The drop in temperature is conducive to the survival and spread of bacteria and viruses, especially those with low resistance and chronic respiratory diseases. Older people are more susceptible to these disturbances, leading to recurring illnesses.
Reasons why patients with respiratory diseases are prone to attack in autumn
1. The climate change is complicated, and the body's resistance is reduced, which creates opportunities for bacteria and viruses to invade, causing upper respiratory tract infections, which gradually evolve into the lower Respiratory tract infection, leading to the onset of disease.
2. The temperature difference between day and night is large. Because the patient's respiratory mucosa is more fragile than normal, coupled with the constant stimulation of cold and heat, the structure is damaged, destroyed, and elasticity is lost, leading to the onset of disease.
3. The environment is seriously polluted, and the concentration of harmful substances such as particles and dust in the air increases. It is more likely to be inhaled by patients and accumulate in the respiratory tract, causing severe obstruction, causing breathing difficulties and causing disease attacks.
