degrees of gastrointestinal diseases Wait.

Case overnight air conditioner blows a crooked face

"I will pay attention to the air conditioner in the future. I don't blow my face or blow it for a long time." Luo Yan, who had been hospitalized recently, said. Half a month ago, she was blowing the air -conditioning overnight at the wind. Early the next morning, she found that her mouth was tilted to the left, and her right eyelid could not be closed. The doctor was diagnosed with facial neuritis. For more than half a month, more than 10 such patients have been treated with more than 10 such patients in the acupuncture treatment room of the Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine Integrated Department of Changsha City.

Zhou Lingyan, deputy chief physician of the Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine Section of the hospital, introduced that when using air conditioners, people like to blow in the air. As everyone knows, the cold wind blowing out of the air conditioner is the evil of wind and cold. After a long time, the evil of wind and cold will be injected into the meridians, resulting in qi blockage, so that the opposite muscle activity is unfavorable. In addition, in addition to direct blowing and long blowing air -conditioning fan, after ride, cooling outdoors, bathing, and drinking, if the wind blows the head and face, it can also cause facial neuritis.

Zhou Lingyan reminded that the cold wind should avoid blowing the body directly, especially the head, knee, lower abdomen, waist, etc., which are more sensitive to temperature. If you blow directly into the head and neck, the temperature of the scalp decreases, which can easily cause cerebrovascular contraction. For elderly people with cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, stroke can be induced in severe cases.

She suggested that the air -conditioning outlet is facing up, and she circulates from top to bottom, and the refrigeration effect is better. After the temperature is more comfortable, the air -conditioning wind speed can be reduced, power consumption, and noise. It can also be used to prevent the cold wind from blowing directly at the body.

In addition, pay attention to the warmth of the neck and shoulders. You can prepare a small blanket or scarf, and then put it on the neck and shoulders to prevent cold. Those who stay in the air -conditioned room should drink plenty of water to speed up metabolism. If the room is dry, you can put a pot of water.

Case children are not good at coughing

Remember to "take a bath" for the air conditioner

"Cough ..." Recently, Mr. Chen's 4 -year -old daughter Jingjing coughing, very powerful at night, and not good after taking medicine. Yao Bibo, deputy chief physician of the seven department of the Department of Chest Hospital of Hunan Province, performed a allergic source test for Jingjing and found that the child was a typical dust mite allergy. Yao Bibo asked that when Mr. Chen opened the air conditioner, the doors and windows were closed, the indoor air was not circulating, and the air conditioner had not been cleaned for two years.

The indoor environment and health branch of the China Environmental Science Society had conducted a survey of household air -conditioning and households in Beishangguang, and found that 88%of the total number of bacteria of air -conditioning heat sinks exceeded the standard. The test found that the bacterial content per square centimeter of air -conditioning heat sink reaches 288-1200cfu (the number of live bacteria in the volume of the unit). The bacterial content of the air -conditioning heat sink is more than 60 times the toilet!

Changsha's high temperature and high humidity weather is especially suitable for germs to reproduce, especially the air conditioning system. If it is not used for a long time and is not cleaned, it is easy to breed bacteria, fungi, mites, etc. Yao Bibo said that once the air conditioner is turned on, these pathogens will float into the air and enter the respiratory tract, causing children to cough. Therefore, before using the air conditioner, you must "take a bath" for the air conditioner.

So, how to clean the air conditioner correctly? Yao Bibo said that the central air conditioner and vehicle air conditioner should ask professional institutions to conduct regular testing and cleaning, and use professional disinfection agents to disinfect to prevent some germs and mites accumulated in the air conditioner from causing respiratory tract infections.

Household desktop air conditioners, you can ask professionals to clean it or clean it by yourself. First of all, clean the filter of the air conditioner, unplug the power supply, turn on the outer cover of the air conditioner, and remove the filter under the flowing water for cleaning. Full air -conditioning cleaner foam, set up for about 15 minutes, and then install the filter, run 15 minutes to 30 minutes according to the normal refrigeration program. It should be noted that it is not recommended to clean the air conditioner with alcohol. Although medical alcohol can disinfect and sterilize, at the same time, it is volatile and easy to form flammable and explosive gas. If it is not volatile, it is easy to turn on the air conditioner.

Tip

Stay away from "air conditioning disease"

Yao Bibo said that as long as you pay attention to the use method, you can prevent "air conditioning disease". While citizens enjoy cool, please also pay attention to the following points:

1. Open the window to ventilate and increase ventilation. If the air -conditioned house is closed for a long time, the new air volume is small, the air fluidity is poor, and the pathogenic microorganisms are prone to breeding, which will increase the risk of suffering from respiratory diseases.

2. Proper clothes to avoid cold. Don't blow the air conditioner immediately when sweating. You should first change your wet clothes, dry your hair, wait for the temperature of the body to return to the room temperature, and then enter the air -conditioned room. When blowing the air conditioner, keep the warmth of the abdomen, cervical spine, and knee joint.

3. Pay regularly, pay attention to hygiene. In the air -conditioned room dense environment, it is necessary to not smoke indoor, pay attention to indoor sanitation, use disinfectants regularly to prevent the breeding of microorganisms, and regularly clean the air conditioner.

4. Outdoor activities, contact nature. Those who work and live in the air -conditioned room for a long time should maintain a certain outdoor activity time, contact the sun, breathe fresh air, and enhance human immunity.
