In fact, the body also has its own immune system. Do you know which symptoms are your body's detoxification? Cough, fever, tummy & hellip; & hellip; when the body appears these discomfort, people often lose their color in a panic, thinking that "serious illness is imminent". In fact, the symptoms that make you uncomfortable may be that your body's' defense system 'is helping you resist the invasion of foreign enemies - all kinds of bacteria and foreign bodies.
First, fever, the immune system in the 'roast' bacteria
Take antipyretics as soon as you have a fever? Don't worry. First let fever start: fever can 'activate' the immune system, increase the activity of white blood cells in the immune system, promote antibody production, and improve the 'combat effectiveness' of the immune system. When the body is hot, the body temperature exceeds the temperature suitable for the growth of pathogenic bacteria, which can 'roast' the pathogenic bacteria in the body and play a bacteriostatic role. If the symptoms of fever make you very uncomfortable, you can deal with it as follows: body temperature & lt; 38.5 ℃, do not need to take antipyretics, drink a proper amount of warm boiled water or oral rehydration salt, and use physical cooling at the same time. Body temperature & gt; 38.5 ℃, you can use antipyretics as appropriate to relieve the restlessness and discomfort caused by fever. It should be noted that if the fever does not subside for 3 days after taking the medicine, or the fever continues to be low and the mental state is not good, it may indicate that there are some serious problems in the body, such as autoimmune diseases, tumors, infections, etc., which need to be treated in time.
Second, coughing and removing foreign matters in the respiratory tract
Antitussive water and syrup are common medicines for many people's home and travel. But what Xiong Xiaozhi wants to say is that coughing is good for removing harmful substances in the respiratory tract and keeping it clean and unobstructed. A cough on the urgent take cough medicine, is not conducive to sputum or foreign matter discharge, easy to cause respiratory tract infection. Therefore, the most important thing to do when coughing is to see if there are accompanying symptoms such as expectoration. In the absence of other symptoms, severe dry cough without phlegm can be stopped by dextromethorphan; if cough and expectoration, ambroxol and other drugs can be used to eliminate phlegm and stop cough. If cough occurs at a special time, or accompanied by other symptoms, such as gastroesophageal reflux coughing as soon as lying down, sudden chest tightness when sleeping to half, breathlessness, cough heart disease, and cough over 3 weeks, it is recommended to go to the hospital in time.
Third, vomiting, stomach expelling pathogenic bacteria
When vomiting, the contents of the stomach are uncontrollable, making people uncomfortable. Overeating, or eating toxic substances, as well as too cold, too hot and other irritant food, may cause nausea and vomiting. This is a self-protection mechanism for gastrointestinal tract to eliminate harmful substances from the body, minimize the stimulation to the stomach, prevent the invasion of bacteria and regulate the physiological function. However, there are several kinds of vomitus which are quite special. We should go to the hospital as soon as possible. Vomiting is accompanied by stomach distention, which is usually caused by overeating and dyspepsia. Gastric motility drugs such as domperidone tablet can be taken properly. If often retching, excluding gastrointestinal diseases, to consider whether suffering from pharyngitis, as soon as possible to the ENT department. Jet vomiting, or repeated vomiting, accompanied by abdominal pain, fever and other symptoms, should be treated immediately.
Fourth, diarrhea, help the gut to discharge 'toxins'
Diarrhea is a signal from the gut to the body that 'unfriendly toxins' or food are harming the gut and stomach. Diarrhea can help the body excrete these 'toxins' and prevent them from continuing to harm the body. Therefore, it is not recommended to use drugs as soon as diarrhea occurs. Drug abuse not only hinders the discharge of toxins, but also may cover up the real condition and delay treatment. It should be noted that if the diarrhea is serious, stool with blood, abdominal spasm pain, or accompanied by abdominal pain, fever, vomiting and other symptoms, you should immediately seek medical attention.
Fifthly, earwax, a barrier to protect the skin of the ear canal
Earwax (cerumen) is the product of oil glands and sweat glands, which can protect the skin of the external auditory canal and adhere to the external substances. Just like tears can lubricate the eyes, earwax can lubricate the ears, obviously kill some bacteria, avoid dryness and itching, and prevent insects from crawling in. If you use a spoon, a hairpin, a matchstick, a cotton swab, etc. to dig your ears, there are many harms. The skin of the external auditory canal is very delicate, and improper use of force when pulling out the ear is easy to cause injury and infection, resulting in boils, inflammation and ulceration, causing intolerable ear pain, affecting mouth opening and chewing, and even leading to perforation of the eardrum. It may push the earwax deeper and hard to remove. It is easy to make the cuticle of the external auditory canal swollen and block the hair follicle, providing a hotbed for the growth of bacteria. In fact, with the help of chewing, mouth opening and other sports, earwax can be discharged by itself. If there is cerumen that cannot be discharged, it is recommended to take it out in the Department with otoendoscopy.
Sixth, yawn and replenish the brain with oxygen
What's the use of yawning in addition to infecting others? The answer is: it can give your brain a break. Yawning deep breathing exercise can promote blood circulation, increase the oxygen in the blood, discharge more carbon dioxide, so as to make energy more abundant and eliminate sleepiness. When you are sleepy, you yawn constantly. That is, your brain reminds you that you are tired and need to sleep. When long-term ambush work, might as well stretch, head back, hit a big yawn, remove sleepiness. It is found that about 70% - 80% of patients with ischemic stroke often yawn about one week before the onset of the disease due to cerebral ischemia and hypoxia. If there is a history of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular disease or the elderly, if they frequently yawn for unknown reasons, they should go to the hospital in time for examination.
Seventh, tears, give your eyes a bath
Tear is a kind of weak acid liquid. In addition to 98.2% water, there are lysozyme, immunoglobulin, lactoferrin and other substances, which can inhibit the growth of bacteria. Tears can wash away dust and other foreign matters, protect cornea and conjunctiva from damage, while lysozyme can kill 90% - 95% of bacteria in 5-10 minutes. From a psychological point of view, tears can ease the mental burden. Whether it's weeping with sadness or crying with joy, it can effectively release emotions. However, crying for too long can damage memory and attention, and even reduce immunity. It is recommended that crying time be controlled within 15 minutes. In addition, even if there is no crying, the lacrimal gland will produce a small amount of tear to moisten the eyeball. But wearing contact lenses for a long time, insufficient intake of vitamin A, watching the screen for a long time, staying in the air conditioning room or heating room for a long time, randomly dropping eyedrops and other bad habits will make the lacrimal gland gradually 'dry', causing dry eyes, which should be avoided in life as much as possible.
Finally, although the above symptoms are not diseases, they will appear in many diseases. If the above symptoms are accompanied by other symptoms, or if you don't find the right advice in the above, it's best to see a doctor as soon as possible.
