In the face of the cold wave, the large temperature difference between day and night, and the Spring Festival holiday and the peak travel season, the risk of infection may continue to increase. Experts said that the virus epidemic is approaching fiercely, whether it is the flu or the new crown virus, every time you win a lottery, it is a big burden on the body and psychology.
Experts remind that as long as you master the four major principles, you can avoid being caught by the virus. Even if you accidentally win the bid, you can recover quickly without leaving annoying sequelae.

Prevention is better than cure, strengthen immunity

There is a saying in the classics of traditional Chinese medicine: "Good qi exists within, and evil cannot be eliminated." This means that when the body's immunity is intact, external viruses and bacteria will not be able to enter our body and cause chaos. Therefore, maintaining a good daily routine and a healthy diet are definitely the only way to resist viruses.
Experts suggest that you can choose some Chinese medicinal materials such as Scutellaria baicalensis, Codonopsis pilosula, American ginseng, Atractylodes macrocephala, etc., and brew them into tea and drink them appropriately to strengthen your own immunity.

Golden treatment period to quickly eliminate the virus

Experts remind that if chest pain, wheezing and coughing, or body fever occur, be especially careful as it may be a warning sign of influenza or COVID-19! In case of illness, as long as you grasp the golden treatment period and take medicine as soon as symptoms appear, you can quickly eliminate the virus. Chinese herbal medicines such as ginseng, Hericium, Agaricus blazei, etc. all have strong immunity-boosting effects. These Chinese herbal medicines or foods can be appropriately added to your daily diet. You can also go to the clinic immediately and ask a Chinese medicine practitioner to prescribe suitable Chinese medicine. By using Chinese medicine to inhibit the proliferation of viruses, you can prevent the virus army from causing more harm to the body. In addition, the elderly and people with chronic diseases or low immunity should be more vigilant and do not miss the golden treatment period.

In the later stages of infection, body repair is more important

After influenza and COVID-19 symptoms subside, the patient's body will generally continue to be inflamed for a period of time. Common symptoms include cough, dry mouth, fatigue, chest tightness, poor sleep quality, etc. During this period, the body's recovery is very important. In addition to getting more rest and eating less ice-sweetened milk, taking traditional Chinese medicine that moistens dryness and nourishes yin (such as quercetin) and strengthens the spleen and qi can help the body recover more quickly and prevent annoying sequelae.

Living with the virus! Acupoint massage boosts immunity

* Hegu point and Zusanli point: improve gastrointestinal function, promote nutrient absorption, and increase immunity.
8 Qihai point and Guanyuan point: To replenish qi and nourish qi, warm compresses can be used if the body is weak and cold.
When pressing acupoints, you can press the same acupoint for about 1 to 2 minutes. The effect will be achieved if you feel soreness, numbness, and swelling. There is no need to rub hard to avoid excessive stimulation and injury.

Understand it in one second! Flu, cold, and COVID-19 are very different

With the popularization of vaccines and virus mutation, COVID-19 seems to be gradually becoming like ordinary flu, becoming a "new normal" that we need to deal with for a long time. Although the symptoms of colds, COVID-19, and flu are not the same, they are somewhat similar, and it is often difficult to tell them apart.

COVID-19: The symptoms of COVID-19 can be very diverse. Common symptoms include fever, cough, tiredness, loss of smell, sore throat, headache, muscle or joint pain, shortness of breath, etc. Severe cases may lead to pneumonia, difficulty breathing, and even require hospitalization.

Influenza: Symptoms of influenza are more severe than those of a common cold. They usually come on suddenly, accompanied by high fever, severe muscle and joint pain, extreme fatigue, dry cough, sore throat, headache, etc. Influenza may cause serious complications, such as pneumonia.

Common cold: Symptoms of a common cold are generally mild and include runny nose, sneezing, sore throat, mild cough, mild headache or physical discomfort. High fever generally does not occur and does not lead to serious complications.
