What are the benefits of aspirin wiping your face?

Aspirin, also known as acetylsalicylic acid, is a kind of antipyretic and analgesic with a long history. If there is an inflammatory reaction on the face, you can wipe your face under the guidance of a doctor, which has certain anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects. But it is not recommended to use it privately.

Aspirin can be used for treating common cold, fever, headache, toothache, joint pain and rheumatism, inhibiting platelet aggregation, preventing and treating ischemic heart disease, angina pectoris, cardiopulmonary infarction and cerebral thrombosis, and improving the germination rate of plants. It is also effective in angiogenesis and bypass grafting.

Adverse reactions:

1 gastrointestinal symptoms

Gastrointestinal symptoms are the most common adverse reactions of aspirin, and the more common symptoms are nausea, vomiting, epigastric discomfort or pain.

Oral aspirin can directly stimulate gastric mucosa, causing epigastric discomfort and nausea and vomiting. Long-term use is easy to cause gastric mucosal damage, causing gastric ulcer and gastric bleeding. Long-term use should always monitor blood picture, fecal occult blood test and necessary gastroscopy.

When using aspirin, it is best to take it after meals or with antacids, and patients with ulcers should use it with caution or not. Drugs that enhance the barrier function of gastric mucosa, such as misoprostol, have special effects on peptic ulcer caused by non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs such as aspirin.

2 allergic reaction

People with specific physique can cause allergic reactions such as rash, angioneurotic edema and asthma after taking aspirin, which is more common in middle-aged people or patients with rhinitis and nasal polyps. It is caused by aspirin inhibiting prostaglandin production, and it is also related to its influence on immune system. Asthma is mostly severe and persistent. General antiasthmatic drugs are ineffective, and only hormones have better effects. Typical aspirin triad (aspirin intolerance, asthma and nasal polyps) can also occur.

3 Central nervous system

Taking large doses will generally lead to neurological symptoms and the so-called salicylic acid reaction. Symptoms are headache, dizziness, tinnitus and hearing loss. Mental disorders, convulsions and even coma may occur when taking large doses, and symptoms can be completely recovered 2-3 days after stopping taking drugs. Large doses can also cause central nausea and vomiting.

4 liver injury

Aspirin-induced liver injury usually occurs in large doses. This kind of damage is not an acute effect, which is usually asymptomatic for several months after treatment, and some patients have discomfort and tenderness in the right upper abdomen. The level of serum liver enzymes increased, but obvious jaundice was not common. This damage is reversible after stopping taking aspirin. After stopping aspirin, serum transaminase mostly returned to normal within 1 month. Children with systemic rheumatoid diseases are more prone to liver damage than the other two kinds of rheumatism.

After the liver damage caused by aspirin, the clinical treatment is to stop taking medicine, give amino acid rehydration, VitC, inosine and oral prednisone. Symptoms usually disappear after 1 week.

5 renal damage

Long-term use of aspirin can lead to interstitial nephritis, renal nipple necrosis and renal insufficiency. Long-term and large-scale use of this product can lead to oxidative phosphorylation decoupling, potassium escaping from renal tubular cells, resulting in potassium deficiency and high uric acid excretion in urine. The greater harm is that protein, cells and casts can appear in lower urine. Some people think that partial renal pelvis cancer is a secondary complication of the abuse of painkillers such as aspirin.

6 Effect on blood

Aspirin usually does not change the number of white blood cells and platelets, hematocrit and hemoglobin content. But taking aspirin for a long time can lead to iron deficiency anemia.

7 cardiotoxicity

The therapeutic dose of aspirin has no important direct effect on cardiovascular system. High dose can directly act on vascular smooth muscle, leading to peripheral vascular dilatation. Toxic dose can inhibit circulatory function through direct and central vascular contraction and pulsation.

Wright's syndrome

When aspirin is used to treat influenza or chickenpox in children, it may cause Wright syndrome. Wright syndrome is an acute encephalopathy and fatty infiltration syndrome of liver, which often occurs after some acute viral infections. The etiology is not clear, but it is generally believed to be related to the following factors: viruses (influenza virus and varicella virus), salicylates, exogenous viruses such as aflatoxin, inherent metabolic defects and so on. Can be caused by the coexistence or interaction of many factors. Aspirin is not recommended for viral cold in clinic.

9. Cross allergic reaction

When you are allergic to this product, you may also be allergic to another salicylic acid drug. However, people who are allergic to this product may not be allergic to non-acetylsalicylic acid drugs.

Special note: Aspirin is a western medicine with certain toxicity and should be used according to the doctor's advice.
