What is tuberculosis, and what will happen if you get it?

Patients will have low fever, night sweats, fatigue, poor diet, malnutrition and other symptoms, often manifested as wasting diseases.

Speaking of diseases, I believe everyone is familiar with them. In daily life, the diseases we often talk about are mainly hypertension, diabetes, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, cerebral hemorrhage and so on.

These diseases may bring great harm to the body, and the number of patients is relatively large, resulting in very serious consequences. Today, Bian Xiao wants to talk to you about something different. We want to talk to you about an infectious disease, which is tuberculosis.

Tuberculosis is a pulmonary infectious disease, mainly caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Mycobacterium tuberculosis can spread through air droplets and then colonize the lungs, causing local allergies or allergies, thus leading to lung lesions.

What are the symptoms of tuberculosis?

When tuberculosis comes on, patients will have symptoms such as low fever, night sweats, fatigue, poor diet and malnutrition. Due to inflammatory infection and immune response, this usually manifests as wasting disease. Therefore, in daily life, special emphasis is placed on balanced nutrition and adequate sleep time.

What should tuberculosis patients pay attention to in their daily life?

Pay attention to going to bed early and getting up early in daily life to ensure adequate sleep and sleep quality. Usually pay attention to avoid strenuous physical activity, don't go to places with unclean air, and pay attention to isolation. Wear a mask in public places to avoid the spread of tuberculosis, thus infecting others.

For tuberculosis patients, we should pay attention to strengthening protein-rich foods such as meat, eggs and milk, as well as vegetables and fruits rich in vitamins. Under the condition of adequate rest and nutritional guarantee, after reasonable drug treatment, mycobacterium tuberculosis can be killed and the recovery of the disease can be accelerated.

In addition, it should be emphasized that for tuberculosis patients, drug treatment will last for more than half a year before they can fully recover.

How should we prevent tuberculosis? We should pay attention to the following points

We need to improve our immunity.

In daily life, in order to prevent tuberculosis, we need to pay attention to improving our immunity. Specifically, we should do this. We need a healthy lifestyle, no smoking and no drinking. Smoking has a great influence on our health, so we need to pay attention.

We need to have a proper exercise method. Old people can often play Tai Ji Chuan, dance in square dance and take a walk, which are all good exercises. For young people, in order to improve their immunity, don't work overtime for a long time, including staying up late often, which may cause very serious harm to their health. We need to pay attention.

Pay attention to protection in daily life to avoid cross infection.

In daily life, we need to protect ourselves and reduce the time to go to public places. If we have to travel in public places often, we should also wear masks often, which is very necessary.

Always open the window for ventilation and disinfect the air regularly. Wear a mask when visiting patients. Tuberculosis is also spread through the air.

Three. Vaccinate in time

With the progress of medicine, there is now a tuberculosis vaccine. Vaccination in time can reduce the incidence of tuberculosis. Basically, today's newborns have been vaccinated with this vaccine. However, we also need to note that in some remote areas, vaccination may not be timely. We need to pay attention to screening and diagnosis.

4 be polite

This infectious tuberculosis bacteria can spread through the air. The saliva of tuberculosis patients may contain this bacterium. Be polite, don't spit everywhere, develop good hygiene habits and don't sneeze.
